Background

The Omroepvereniging VARA (simply known as the VARA; originally Vereeniging van Arbeiders Radio Amateurs until 1957, but today it's no longer an acronym) is a Dutch public broadcasting organization that operates with the Netherlands Public Broadcasting (NPO: Nederlandse Publieke Omroep). The company mostly broadcasts shows about labour and working, but also participated in broadcasting on other genres including children's shows like The Smurfs and sitcoms. It also operates on some of the Dutch parts of Belgium. On January 1, 2014, VARA was merged with BNN to form BNNVARA.

1st Logo (1990-1995)


Visuals: On a black background, we see various silver lines. A red ball is seen crossing them and drops down few of the holes of these lines. The last cut features the lines seen from above and they're revealed to make the word "VARA". The ball moves to the bottom of the "R" and the lines move away to reveal the trademark logo. A red exclamation mark is in place of the line of the "R'. The background changes into a multicolored light background before the whole thing cuts away for almost a second.

Variants:

  • On invision continuities, the logo is shortened, and when the lines move away the background doesn't change. The trademark logo moves to the top-left corner to start the continuity.
  • A production version has the logo still.

Technique: CGI by Lion Keezer and Margot Smeyer.

Audio: A calm piano tune, followed by a 5-note synth tune, which later became VARA's signature jingle from 1983-2009. Composed by Henk Westrus.

Availability: The normal animated logo was seen during VARA programming on the NPO channels. The production logo may be still seen somewhere around.

2nd Logo (1995-1997)


Visuals: The idents consist of live-action clips that include the red exclamation mark from the logo. The VARA logo fades in at the upper-left corner.

Technique: Live-action by the English company Pittard & Sullivan.

Audio: Depends on the variant.

Availability: Used in tandem with the previous logo.

3rd ID (March 7, 2002-2008)


Visuals: On a black/red light background, a red box featuring an exclamation mark is seen along with the word "VARA". There's some variants in which the box does an specific action.

Variants:

  • The box may walk in and stop at the left of the word.
  • The box may dance in one of the variants.
  • Another variant shows the box moving very fast and then settling into place.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: Depends on the variant.

Availability: Again, found during VARA programming on NPO channels during the time.
