Teleantillas

Background

Tele Antillas is a Dominican public television broadcasting through channel 2 and previously also in channel 13. Its the official TV channel for most events. It started its broadcastings in 1979 and is currently owned by Grupo Corripio.

1st Logo (1979-1980s)

Visuals: On a starry space backdrop, light blue lines appear being formed to the center of the screen, which looks like a "TA". The shape flashes and becomes solid/metallic, and below zooms "canales" with a rounded square containing the numbers "2" and "13".

Variant: Another ID was released in 1981. In this version, the space is less shiny, the blue colors from the "TA" are darker, and below we see instead "CANALES 2 Y 13". Not much is known of the rest of the ID, due the only online capture shows it incomplete.

Technique: Cel animation.

Audio: An echoing announcer saying "Teleantillas Canal es 2 en Santo Domingo y 13 en Santiago", as well as two whoosh sounds at the beginning.

2nd Logo (1990s-2000)

Visuals: The logo starts off with colorful lines appearing from the top center and animating all over the place on a black background. One second in, and the text "TA" in the same style as the last logo slides in from the bottom to the top of the logo, revealing an environment consisting of a indigo-orange sky and a black silhouette of a city. As the text is nearly complete, another text that says "TELEANTILLAS" slides in, this time from the top to the bottom of the logo. Throughout the entirety of the logo, the colorful lines are still in contact and animating like usual.

Variant: There is an alternate variation of the ident, which consists of the same two text placed at an angle on a dark red-black gradient background with nine inverted lines.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: A group of people singing, as well as six drum notes at the beginning and an electric guitar playing at the end..

3rd Logo (2000-2004)

Visuals: On an extreme close-up of the number "2" in a light blue-white gradient color, a gray square outline is shown zooming out. Once the outline is complete zooming out, the outline fills in to make a gray square that includes the white number "2", and the square slides to the left as different clips of programs appear next to each other. A sphere appears at the center of the logo, making an explosion and the same background number rotating at a different angle, as well as the text "estás viendo" and a white rectangular outline to appear. Then, the logo passes by the sphere, clips, and the square to reveal the white number "2" appearing via a glow effect and zooming closer to the logo, followed by a small beam surrounding the number and animating similar to a rectangular outline fashion. Meanwhile, multiple white lines move all over the logo. As the number gets closer, it is revealed that the same number in a dimmer color is shown behind the number and animating at a slower pace. Once the number is as close as ever, another explosion occurs, making a transition to the same background number at yet another angle different from the last shot. Also appearing from the explosion is the text "TA2, followed by a silver sphere and the text TELEANTILLAS, which appears via a "wiping in" effect. The logo briefly glows, making the sphere appear as a brown circle. Finally, the text and sphere stays as is while two number "2"'s animates the exact same as the number in the previous scene at a faster rate.
