TV1 (Malaysia)

Background

TV1 (formerly TV Malaysia, Rangkaian Pertama and RTM1) is a Malaysian free-to-air television channel owned and operated by Radio Televisyen Malaysia. Launched on December 28, 1963, it is the first and oldest TV station in Malaysia.

1st Logo (January 1, 2009-2011)

Logo: TBA

Technique: 3D CGI.

Music/Sounds: A news-like electronic theme.

Availability: Extinct.

2nd Logo (January 2011-2013)

Logo: Against a grey background with a light at the center, we see a blue "1" in front of the background. Ten square-thorns in different colors from red to pink then enter fly in and surround the 1. After the objects present in the logo do a full rotation, they zoom out as the 1 disappears. The square-thorns then duplicate to form a helix and zoom toward the screen before leaving. As the light in the background flashes, the 1 reappears. After the tip of the 1 hits the screen, it turns red with a black gradient and sets its position as "tv" appears at the left side of the 1. The tv1 logo then does a full rotation before a flash appears at the top right of the 1 as the background gets a bit brighter.

Trivia: The square-thorns in this logo are based on the windows for the Angkasapuri building, which had been the headquarters of Radio Televisyen Malaysia since 1968.

Variant: Sometimes, the beginning of the logo is cut off.

Technique: 3D CGI.

Music/Sounds: It can be either of these, which end in the channel's four-note jingle at the time:

• A DJ tune.
• An electronic theme with the four-note jingle played with a synthesizer.

Availability: Extinct.

3rd Logo (February 2013-December 31, 2016)

Logo: On a cloudy grey background, we see a silver structure of the tv1 logo. The logo begins to gain its colors, with the tv turning blue, and the 1 turning red. As the screen flashes, we see different views on the logo getting its colors. In the last shot, we see the logo and the slogan, Mewarnaimu (Colors you), spin around. As the logo settles at the middle with the slogan underneath it, a colorful explosion appears in the background.

Variants:

• Flowers: We see a close-up of pink flowers on a background with trees, with the right one being the clearest. The tv1 logo rotates and fades in at the top left of the screen, with the slogan in white next to it. As the logo shines, the slogan changes color for a few seconds before turning back to white.
• Sunset: We pan by a gazebo next to a river with a distant view of Kuala Lumpur and light from the sun. As birds begin to fly in from the right towards the left of the screen, the tv1 logo rotates and fades in at the bottom near the left of the screen and shines, with Syukurilah Nikmat-Nya appearing at the bottom right of the screen as a light passes through the bottom of it.

Technique: 3D CGI.

Music/Sounds: A twenty-seven-note dubstep tune.

• A different arrangement existed with a woman singing the slogan's name.

Music/Sounds Variants:

• The flowers variant uses a calm nineteen-note piano tune, accompanied by some triangle sounds.
• The sunset variant uses a calm twenty-five-note flute and piano tune accompanied by a choir.

Availability: Extinct.

4th Logo (January 1, 2017-2018)

Logo: Two different variants are known to have aired on the channel:

• We see the bottom right at the back of a glass structure of the tv1 logo on a white background. The structure is then filled with differently-colored cubes as the camera moves to reveals most of the 1. We see a few more different views of the logo, where we pan by the top of the t, the bottom of the v, and the the top of the 1. When we cut to see the full structure of the logo, the logo zooms away from us a bit before turning opaque by multiple lights as a shadow appears under it and it gains its usual colors, with the tv turning blue, and the 1 turning red, as the cubes outside the logo disappear. The letters of the slogan, Mewarnaimu, flip in below before turning multicolored.
  • A later variant premiered sometime around late 2017. It features the logo on a cyan-white gradient background. The logo also floats when it zooms away from us.
• We see multiple multi-colored lights flying over gray cubes over a reflecting surface surrounded by a navy skybox. We see a view of the cubes, which turn into differently-colored cubes as light passes over them. We then see a view of the sky as the multicolored lights form the tv1 logo. Another set of multicolored lights appear and fly to the top of the screen as Mewarnaimu appears by a light letter-by-letter.

Variants: TBA

Technique: 3D CGI produced by the Graphic Operation Centre.

Music/Sounds:

• One of the idents use a fast, thirty-two-note piano tune, followed by a eight-note tune accompanied by choir and drum noises.
• The other main ident uses an electronic tune with beat noises and some xylophone notes. It ends with five more xylophone notes.

Availability: Extinct.

6th Logo (April 1, 2021-March 31, 2022)

Logo: On a white background, we see seven differently-colored dust particles revolving away from us and colliding, causing a dusty explosion. After the screen flashes, we see more of the dust particles which fly in from the left and right of the screen and collide with each other. The tv1 logo appears, along with the slogan, MERWARNAIMU underneath it and a thin purple-pink cloth-like object at the bottom of the screen.

Technique: Same as before.

Availability: Extinct on TV.

7th Logo (April 1, 2022-)

Logo: TBA

Variants:

• The logo may last twenty or thirty seconds.
• There is a shorter and different variant where blue and red dust particles collide to form the tv1 logo, before "MEWARNAIMU" transitions in below and a light passes through it. After a few seconds, the logo reverts to dust and the slogan disappears.

Technique: A combination of live action and CGI produced by rGba Studio.

Music/Sounds: An orchestral tune with a group of women singing.
