The trail then disappears, and the logo turns solid being split into several horizontal pieces. This also makes the T, the V , and the 3. The text Helvetica in white then fades in below the logo.

ID: Against a space background, three sets of two parallel lines in, , and (from top to bottom) enter the screen one by one. The set zooms in further before splitting horizontally. A skyline view of Kuala Lumpur (at the time) then fades in. As we pass by the buildings, the complete TV3 logo zooms in, along with Rangkaian Sukaramai written in cursive with a curved line under it. A light flashes at the top left of the T, the left of the bottom of the V, the top right and the bottom right of the 3. This cycle is repeated for the rest of the ident.

Variants:
 * A slightly shorter variation of the long variant existed where the parallel lines fade out instead of splitting and leaving the screen.
 * An alternate and short variation existed where the parallel lines enter the screen together starting from different positions. Once that's done, the Kuala Lumpur view appears as the parallel lines leave the screen and the TV3 logo zooms in. The lines then enter the screen and stay for a few seconds before leaving again as Rangkaian Sukaramai zooms in and sets its position. The pattern of the light flashing is different, where it flashes at the top left of the T, the bottom of the V, and the top right of the 3.

Technique: Same as before.

Music/Sounds: Same as before, but with "Untuk Anda!" added to the lyrics and the music being extended.

Music/Sounds Variant: The extended variation used a slightly different arrangement.

Availability: Extinct, but the alternate variation is preserved on a recording of a December 6, 1988 report of Berita TV3 uploaded by the official Bulletin TV3 YouTube channel.

ID: We begin with a view of the sea as a glass structure of the TV3 logo rises. We then zoom into the logo before it is shown fully again. As the logo gets its three colors, the background turns into a space background, and the slogan from before Rangkaian Sukaramai flies in. The logo then faces toward us as we pass by the stars.

Later Variant: Starting from June 1, 1992, just before the TV3 logo faces toward the screen, Serif (Serif) and Serif (Serif) fly in as a line forms horizontally between them. The final product of the variant is like this: TV3

Serif --- Serif

Variants:
 * There are two known idents from the era commemorating the end of Ramadan in 1411 of the Lunar Islamic calendar:
 * April 1991: We pan to a window in a -white gradient room with copies of the TV3 logo on it. We zoom to the outside, where we pan by a mosque into a background, where we see pictures of a Jawi-like symbol, a table with two Qurans, and an Islamic rug, followed by footage of Muslims in a mosque, a family having food, and a close-up of the food usually eaten on Eid al-Fitr. As we pan by a picture of an unidentified picture and a window containing footage of fireworks being played, we see ketupat and Islamic-related pictures fall and a  star-shaped Islamic symbol fly up. Selamat Hari Raya in a Jawi-styled writing zooms in and settles at the top of the screen as Serif appears letter by letter at the center and the TV3 logo flies in and settles at the bottom as it shines.
 * March 1993: We pan from a yellow TV to a bird with colored feathers (presumably the mascot of the channel from the time) wearing clothing usually worn by Muslims on Eid al-Fitr, including a songkok. The footage zooms from us to settle on a detailed background above "Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri" in white, and a shape resembling the shape of an analog TV screen with the TV3 logo on it fades in below the text as the bird looks at us.
 * An ident commemorating the channel's 9th anniversary aired around June 1993. It features footage of multiple different programmes (Lightning Force, Mr. Bogus, Majalah Tiga, MacGyver, Pendekar, Seulas Pinang, and several more unspecified programmes) flying around on a background. 1984 and 1993 fly in from the top and bottom respectively. They squeeze themselves and turn into a giant Elephant. The programmes stop spawning and ULANGTAHUN KE appears at the center of the screen as the background darkens. A - kite flies in from the left to the center of the screen and settles behind the text, and the confetti stops falling. The parts of the TV3 logo fly in one by one at the bottom right of the kite.

Technique: 3D CGI produced in-house by the TV3 graphics department.

Music/Sounds: A synth tune that starts off as a calm rearrangement of the 1984 ident's music before evolving into a powerful one, followed by a group of women singing the channel's name.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * The 1991 Hari Raya variant uses a synth theme which ends with a short rendition of Selamat Hari Raya.

ID: Against a night sky background, we see a colorless, translucent pad resembling the shape of an analog TV screen fade in as we pan down to see a view of Kuala Lumpur from the time. Several, , and thick square-shaped light rays pass through the pad. Rays of light of the logo's colors pass through it twice before the Malaysian flag appears. The and  parts of the flag begin rising, before revealing that the flag had turned into the TV3 logo. As the logo settles its position and the pad rotates, BERITA TERKINI HIBURAN SENSASI from the previous ident flies in.

Variant: A special variant from 1995 existed where we see the bird with colored feathers on its head fly and land at the left of the screen. The bird yells and looks at us before making a quieter sound. As the bird looks at us, the following text fades in: Serif Serif TV3 Serif Serif In the English version of this variant, the text is translated and the slogan is removed: Serif Serif Serif TV3

ID: On a golden cloudy background, we see two texts reading the network's name. One of them is lowercase, outlined and is moving downwards starting from the left top of the screen. The other is uppercase, colored, duplicated, and is moving towards the left. Several texts of the company's name then appear by zooming out before fading away. The TV3 logo is then formed by moving lights as the clouds become darker. The logo glows and becomes more visible as the registered symbol fades in next to the top right of the logo. It then shrinks a bit and moves to the right as "Duniamu" appears at the top left one by one.

Variants:
 * An English variation existed where "Duniamu" is translated to "Your World".
 * A Deepavali variant from 2001 is known to have existed. The first shot features a water drop falling into the water, causing the latter to ripple. We then fade into a shot of an unidentified object (unidentified due to the only footage of the variant online being damaged) floating on the surface of water, followed by a hand taking a water plant (possibly a flower) out of the water. We then fade into a square zooming from us against a background with two leaves and presumably tiny flames in the background. As the square zooms from us to form a symbol of a water plant, "Selamat Hari" and "Deepavail" are revealed at the top and bottom of the square respectively. At the bottom, the TV3 logo with "Duniamu" next to the top left of the logo fades in.

Technique: 2D CGI. The 2001 Deepavali variant combines the technique of the main ident with live action stock footage.

Music/Sounds: First, we hear a choir accompanied by a xylophone tune. As the logo forms, conga sounds can be heard. After the logo becomes more visible, we hear two synthesized notes, with the first being the longest. At the end, we hear five chime notes.

Music/Sounds Variants: The 2001 Deepavali variant uses a calm, synthesized tune accompanied with conga sounds and some light sounds.
