Television Corporation of Singapore

Logo descriptions by SnowflakesOmega and rj4712

Background: Television Corporation of Singapore was the public TV broadcaster of Singapore during 1994 to 2001. In 1999 the company was acquired by the newly-formed MediaCorp and consequently morphed into the company's own TV sub-branch 2 years after.

1st Logo (1990s-????)

Logo: We see aquamarine liquid flowing through the screen, with shadows of the three letters "tcs" moving around. Three shadows of the respective letters then meet on the top half of the screen, in a form where the "t" is at the left, and the "s" is surrounded by the "c". The background darkens as the three letters lighten up with colors (with the "t" light blue, the "c" red and the "s" green), and the byline "TELEVISION CORPORATION OF SINGAPORE" fades in below.

FX/SFX: The liquid and the shadows, which must be a live-action/CGI fusion technique.

Music/Sounds: A droning synth theme which slowly evolves into a down-tempo beat, ending with a 3-note resonant synth.

Availability: Probably extinct, but might also appear occasionally on Singaporean TV works from the time.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (2000-2001)

Logo: Two lights (blue and red) flash in on a black background and morph into part of the corporate letters "t" and "c", which spin into view while the remaining "s" character in green zooms in. The company name blurs in next to the logo, with the byline "ALL RIGHTS RESERVED" and the website appearing below. So far, only English and Chinese language versions of the logo are known to exist.

FX/SFX: Simple CGI.

Music/Sounds: A breathy synth bell ambient score. On most cases, it used the closing theme of the show.

Availability: Was used on TV shows from the early 2000s before the company's transition into MediaCorp. The logo appears with music on Crimewatch 2000.

Editor's Note: None.
