Trinity Broadcasting Network

1st Logo (1982-1992)
l6ipMY9nMJc Logo: On a black starry sky background, the camera zooms out between two dark periwinkle planks, which then flip up to reveal a cross. A white dove then flies on the top of the cross, leaving a yellow trail, and the red text "TBN" zooms out at the bottom of the cross, leaving a silver trail as it does so. The logo sparkles three times, then slowly zooms in.

FX/SFX: TBA

Music/Sounds: A few whooshes, then a 3-note synth chime theme synced to the sparkles appearing. An announcer says "This is the Trinity Broadcasting Network."

Music/Sounds Variants: TBA

Availability: Extinct. Was seen on TBN programs of the time, such as The Candi Staton Show. Also served as a station ID.

Editor's Note: TBA

2nd Logo (1980s-)
Logo: Superimposed on footage of a waving US flag, we see the following text:

This Program Has Been Sponsored By TRINITY BROADCASTING NETWORK

with a copyright stamp underneath.

Variants: THIS HAS BEEN A TRINITY BROADCASTING NETWORK PRESENTATION
 * In early years, the text would say:


 * From 1991 onward, the text would be in Times font.
 * Starting in 1993, the flag is transparent, and the Statue of Liberty can be seen on either the right (1993-2010) or the left (2010-).

FX/SFX: Just the waving flag.

Music/Sounds: TBA

Availability: Seen on Praise the Lord.

3rd Logo (1992-April 28, 2013)
Logo: In a grey background with constantly spinning lights, we see a light brown disk with tan continents rotating. A silver bird shape settles on top, making the disk send out circular signals. A blue-outlined shield with a gold and violet banner reading "TBN" and a violet crown over it zooms out, surrounding the disk. A silver and gold banner with the words "Trinity Broadcasting Network" and two golden lion supporters also appear as the disk turns into a cross. The lights continue to spin.

Variant: At the beginning of Praise the Lord, the logo is played backward.

Closing Variant: At the end of Praise the Lord, the logo is almost still, except for the shining. The previous logo then follows this.

FX/SFX: The lights, disk, and shield parts coming together. The closing variant has just the shining.

Music/Sounds: A crystal chime, then a whoosh, which is punctuated by an ascending flute flourish that changes into a heavenly orchestral theme. An announcer (Efrem Zimbalist, Jr.) then says "This is the Trinity Broadcasting Network".

Availability: Extinct again, but it is currently phased out.

6th Logo (2010-)
Logo: After the opening for Praise the Lord finishes, a yellow streak of light suddenly appears and flashes into us, changing the screen to a shot of the TBN emblem made from glass, zooming out to a comfortable position on a cloud background. The emblem flashes, as two more light streaks, appear from it and flies into the screen.

FX/SFX: Brilliant CGI.

Music/Sounds: The opening theme.

Availability: Seen on Praise the Lord from 2010 onward.

Editor's Note: None.
