2nd Logo (1983-1985)
Logo: Against a space background, we see a mix of bright, yellow and white lights come from each side of the screen. They quickly cross each other in an X pattern before disappearing, revealing the outline of Malaysia in. Small white lights quickly trace around the country outline. Then the space in the country flashes and turns. A hollow circle grows in the center of the screen. From the left and right of the screen, two curved lines wrap around the circle. The outline of Malaysia disappears and what's left is the outline of what looks like an eye. Many yellow, teal,, blue and transparent squares fly into the pupil of the eye. Afterwards, a four pointed star flashes in the pupil. When that clears, the eye now has yellow and eyelids, a teal sclera and a blue pupil. The letters "Cooper" in a lowercase serif font fly in one by one, landing in the eye. The logo then zooms back and a light quickly dances around it. A big yellow "1" appears in a flash next to the eye. Underneath it all, the words "Serif" ("YOUR COMMUNICATION CHANNEL") slide in from the right.

Technique: Everything, which looks hand animated and rough. It's a very fast paced logo.

Music/Sounds: A disco tune.

3rd Logo (1985-December 26, 1987)
Logo: A bright sparkler flashes next to a crescent moon on a background. The sparkle reveals a star. The moon and star zoom out to reveal that it's part of a computer generated Malaysian flag. The flag tilts back and then begins to spin around rapidly. As it spins, a circle fades in. The flag disappears into the circle. The circle then glows. The letters "Cooper" in chrome/white flip in from the bottom and rest on the circle. Teal curves dissolve in around the circle. On the top and bottom of this logo, two flashes going in opposite directions draw the yellow/ part of the main RTM logo. A white "1" flashes inside the eye, and the text shines.

Technique: Passable CGI for its time.

4th Logo (December 27, 1987-February 1, 1990)
Logo: Against a space background with stars, a glass sphere with a missing quarter flies in. A half-outlined circle appears as the missing quarter turns into a piece of paper, folding into a full circle, with a curved outline appearing halfway before the full circle is formed. A outlined curved square with a hole in the middle zooms out as four white horizontal lines appear inside the circle. The insides of the curved square turn, and the horizontal rectangle hole turns , creating a full curved square. An line then appears from the middle, followed by the Cooper text zooming in. A Cooper then appears next to the text and below the line.

We then zoom in further into the rainbow, which zooms out and fades away, leaving just the sky. Another white light appears and disappears by hitting a glass TV1 logo, which moves to the center of the screen. Serif appears below, and the logo shines, along with the bottom text.

Shortly after the logo sets its position at the upper center, the square stops spinning, and the channel's slogan, Impact, fades in below before light goes through it.

Logo: Against a grey background with a light at the center, we see a "1" in front of the background. Ten square-thorns in different colors from to  then enter the screen and surround the 1. After the objects present in the logo do a full rotation, they zoom out as the 1 disappears. The square-thorns then duplicate to form a helix and zoom toward the screen before leaving. As the light in the background flashes, the 1 reappears. After the tip of the 1 hits the screen, it turns with a black gradient and sets its position as "tv" appears at the left side of the 1. The tv1 logo then does a full rotation before a flash appears at the top right of the 1 as the background gets a bit brighter.

Trivia: The square-thorns in this logo are based on the windows for the Angkasapuri building, which had been the headquarters of Radio Televisyen Malaysia since 1968.
