1st Logo (1972)

Visuals: There is a sketch of various abstractly drawn plants with a bird resting on one of the necks. On the top right corner is the “TM” square but in B&W.

Technique: A still cel-drawn graphic.

Audio: An announcer saying “Ici Télé-Métropole”.

2nd Logo (1977-1984)

Visuals: On a black background, there is a lavender metallic rounded square outline rotating clockwise, along with 2 metallic letters “TM” but more warped rotating counter-clockwise. The objects spin about 2 times until they face forward.

Technique: Live-action.

Audio: A synthesized orchestral fanfare.

3rd Logo (1979)

Visuals: On a space background, various copies of the "TM" are seen inside of the rounded square outline in the form of a rainbow flipping to the right side. The screen zooms away as the copies continue appearing/flipping. As the last copy appears, it reveals a rounded green square right next to the blue rounded box with the curved "T" and the warped "M", which flashes for less than a second. Shortly after, "TELE-METROPOLE" appears from the centre, which gradually zooms in leaving a trail and places itself below the green square and the "TM" square.

Technique: Scanimation.

Audio: A funky synth orchestral tune.

4th ID (1984)

Visuals: The first element shown is an image of the Montreal skyline. A bicoloured rounded square along with a metallic version of the “TM” square flips and rapidly zooms in towards the screen, before stopping when it gets close. At the moment it stops, the squares shine.

Technique: Likely Scanimate effects.

Audio: A 5-note trumpet fanfare, followed by an upbeat synth tune.

-'''Logo:''' On a black background, three vertical bars in the colors green, red and blue appear one-by-one from left ro right. As the last bar appears, The red bar places itself to the middle and morphs itself to a rounded square outline, while the green and blue bars are flipped horizontally until they’re inside the red box, with the green bar being above the blue bar. The 2 bars shrink by themselves until they form the green letter “T” at the top and the blue “M” at the bottom, which is against a white backdrop. As the formation finishes, the box shrinks to the top-left corner, as three curves in the colors blue, red and green appear from the right side and place themselves at the bottom of the screen and the other half of the curves fade in shortly after. This is then followed by a yellow bulging semi-circle with a white circle with 2 curved triangles sticking out and a red curve wiping in from bottom to top, revealing that the shapes form an abstract rooster crowing. It stays still for the last 5 seconds.
