TV One

Background
TV One was launched on June 1, 1960 as NZBC TV, and would later change its name on April 1, 1975. It was independent until it and TV 2 merged under Television New Zealand on February 15, 1980. It's not to be confused with the current U.S. African-American network TV One jointly owned by Comcast Corporation and Radio One, Inc.

1st Logo (April 1, 1975-1985)
Logo: On a black background, parts of an odd-looking shape (with a white outline and a trail) spin around and zoom out. When the shape stops spinning, a streak rises up then curves around the top part of the shape, followed by an  streak, then, , , , and finally a rainbow streak. When the rainbow streak stops, the shape splits up to reveal the words "one" in a curvy font (very similar to Alba), which appears in an outline first, but then white streaks wipe in around the letters and fill them. Then we fade out.

FX/SFX: The logo spinning around, the colors wiping in, the letters splitting.

Then the camera pans over New Zealand as pictures of various major cities of New Zealand (Dunedin, Christchurch, Wellington, and Auckland) from the land and float past the camera. After this, the camera pans to the sky as the glass rectangle returns to the center of the screen.
