Background

Radio Tokyo renamed itself to Tokyo Broadcasting System on November 29, 1960 to represent its activities beyond radio. In 2000, TBS spun-off its radio division to its wholly-owned subsidiary TBS Radio & Communications. In 2009, TBS restructured as a holding company, transferring the TV division to TBS Television and renaming itself to TBS Holdings.

Animated Logos

1st Logo (December 12, 2009-September 16, 2019)

Visuals: A sparkling spotlight shines on a black background as a crystallized, transparent Kanji person with an antenna on top of its head in a walking motion slowly descends. "TBS" and "Tokyo Broadcasting System Television, Inc.", both crystallized and transparent, are below. The figure stops above "TBS," and the spotlight fades out. The figure turns red, "TBS" turns blue and "Tokyo Broadcasting System Television, Inc." turns white.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: Some crystallized chimes and a whoosh. NBC airings of American Ninja Warrior use generic music and an announcer.

Availability: Seen on American Ninja Warrior, the American adaptation of Sasuke, until season 11. Also used as an ident.

2nd Logo (September 7, 2020-)

Visuals: A blue line flies from the bottom-left on a black background. As it flies up, something rises from the line, unfolding to reveal the 2020 "TBS" wordmark in blue. The text shines and moves up as "TOKYO BROADCASTING SYSTEM" slides in and stops either next to or below "TBS".

Technique: CGI.

Audio: None. NBC airings of ANW use generic music and an announcer.

Availability: Seen on American Ninja Warrior from season 12 onward, and on My Family.
