Nickname: "Europe's Number 1"
Logo: Against a cloudy background, or a space background, the text "SKY" in a 3D, chrome stylized font, flips toward the screen, stops and shines. The text "EUROPE's NUMBER #1" wipes in. Sometimes, we pan through the SKY logo and it zooms out. "CHANNEL" fades in.
FX/SFX: Not bad for the '80s.
Music/Sounds: A majestic fanfare, with an announcer saying "This is Sky, Europe's number 1.". On the space variant, a synth guitar theme plays, then after the announcer says "This is SKY.", a choir sings "Europe's number 1.".
Availability: Extinct, but preserved on tape by various people.
Editor's Note: None.

Nickname: "First-Generation Sky Look"
Logo: We start with an extreme close up of the SKY logo, panning through the letters. Then we zoom out, and a gold line writes in the word "channel". On some shows, the word "TELEVISION" zooms out.
FX/SFX: The zooming out, and the writing of the word "TELEVISION".
Music/Sounds: A light mellow tune combined with what sounds like the ticking of a clock. On the "TELEVISION" variant, a single synth theme was used.
Availability: Extinct, but preserved on tape by various people.

Nickname: "Neon Sky"
Logo: On a black background, we see the SKY logo rotating into place, with what looks like glass swirls spinning counterclockwise around it. When it stops, tilted at an angle, a gold line writes out the word "Channel" (or "One", as of 1989). The letters "glow".
Trivia: On 30 July 1989, Sky Channel became "Sky One", the name was used until 1996 and again from 1997 to 2008.
Variant: In 1990, the script "One" was replaced by a sans-serif "ONE" which descends into the logo, accompanied by a thinner neon light version of it.
FX/SFX: Absolutely modern effects which could still stand up, even today. Sky was always famous for its professional-looking idents.
Music/Sounds: Same as the 2nd logo.
Availability: Same as the 2nd logo.
Editor's Note: None. This is a nice logo.

Nickname: "'90s Sky"
Logo: On a blue background with the words "SKY ONE" swirling around, we see a bunch of streaks fly in and form the SKY "ring", and 3 glass copies of the SKY logo, at an angle, forming one SKY logo. It turns to rotate us, and tilts back a little bit. The letters "O", "N", and "E", encased in silver "boxes", fly in, and turn blue, yellow, and red, respectively. The whole thing shines.
Variants: There were many, depending on the topic. (e.g: Sports, Sports 2, News, Movies, Movie Channel, Movies Gold, Travel, Soap).
FX/SFX: Another professional masterpiece.
Music/Sounds: A nice mellow tune, composed by jingle writer Frank Gari. An announcer says "From the Sky Satellite Network, this is Sky One.". Each of the Sky channels had a jingle which incorporated the musical logo from this jingle (a recurring set of six notes); for example, Sky News's version combined it with Gari's Great News (used by the channel from 1989-1993), and Sky Soap had a version that sounded like the theme song to General Hospital.
Availability: Same as before.
Editor's Note: This is very professional.

Nickname: "First-Generation Tombstone Look"
Logo: On a swirling background which flashes, the SKY logo, in a long rectangle, rotates to face the screen while zooming out. Yellow "curtains" part, presenting the word "one", in a bold, italic font.
Variants: There were many, depending on the topic (e.g: Sports, Sports 2, Movies, Movie Channel, Movies Gold, Soap, News, Travel)
FX/SFX: You know where this is going.
Music/Sounds: Another soothing tune, followed by a majestic 7 note horn fanfare. Also customized, depending on the topic. An announcer says, "This is Sky (One, Soap, Travel, News, Sports, Movies), part of the Sky Satellite Network."
Availability: Same as before.

Nickname: "Second-Generation Tombstone Look"
Logo: We see the SKY logo from before, from an upper-right angle. It rotates to face us with a flash, and the number "1" (or the number "2") fades in. Four comets streak behind the logo and the background swirls and twirls wildly. Sometimes, the rectangle that the logo is in is horizontal instead of vertical.
Variants:
FX/SFX: Professional CGI again.
Music/Sounds: A nice jazzy tune. Also customized, depending on the topic. An announcer says, "This is Sky (One, Soap, Travel, News, Sports 1, Sports 2, Sports 3, Scottish, Movies).".
Availability: Same as before.

Logo: There are 6 (and maybe more) different logos in use for the Sky trio since its rebrand in August. Each channel uses a different theme for its logo: 1 has blue crystals, 2 has green slime and 3 has pink sparkles. Aside from 3 basic versions, there is a Lost and a Bones themed ident, as well as one which was made for Christmas 2008.
FX/SFX: Varies on each version of the logo.
Music/Sounds: Each logo has its own unique jingle.
Availability: Extinct.
Editor's Note: None.
Logo: Over live action footage, a CGI 1, 2 or 3 is featured. The channel logo fades in towards the end. In later years, Sky 1 started to use their own unique variants instead of the standard ones, promoting shows like Arrow, The Muppets, Stella and You, Me and the Apocalypse, to name a few.
FX/SFX: All of them are more or less live action, though the logo is rendered in CGI. The Arrow variant, for example, has the titular hero shoot the Sky 1 logo with an arrow, causing it to shatter into many pieces, the logo reforming a few moments later. The Muppets variant features the logo appearing as Miss Piggy walks into view, covering her face to her annoyance. She walks off the screen, and reappears a moment later, this time standing directly in front of the logo.
Music/Sounds: As with the previous logo, all of them feature their own unique jingle and/or sounds.
Availability: Now extinct. The logos might be preserved on sites like Youtube or TV-Ark.
