2nd Logo (1970s-1984)


Logo: On a grey background, a black CRT shape with lines on it, is shown with a grey circle saying "6" in the middle of it; and below, there is a text saying "Televisión Cubana" ("Cuban Television") and the TVC logo at the time in the right of it.

Technique: Static/slide logo.

Note: Even though colour TV was introduced in Cuba in December 1975, it was in Tele Rebelde (Cubavisión's sister channel) to broadcast the First Congress of the Communist Party of Cuba; and Cubavisión didn't achieve full-time colour until 1985.

3rd Logo (1984-1989)


Logo: On a background (which mostly were the channel's studios buildings, but could variate depending on the variant), the logo zooms in with a white rectangle border from the TV antenna.

Technique: Scanimate-like animation.

Music/Sounds: A Cuban-sounding synth tune.

Availability: Extinct.

4th logo (1984-1986/1987)
Logo: On a blue background (probably clouds), a ball forms and zooms out, then a black background forms, and around the ball there's a TV camera shape, with the left side in red, the right side in blue, and the bottom part in white. The ball is replaced by a yellow 6, which later moves to the upper-rights and disappears, with a rotating image replacing it in the middle of the TV camera logo. Then a rotating logo (with the camera shape that appeared before, but with a white circle in the middle of it and both the 6 and the bottom part being black) appears and zooms out, then the backgrounds turns white-ish and the main logo changes colours to what mentioned in parentheses, with the 6 zooming up until being in its regular size.

Technique: Electronic/computer animation.

Music/Sounds: A synth rock tune with a bass and electric guitar.

Availability: Extinct. As of now, the only known recordings of this logo are in bad quality and in B&W (unless for a 1986 one which has some colour fragments), probably due to bad DX reception and USA jamming Cuban TV signals. However, there's a reconstruction made by "Canal Cuatro de Televisión", with mixed fragments from the existing videos; and a remake made by "No.", which was made from scratch. According to some YouTube comments and videos, this was used until either 1987 or July 1986, being a secondary logo.
