Polsat

Background
Polsat (formerly called Pol Sat) is a commercial television channel in Poland, which was the first in the country received a license to broadcast nationwide. Broadcasting began on Dec. 5 of 1992. Currently, the channel is owned by Grupa Polsat Plus (after merging with the Polish telecommunications company, Plus) and it's the 2nd most watched channel in the country, between TVP1 and TVN.

1st Logo (December 1-2nd/December 5th, 1992-1994)


Logo: On a starfield with blue nebulas and zooming patches of stars, a large planetoid rises up in the lower right corner, covered in a white blot of light along with a dark patch of blue and red spots. As it rotates and stops rising, the edge of the planet glows white rather brightly, causing the planet to darken until it completely disappears, leaving the horizon as a white ribbon of light and the starfield stops moving. It then morphs and moves to the top of the screen, just off-center as the glow dissipates into a pair of blue ribbons, contorted into a "S" shape. It rotates around counterclockwise once and then "POL" in a blue, elongated NFL Steelers font zooms out and places itself at a diagonal angle below the logo. "SAT", in a cyan, normal NFL Steelers font, fades in and then the "T" spawns a bright ping, causing the screen to briefly flash white.

Variants:
 * For closedowns, the logo plays in reverse and as the "S" logo morphs back into the horizon, the text "See you tonight" and "bye, bye" appear in white in the top left and bottom right corners of the screen respectively. The logo fades out as the globe sinks out of frame.
 * For the break bumpers, the ribbon shape is seen in the middle of the screen, remaining stationary as a duplicate rotates around once (which, for some reason, has an animation error where it stops earlier after the music changes) as the silver text "REKLAMA" fades in, which also has hints of a multi-colored shimmer around the edges. The end of the break bumper either plays the bumper again normally or in reverse.
 * Before launch, the logo was shown in the background as technical and legal information scrolled up in front of it. Compared to the used version, the logo had a 2D look, the "S" was blue with a cyan gradient going down the middle, and the "L" was conjoined to the logo.

FX/SFX: The planet, the logo forming, the rotating.

Music/Sounds: A ominous-sounding sounder plays at first, followed by a dramatic orchestral fanfare. Later on, this was remixed with added grunge backup tracks and a whoosh at the end. The break-bumpers use a truncated version of either the end of the theme (early 1992) or a different ominous sounder (1992-1994).

Availability: Extinct.

Legacy: A rather bland logo to say the least, though the dark look of it and the sudden orchestral fanfare may surprise a few.

2nd Logo (1994)


Logo: On a much plainer space background, a golden TV satellite, with black solar panels and white dishes, comes in from the right and the camera comes up close to it, rotating around to the back as it does. As the camera moves over it, a pink-colored marble slab moves down and then the dark blue text "POLSAT" lined with gold, then appears and twirls around to the plate, resting on it as the camera settles into a tilted angle. It also has a glossy look to it.

FX/SFX: The camera moving, the logo forming. There was also a closedown variant which had the logo reversed.

Music/Sounds: Either an different ominous synth tune ending with a high-pitched 7-note synth tune, or an Arabic-esque theme.

Availability: Extinct.

Legacy: This was possibly a placeholder for the next logo, considering its uninteresting design and short lifespan. The music also doesn't fit the logos in question.

3rd Logo (A) (1994-1996)


Logo: On a blue background consisting of several light and dark hues moving around, a golden abstract sun symbol zooms in, lined with 24 somewhat wavy triangles, and then shows 6 dark shapes appear on its reflective surface. The sun then zooms in and rotates down towards the bottom of the screen as the 6 objects reveal themselves to be "POLSAT" in a golden Futura Extra Black font, as they zoom back and settle into the middle. A large pillar of light appears and fans out before disappearing, leaving the word and background to continue shining for a while longer.

Variants:
 * An extended variant has the logo just hang on the final product for several more seconds.
 * There exists a version without the light fan.
 * Special Christmas variants were made as well.
 * 1994-1995: The "POLSAT" text on a pile of various baubles, which shine after a second-long freezeframe.
 * 1995-1996: A trio of red, green, and yellow baubles appear on a background made of various blue, cyan, and lavender gradient bars that slowly rotate around. In the reflection of the baubles, "POLSAT" scrolls by on them.

FX/SFX: The sun zooming in and tilting, the word zooming out.

Music/Sounds: A somewhat somber-sounding piano tune, occasionally with soft wind noises and repeats twice on the extended variant. The Christmas idents either have the short version (1994) or a generic bell tune (1995).

Availibility: Extinct.

Legacy: A step up from before and a rather classic logo for those who grew up with this.
