Background

Radiodiffusion-Télévision Française (RTF) was the French national public broadcaster television organization established on 9 February 1949 to replace the post-war "Radiodiffusion Française" (RDF). It was replaced then by the notionally less strictly government-controlled Office de Radiodiffusion Télévision Française (ORTF) on June 26, 1964.[1]

ID (February 1959-June 26, 1964)

Visuals: On a black background, several lines fold in to form ellipses. The ellipses then flatten, becoming lines that form a ray shape together and turn towards the screen to form a 3D rotating ellipse outline. The ellipse then becomes a 2D oval before splitting into 3 that form an atom-like shape. The text "RTF" zooms in from the center of the shape, and "Télévision" in a cursive font appears below.

Closing Visuals: The animation is played in reverse with the last animation being different: the lines reappear as pulsating rays which slowly dissipate at the center of the screen as if they were zooming away as a star.

Technique: Cel animation.

Audio: A bombastic, classical orchestral theme.
