France Télévisions

Background
France Télévisions SA is the public national broadcaster of France. Currently, the main channels owned by the company include France 2 (formerly Antenne 2), France 3 (formerly France Régions 3), France 4 (formerly Festival) and France 5 (formerly La Cinquième). A fifth main channel, France Ô (formerly RFO Sat), was also part of the company but shut down in August 2020. France Télévisions also co-owns several other channels, namely France Info (co-owned by France TV along with Radio France, the INA and France Médias Monde) which serves as their news channel. In addition, France Télévisions provides an extensive regional output through France 3 in metropolitan France, but also in overseas islands through the La 1ère network.

1st Logo (1992-2002)
Logo: The sequence begins with the 2 and 3 of France 2 and France 3 (without the word Times New Roman) at their initial spots, with the "Times New Roman" text in-between them. The numbers then fly in opposite directions, revealing the program being promoted. The sequence is then reversed at the end, now showing the "Times New Roman" text, with the number of the channel being promoted quickly getting back into place before both fly away from the viewer, once more in opposite directions.

Technique: Unknown.

Music/Sounds: A drum and techno piece.

Availability: Extinct.

2nd Logo (April 7, 2008-September 5, 2011)
Logo: Various colors shoot in, stop from a distance and become squares. These squares then flip to their corporate directions. Once they're placed, they're revealed to be (representing France 2),  (representing France 3), purple (representing France 4), green (representing France 5) and  (representing France Ô). The squares stop into their position, zoom in slightly, and the wordmark "francetélévisions" fades in below.

Variant: In around 2010/2011, this branding was updated with newer animations and soundtrack.

Technique: The squares shooting in and flipping.

Music/Sounds: An ascending string note with an air fizz, a 2-note chime, and a gated synth.

Availability: Currently rare. May be seen on France Télévisions shows from the time.

3rd Logo (January 29, 2018-)
Logo: A dot appears in the middle of the screen before disappearing as a circle of dots is made around it. A singular dot then settles in as the word "france" fades in letter-by-letter to its left, while "tv" fades in to its right.

Variants: During cross-promotions for a single channel (for example, France 5), the same circle of dots appears from the dot between the "france" and "tv" text before settling back next to "france" with the number (or letter in France Ô's case) of the corresponding channel to the right of the dot. The color of dot will also change to correspond to the channel's own color: red for France 2, for France 3, purple for France 4, green for France 5 and yellow for France Ô (which it now shares with the La 1ère network).

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: Beeping noises.

Availability: Current. Seen most commonly during cross-promotions and other promos involving France Télévisions's channels or its websites. Also seen when a video begins to play on their websites.
