TVB

1st Logo (1979-1980)


Logo: Not really a logo, just a scrolling credits with the Chinese company name in white, and the 4 Chinese characters in plain white, which means "A Presentation of Television Broadcasts Limited".

FX/SFX: The scrolling credits.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme to the show.

Availability: Very rare. This was used tandem with the next logo during the years. Example for the TVB series to use the no logo was The God of Sabre, which can be found on YueSP and TVB Anywhere.

Editor's Note: This plain logo was alright to be seems boring than the other logos, but this is a choppy in-credit logo.

2nd Logo (1981- )
Logo: Superimposed over the scrolling credits, we see the TVB print logo, either yellow, blue, green or fluorescent green. The Chinese text and the copyright stamp appears below the scrolling credits.

Variants:
 * Early 70s variant has the white logo and the plain Chinese characters and copyright stamp on a blue or black background.
 * Usually, there are 2 variants:
 * This variant is used for the 1990-1991 TVB programmes, sometimes there is a English text below.
 * Sometimes, there is no English text.
 * The position of the logo may vary.
 * An 1981 or 1982 variant has a logo and stamp in a down position.
 * There is a 1990 variant with a drop shadow in black.
 * There is a early variant used from 1973 to 1980 where the TVB logo is omitted from the in-credit, and the Chinese text and copyright stamp maybe appear below the superimposed scenes.
 * Sometimes there is a English name added on the top of Chinese characters.
 * There is a another variant with the headphones icon and the Chinese characters translates to "In Stereo".
 * On 过客, the Chinese text is in a different font, and the position of the logo is different.
 * The later variant has the URL website, www.tvb.com (from 2000 to present) or www.tvb.com.hk (from 1998 to 1999). Sometimes (on the early version) has the full English company name on the top.
 * Current variant has the TVB logo on the left or right, with Chinese characters and English name in drop shadow, with the URL website, www.tvb.com, on the left or right, depends on the position.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the show.

Availability: Very common. Was seen on some TVB Jade shows and drama episodes of the period, as well as a other TVB Jade local programming of the time, which programming are long gone. You can find some of these TVB dramas either Youku or other streaming sites, as well as a third-party Chinese online websites, thanks to the YueSP.com and TVB Anywhere. The English version is seen on The Twilight Tube and it make surprise on the appearance of the 2017 series My Dearly Sinful Mind.

Editor's Note: None.

3rd Logo (2009?)
Logo: On a dark blue background with some smokes, we see a Shaw Brothers and TVB logo in CGI, which turns to see the logo. The words "A Shaw & TVB production" in a Arial font fades in below.

FX/SFX: Awesome CGI.

Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the music, with some whooshes and cello sounder.

Availability: Long extinct. It's found on the movie I Love Hong Kong, the 2011 HK film between the Shaw Brothers and TVB Motion Pictures, and the movie to use the film was From Vegas to Macau which is found on a said trailer of the theatrical releases, plastering with the Bona Film Group logo.

Editor's Note: None.

4th Logo (2009-2018?)
Logo: On a purple gradient background, we see a glowing, fluorescent colored pieces of lights from the TVB logo zooming out in medium speed, then a colored lines moves in a warp speed, and then moves backwards, it then forms a TVB logo on a purple gradient background, with a floor and a wall on the background, which then zooms out. The words "TVB" in a corporate TVB font fades in below underneath.

FX/SFX: The light, the forming of the TVB logo and then a zooming out. Fantastic animation.

Music/Sounds: There are 3 music versions, we hear a disco-sounding fanfare, with the whooshes are heard on the logo, with a chord on the theme. The 2nd music, used a organ and 4 cello notes, then a rearranged whooshes from the original jingle is heard during the forming the logo, and a 1-note sounder held at the end. The 3rd version use a rearranged version of the 2nd fanfare.
