Canal 6 Cuba

1st Logo (1962-1970s)


Logo: The logo starts with a white background with various spinning sunray patterns varying in size and ray. The text: in white along with a white box containing "Courier" fades on the top-left corner shortly after, as well as "CANAL 6 " fading underneath the top-right corner portion of the preceding text one by one. The logo remains static for the last 15 seconds.

Technique: Cel animation.

Music/Sounds: A glockenspiel theme, as well as 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: None.

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 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.
