Background:
NPO 1 (formerly Nederland 1) is the first national television station in the Netherlands, which launched on October 2 of 1951. It provides public broadcasting and currently exists next to it's sister channels Nederland 2 and Nederland 3. A wide range of broadcasting organisations of the Publieke Omroep deliver programs to the channel. Starting in 2008, the channel it's the most viewed in the Netherlands.



1st (known) Logo
(1991-1996)

Nicknames: "Pattern Rhombus", "Dutch Rhombus I", "Fog Rhombus"

Logo: We see a wide rhombus displaying various patterns/images while zooming out. It's seen with the top facing the camera. Once the rhombus stops zooming out a light appears illuminating it, and we see coins in the left side of the screen when that happens. Then a blue rhombus (not very wide like before) fades in and the yellow "1" appears on the center of it.

Variants: Depending on the program genre, the background and patterns that show in the rhombus change:

  • Entertainment: Dark zebra pattern background, the rhombus shows other zebra patterns with different colors.
  • News: Black background, the rhombus shows a weird pattern (it is maybe a stone pattern or the world map at night). There's also fog in this variant, which later intensifies at the second half of the logo. To end, the logo fades out in a white color.
  • Current Affairs/Information: Static-like background, the rhombus shows various texts of "Info" in various fonts and colors. Fog is also shown at the 2nd half part of the logo, but it clears out near the end.
  • There's also a ident which shows a black background and fog, with the rhombus displaying various colorful patterns. The fog also intensifies at the 2nd half of it.
FX/SFX: Nice animation there.

Music/Sounds: Depends on the variant shown.

Availability: Extinct. If you live in the Netherlands, check those old recorded tapes!

Editor's Note:It depends on the variant shown, but all of them aren't very scary or notable.
