1st ID (1984-1987)

NOTE: ID starts at 1:33

Visuals: On a red and blue background, with a white line separating the two colors, there is a black silhouette of a family and their dog watching random stuff on a screen (The planet Earth moving, and what seems to be a star making an unknown object explode). The scene on the screen then changes to the 1984 Telecapri logo. The Telecapri logo then zooms in, with "Retecapri" above the mountains. Like the Telecapri logo, the logo zooms in, as the scene zooms in to the black background, making the screen completely black. The logo then fades out.

Technique: Computer animation.

Audio: Part of "Venus Rhapsody" by Rockets transposed by +2 semitones, followed by an 'explosion', and a Italian announcer speaking: "Queste, è Retecapri".

2nd ID (Early 1990's)

Visuals: In a television control room, full of computer screens and controls, there is a grey silhouette walk in to the room, and press a button on one of the objects and a key on the computer, which makes the scene on two of the screens change from a green screen, to a ring on a space background with stars, and a blue layer below it. The scene then changes to the same scene depicted on the computer monitor, in which a white circle zooms out, and goes to the upper left hand corner, as three outlines of stars zoom in to the center. They all zoom in closer to the screen, as three outlines of circles (One red, one yellow, and one blue) zoom out to the center. "Retecapri" in white, then zooms/flips in below the three circles, as three more circles (this time, with the colors filled in them) collide with the other circles. The logo stays on screen for a few seconds, and fades to black.

Variants: A short version exists, where it begins when the stars appear.

Technique: Computer animation.

Audio: A soft, mid-tempo beat.
