Cubavisión

(1950-1962)


Logo: We see the channel's studios TV antenna, with the logo in the middle of the screen.

Technique: Static/slide logo.

Music/Sounds: A male announcer saying "CMQ Televisión".

Availability: Extinct.

Note: Even after the triumph of the Cuban Revolution and media expropiation, this logo was likely used until May 1962, when the ICR (called ICRT since 1975), the Cuban Broadcasting Institute, was founded by the Cuban government.

1st Logo (1962-1970s)


Logo: TBA

Technique: Cel animation.

Music/Sounds: Music TBA. A female announcer saying "Televisión nacional, canal 6 desde La Habana, Cuba, territorio libre de américa" (National television, channel 6 from Havana, Cuba, free territory of Americas).

Availability: Extinct.

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.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Extinct.

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 still had most of it's progamming in B&W (except movies, foreign programmes, special events and probably some programmes) until 1982-1984(?).

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.

Legacy: 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.

1st Logo (1989-1990)


Logo: TBA

Technique: Scanimate-like animation and probably live-action for the globe.

Music/Sounds: A mysterious-sounding synth that transitions into a Mambo track.

Availability: Extinct.

2nd Logo (1990-1996)


Logo: We start with blue and white stripes (a la the Cuban flag) sliding into place; as they finish, the screen fades to red and a white star in the center fades in. The logo fades to a top-down view of a star-shaped building. The camera pans up and then down through the building before zooming out to reveal a statue of José Martí, zooming out into a comfortable distance to reveal the full building with the name "CUBA Visión" in orange and the number 6 in red.

Technique: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: A synth fanfare that becomes majestic after the initial four notes.

Availability: Extinct.

3rd Logo (1996-2003)


Logo: Set on a blue background, we see a sphere with two split lines at the bottom and a zig-zag shape on the top quarter. The line segments are light blue whilst the top part is green. The ball rolls towards the camera before stopping, with the green bit facing the screen. The ball slowly rotates upwards as "cubavision" flies from the ball, turning and zooming in. The ball and text position themselves, then a light blinks on the line above the o.

Technique: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: A synth-pop fanfare.

Availability: Extinct.
