RPC-TV is a television network, and is headquartered in Panama City, Panama, with repeaters throughout the country. The station broadcasts in NTSC format and in Panama City also in DVB-T format.

1st Logo (1960-1968)
 | This logo is currently missing in action. Please do not add reconstructions of the logo if any exist, as they are likely not accurate to the actual logo. Additionally, do not attempt to add a finalized description of the logo until it has been found in its entirety. |
Logo: The only source of this logo is that on a grey background, there's a rounded rectangle with the text "RPC" on it.
Technique: Unknown, as it's logo for now is only a capture for it's long-lost existence.
Audio: Unknown.
Availability: We are unsure if there's a video of this logo, as their first of it's broadcasting days are for now history.
2nd Logo (1968-1980)
Logo: On a brown background with colorful lines, we see a yellow circle, inside it is Huaca (weird creature with smile up to his eyes and wearing a weird hair design. And wearing a yellow outfit), The name of the company dose not appear.
Trivia: RPC's iconic logo came from a pre-Columbian piece called Huaca.
Technique: None, which makes this logo more ominous.
Audio: None.
Audio Variant: On startups and closedowns, they used it's national anthem (Himno Istmeño) as it's music. Sometimes it would use it's stock music, "Lamento" composed by Avelino Muñoz.

Logo: On a black background, we see several shot's of a circle, which has a Huaca inside it. Then it cut's to several shots of another Huaca statue, one of the shot's have the image zooming out before cutting to the image of the previous logo but closer (so that you can see his teeth) moving. Then it fades into the same Huaca statue from earlier spinning moving to the left side of the screen before vanishing, then we see that same Huaca statue but smaller spinning around inside a springing dot forming a circle, then the "RPC" fade's in.
Technique: A lot of camera controlled animation of the images, and CGI of the spinning Huaca statue and text fading in.
Audio: A traditional Panamanian theme with a announcer.
