Generic Logo: Just the ORF logo at the time (a pair of red ovals with white circles in them inside one another, heavily resembling the CBS Eyemark.) on a cream yellow background.

Variants:
 * A looping variant has the logos made into glass models, tinted with the signature colors of the desired channels, and are shown endlessly spinning back while zooming out and constantly gleaming with flares before fading back to the beginning.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: None, or sometimes a piece of music is used.

Availability: Extinct. Generally would be seen after programming, startups, and closedowns.

2nd Logo (1987-1992)
p0baH_sqXVg Generic Logo: On a black/grey gradient background, we see the top of 2 glass ovals, shining with blue/yellow/white highlights as they start to rotate, the bigger one counterclockwise and the smaller one clockwise, and they move and tilt away from the screen. The inner oval moves at a speed that's double compared to the outer oval's speed and there is also a reflection below them as well. As they zoom out and face the screen, the ovals stop until they are almost completely white as they fade to the ORF logo, along with the "ORF" wordmark in a outlined serif font as the reflection disappears.

FX/SFX: The pieces flying, the fading.

Music/Sounds: An orchestral piece is used for all 3 idents, although they vary.
 * The generic ORF ident uses a portion of Franz Schubert Symphony No. 5.

Availability: Extinct.

3rd Logo (1992-2000)
Logo: On a dark blue background, strange black and white shadows are projected onto the screen as they turn and morph about. The ORF Eye fades in along with the current ORF logo in red. The background then fades to black.

FX/SFX: The shadows, the fading. This is the work of Neville Brody and DMC Group.

Music/Sounds: An orchestral piece with twinkles and violins.

Availability: Extinct.
