Télé Emploi

Background
Launched in 1994 to occupy the vacant slot of La Cinq, which closed two years earlier and became occupied by Arte in the evening, Télé Emploi (spelled "téléemploi, with quotation marks on the left and a comma on the right) was a temporary channel from France Télévisions made to educate viewers about employment and help them find jobs. The channel lasted from March 28th to April 17th, broadcasting from 7 A.M to 7 P.M on weekdays and from 12 P.M to 7 P.M on weekends. After its closure, La Cinquième (and then France 5) went on to handle the daytime hours of the fifth channel, with Arte handling the evening hours on analogue.

Only Logo (1994)


Logo: On a black background, multiple quotation marks in different sizes, colors and shapes appear on across the screen as male and female voices express surprise, confusion, acknowledgement, etc with different french words ("oui", "sur", "car", "mais", "or", "donc", "pour" to name a few), causing the quotation marks to appear in time with their words. The Télé Emploi logo then appears in the center of the screen in the Heldustry font, with the "emploi" part in bold, in a small flash as the quotation marks stop appearing. A female voiceover then announces "téléemploi. La chaîne de l'information pour l'emploi et la formation." ("téléemploi. The news channel for employment and formation.") Following this sequence are the broadcasting hours on the weekdays and week-end before switching to the schedule for either.

Variants:
 * Before signing on, a waiting screen with an orange background is displayed with the channel's name and slogan in the center, the duration of the channel and weekday broadcasting hours on the bottom left and the weekend broadcasting hours on the bottom right.
 * Promos for the Minitel or telephone services show multiple symbols such as an ellipsis, a parenthesis, a plus symbol, a division bar, a hash and a straight line spinning before they move away as a female voiceover tells the viewer that they can access more information on the channel's programs through the Minitel or by phone.
 * The Minitel promo has an orange hash spinning for a few seconds before becoming still on the top right, with the 3615 number (which allowed Minitel users to access a number of services instantly) and the TELE EMPLOI code on the left. The price of the connection's duration per minute is then displayed on the bottom right.
 * The telephone promo has a white parenthesis flipping horizontally four times before stopping, with the phone number on the right. The price for the call per minute is then displayed on the bottom right.
 * Startup: We see different forms of quotation marks appear. Then the logo of Télé Emploi appears, after which an announcer says the slogan "Télé Emploi, la chaine de l'emploi et de l'information." ("Télé Emploi, the employment and information channel.").

Technique: 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: Male and female voices, along with beeping sounds. Music/Sounds Variants: Several idents have different soundscapes based on the original sounds. For example, some idents use "donc" (so).
