Rede Vida

Rede Vida (Brazil)This is a featured page Logo descriptions by SnowflakesOmega, Unnepad

Background: Rede Vida is an educational TV station located in the Sao Paulo state of Brazil, launched in 1995.

1st Logo (1995-1997, 2002-2004)

Logo: Over a blue gradient background, various golden arrow lines meet and place in a six-pointed star fashion. The pieces rotate all together as they move back, and the text "REDEVIDA" flies from the left and places below.

FX/SFX: Very simple CGI animation, but at least of decent quality. This was their first ident after all. By this logo's second run (early 2000s), it was showing its age.

Music/Sounds: 1995-1997: A female choir singing the station's name. 2002-2004: A 4-note fanfare. Availability: Extinct. Debuted on 1995 as a main ident, then brought back in 2002 as a post-call ident for 2 years.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (1997-1998)

Logo: The screen is filled with a very bright light, the star logomark is seen rotating from the bottom to frontal view. The light dims out and reveals a plain blue sky background with clouds, and the text from before. A flare passes through "VIDA" after it happens.

FX/SFX: The light, the logo rotating.

Music/Sounds: A proud fanfare.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: None.

3rd Logo (2 Years Ident) (1997)

Logo: A blue sphere is seen on a yellow surface with a blue gradient sky, as some tube appear falling over the sphere, and a yellow shape appear rising from the floor. The words "2 Anos" moves through the screen and some red-white appear moving and dissapearing in middle of the air, like they're flickering. While this, we see that the tube shapes are forming a barrier covering the sphere. We zoom towards the sphere, and once inside we see the Rede Vida logo and the words "REDEVIDA" in a blue-white background.

FX/SFX: Various shapes animated in 3D.

Music/Sounds: A majestic theme.

Availability: Extinct. Used to commemorate the 2-year anniversary of the channel.

Editor's Note: Minimal.

4th Logo (1998-2002)

Logo: On a black/blue background, the planet Earth is seen on the bottom panning to the right, and a bright star appears on the top-left. The Rede Vida logo then zooms into us from the same star, and shines.

FX/SFX: The movement of the elements of the logo, the shining.

Music/Sounds: An energetic orchestral fanfare.

Availability: Extinct. Used along with the next two idents described below.

Editor's Note: None.

5th Logo (1998-2002)

Logo: Over a blurry purple background the Rede Vida logo rotates into view with a glow. The glow then dims once it settles.

FX/SFX: Plain CGI.

Music/Sounds: A rock fanfare.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: None.

6th Logo (1999-2002)

Logo: We see a transparent sphere floating to the right in front of a dark cloudy sky. There's a sudden freeze and the sphere flashes into a zooming Rede Vida logo, starting from top view to get into frontal position. The sky then fades into a purple/blue/green light background.

FX/SFX: Decent animation, but it has dated over time.

Music/Sounds: A percussive fanfare with synths.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: None.

7th Logo (2002-2004)

Logo: We pass through various segmented blue lines with a reflection of the sky seen on them. The camera speeds up and pans above and we can see a sphere crossing into the center while it does so. It all fades into a background of a spinning star with purple lights and various light particles shoot into us. We zoom into the star and the pieces of the Rede Vida logo join together as the star passes and disappears into view.

FX/SFX: The CGI, both having good parts and bad parts - that includes the sudden formation of the logo on the latter.

Music/Sounds: A rock fanfare (sounding like a show intro), and two whooshes after the beginning of the logo.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: None.

8th Logo (2004-2006)

Logo: We pass through the yellow "REDEVIDA" text on a blue room with another sphere seen above, from the front, then behind, and then above. The sphere then floats above the text and a ring of gas appears. Then another fade happens in which we see the Rede Vida star wiping in with various sparkles, as it settles into near-center and the text spins in below. The sparkles disappear.

FX/SFX: Everything's done with cheap CGI that makes the previous look better instead.

Music/Sounds: A majestic fanfare that sounds like the Australian Nine Network "Still The One" theme. This would later be used for future idents.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: Low.

9th Logo (2006-2008)
