Logo: Something put behind a half-black half-white decoration.
Variants:
- Startup: First we see a lightning flash showing a blank screen. After a while, the police comes to inform that this channel is illegal. Then switches go off, clocks go round, antennas start receiving signals and we cut to the television in full view. Then it starts showing random imagery from penguins, dogs and cats to people in a snowsuit, dancers and a feather. It all ends when a woman with green eyes opens them, after which we get a transition to the logo.
- Closedown: The green eyed women in the startup closes her eyes. People start doing their acts in reverse against the white background. In some transitions the TV will also show up. After that the tv shows the end of all antennas, after which the TV after a lot of bruise closes down, then the women at the start closes her eyes again followed by the logo getting shown.
FX/SFX: Live-action. Very likely an early example of digital filmmaking.
Music/Sounds: The normal variant uses trumpet and drum. For the start-up variant, the thing starts with the song "Start Me Up" by The Rolling Stones and then transitions into a beatbox/piano piece and trumpet with background noises behind it. The close-down variant is also a piano piece.
