Background

SIC was launched on October 6, 1992 by magazine publisher Impresa, 9 other companies and Brazilian television channel Rede Globo as Portugal's first commercially-funded free-to-air television channel.

1st Logo (October 6, 1992-1997)

• 

Visuals: There are many clips of Rede Globo footage during that year and the years before, after that we see the SIC logo (a 3D S, I and C, with a trail connnected with the S to C) with a transparent trail, and the ball fades out.

Variants:

• A short version exists, only with the near end logo.
• The break bumper variant has the trail being always opaque, and only the plot is the 2 sides of the trail.
• During 1996, when the I comes to it's place, it will reverse and forward like a disc from DJs to the tune of Walk this Way by Aerosmith.
• Here are the Rede Globo Clips ranging from the start to the end:
  • Rede Globo "Camera Ident", which has the SIC logo.
  • Rede Globo "Rainbow Trails"
  • Rede Globo "Epson Sphere"

2nd Logo (1997-2001)

•
