Background

Rede Bandeirantes (or simply known as Band) is a Brazilian free-to-air television network. It began broadcasting on May 13, 1967 on VHF channel 13 in São Paulo. Its founder was businessman João Saad with the help of his father-in-law and former São Paulo governor Adhemar de Barros. In terms of audience and revenue, it is currently the fourth largest Brazilian television network. It broadcasts throughout Brazil through its owned-and-operated stations and affiliates. It also has a series of pay TV channels and it broadcasts internationally via Band Internacional.

1st Logo (1967-1972)

Logoː On a tan background, we see 2 spiral-like shapes in gray surrounding a circle in the same color, with the number "13" in tan. All of the shapes then get closer to the screen before transforming into another shape in the same color, which in turn transitions to the following program's opening.

Variantː Sometimes, the shapes don't transform, and therefore, shortened.

FX/SFXː 2D Animation.

Music/Soundsː An eerie echo-like announcer saying in Portuguese "TV Bandeirantes, Channel 13, presents".

Availabilityː Extinct on TV.

2nd Logo (1972-1978)

Logoː On a tan background with dark green leaves, we see a multi-colored butterfly flying to the right. After 10 seconds, it gets on the blue text "CANAL". Then the sene expands to reveal the text to be on a blue number "13".

FX/SFXː 2D Animation.

Music/Soundsː A Brazilian Choir, along with a Brazilian Announcer saying something.

Availabilityː Extinct on TV, and only actually seen on Band: 35 Years of Historia.

3rd Logo (1978-1980)

Logoː On a black background, we see the shapes from the 1st logo now in a green outline in the center, and the text "BANDEIRANTES" in the same color below. Then the shapes and text "shine".

FX/SFXː 2D Animation.

Music/Soundsː A loud synth noise is heard. A few times, only the opening theme of the program is heard.

Availabilityː Extinct on TV.

4th Logo (1980-1982)

Logo: We see a satellite (possibly Intelsat-5) flying over a blue/white globe, then a line is formed with the 2 brown curves on a circle, forming the Band logo from the time. Sparkles appear below revealing the word "Bandeirantes" on a stylised font (Motter Tektura), while the logo is changes to white.

Variantsː A multitude of variants exist, including one where the eye logo opens.

FX/SFX: Live-Action.

Music/Sounds: A Brazilian Announcer, along with a majestic 4-note tune at the end.

Availability: Extinct on TV.

5th Logo (1982-1985)

Logo: The logo begins with a gold satellite spinning on a space background. There are stars shining in the background. This transitions to a tower-like outline with Earth beside it. Colorful blocks (it's hard to explain what they are) then appear. From the left, a horizontal grid appears with a satellite rising out of it. A circular pattern "shoots" out of the satellite. This pattern zooms out, and two horizontal gold chevrons appear from opposing sites. The pattern is now a red chrome ball in the center. "BANDEIRANTES" in a tall, bold font is seen on the bottom.

FX/SFX: Most of the animation is scanimate with some things like the stars done in live-action, all of this supposedly done by Image West.

Music/Sounds: It starts off with a synth flourish accompanied with a few dark piano notes. This theme continues until the logo formation, until the final logo forms. From then, six piano notes play, followed by a four-note synthesized jingle which eventually filters out. An announcer accompanies this. He says (in English): "ZYB 514 Rede Bandeirantes Rio de Janeiro. The image of space".

Availability: Extinct on TV. May have appeared on old tapes, but this is highly unlikely. Check Brazilian VHS archives (if there are any), go to Brazil to find a VHS with this logo, or search on YouTube/Dailymotion/etc. to find this.

6th Logo (1985-1989)

Logo: On a white background, we see multiple lime green buttons and a few tall cylinders. Then the camera moves all over the place to reveal more buttons and cylinders. Then the camera points at a sphere and an eye outline backs away to surround the sphere. The company name somehow doesn't appear.

FX/SFX: 3D animation.

Music/Sounds: Like most Central and South American IDs, a majestic 80s' tune.

Availability: Extinct on TV.
