Visuals:

Opening: Against a space background, a yellow glowing circle is shown from the distance, with a scrolling perspective yellow grid surface. Then, the words "NED. (number may vary between 1 to 2, day may vary between monday to sunday)" slide out separately, with white trails following it. As they zoom out towards the circle, it reveals a model of the Veronica logo in blue rotating and zooming in.

Opening: A purple background wipes in along a silver scrolling perspective grid. At the distance, the tri-dimensional model of the Veronica logo in blue fades and slowly zooms in whilst spinning. As it settles into place, the words "ned. (number may vary between 1 to 2, day may vary between monday to sunday)" or either "nederland (number may vary between 1 to 2)" rise in with a white trail. Yellow sparkles appear in the logo.
Closing: It starts on the same background with the grid, where the Veronica logo in said color rises down and then shrinks to the middle. A yellow sparkle appears from the distance, which reveals "tot ziens" scrolling in above the grid surface, and adjusts to it's current position when it's more close up.

8th ID (1984-1985)

Visuals:

Opening: At a horizontal perspective blue-black vortex scenery with glowing bars at both sides, a white, blue glowing beam quickly sweeps diagonally, revealing a scrolling, perspective teal grid, and the screen adjusts to it's current angle. Whilst this happens, 9 blue laser beams shoot from the distance, which lightens up one of the sides of the vertex. The letters for the Veronica logo in blue slides from the left altogether, and stand still. Then, the number "1" or "2" zooms out, and stands from the middle underneath it. "Nederland" and "(day may vary between monday to sunday)" slide behind and between the number.
Closing: At the opening sequence, the Veronica logo is shown stretched out at the grid's path. After the beam passes, the Veronica logo stretches in as it glows. Later on, the logo sweeps out upwards, as the separated words "tot ziens" slide between the sides of the screen. It quickly glows, and zooms out with a trail. The vortex begins to darken out.

Technique: Scanimation by Image West.

Audio:

Opening: A deep, groovy guitar tune with trumpets. Whooshes and zapping sounds are heard. Choruses are heard saying "Dit is Veronica".

8th ID (1985-1990)

Visuals: Against footage of a cockpit in an aircraft, the pilot appears to be pulling some sort of lever. It then fades to a yellow cloudy background with the aircraft flying out of the screen, with four moai statues underneath. It then fades to another footage of the cockpit on said background, where the pilot appears to be looking at some sort of TV footage. It fades to the same background with the aircraft in the side view shown flying to the right with the same four moai statues underneath. It fades to another footage of the same cockpit, with half of the aforementioned on the left completely shown. It then fades to the same background, now what appears to be a mountain from the distance, with the aircraft in the back view flying out towards some clouds. It fades to another footage, settled against a blue-gray wavy background, where there is a helicopter flying towards the Statue of Liberty. It is followed by the cockpit with the pilot, against the aforementioned statue. It then directly fades to a closeup of a person's eye, then to footage of a downwards view of a locomotive passing by, then to another which passes through the bridge on a red-magenta cloudy background. Then to another, in which it passes through the rails, and finally, to another, where it passes by against a yellow-dark magenta cloudy background. It then directly fades to a black-dark purple cloudy background where there is a car passing by in a bridge with dim lights, then to another dark cloudy background with a dark bridge from the left, with a motorboat passing by, then a dark magenta-yellow cloudy background with a sketched building on an ocean surface with a white aircraft passing by and the Veronica logo in gold above. It then fades to the closeup of the locomotive passing by, the helicopter's rotor sliding by in a cloudy background, the aircraft passing forwards on another cloudy background with hills, then finally to a black-navy cloudy background with fog where there is a woman staring at the screen before fading out. Behind it is blue fog, in which forms to the Veronica logo in blue.
