Slovenská Televízia

Background
Slovenská Televízia (Slovak Television in English) was the public broadcaster of Slovakia, originally founded on July 1st, 1991 as a regional establishment, but officially established on January 1, 1993, the same day when Czechoslovakia split into their former countries. It operated 2 channels, as well as a 3rd established in 2008. However, various troubles caused it to quickly drop in favor for the more profitable (and creditable) commercial broadcasters. However in 2003, Richard Rybníček, founder of TV JOJ, was hired and reworked the entire service to make it more competitive for it's commercial rivals. This worked at first, but eventually the resignation of Rybníček caused the broadcaster to plummet into crisis, accumilating in the forced merger between it's radio company, Slovenský rozhlas (Slovak Radio), to form Rozhlas a televízia Slovenska (Radio and Television of Slovakia) in 2011, but the name still remained on screen until the relaunch of them on June 30, 2011. Trojka would also be shut down that day due to budget troubles, though it would relaunch with a different focus on December 23, 2019.

1st Logo (January-October? 1992)
Logo: On a musty yellow/black gradient background, the conjoined letters "STV" slowly appear by inverting the colors on it. The colors then fade to a dark blue/white gradient, and a white drop shadow appears a few seconds later. The blue/white gradient then fades to a hot pink/flamingo pink gradient.

Variants:
 * A still slide of the logo can be seen before in-community announcements.
 * For closedowns, the logo may have reversed animation, but no footage of this exists.

Accompanying clock ident: The logo is seen, albeit without the drop shadow, inside a white rectangle outline on a light brown background, with a black drop shadow. A digital clock with white numbers with black outlines is seen below.

FX/SFX: The color fades.

Music/Sounds: A lush chime soundtrack accompanied by a harmonious synth piano tune.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: Pretty basic, but goon enough for a small station.

2nd Logo (October?-December 1992)
Logo: On a black background, a mass of silver polygons comes in from the left side of the screen, swirling around to the left as a blue gradient background slowly fades in. The polygon ball eventually comes to the screen, scanning over it before swerving to the middle and rotating around to form the same "STV" from before, but in silver with visible bevel edges. A spotlight shines across the logo.

Variants:
 * Much like before, a still slide of the logo can be seen before in-community announcements.
 * For closedowns, the logo has reversed animation, which ironically is the reversed situation compared to the first logo (footage of this exists, but no opening version yet)

Accompanying clock ident: The clock is now an chroma-keyed analog clock, having bars for the hours and bolder ones for the cardinal hours, with the same background as the logo, which is in the top right corner.

FX/SFX: The swirling triangles forming the logo.

Music/Sounds: A calming synth piano tune with some orchestral beats.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: A definitive improvement from before, but is basically wasted due to the soon-to-occur split of the 2 countries.

3rd Logo (January 1, 1993-1996)
Logo: In a black room with a illuminated grey floor, a red/blue/yellow gradient ball rolls onto the floor. It bounces with the opposite wall, causing it to rebound to the other wall at a slower speed, as well as unleashing a blue right triangle. It bounces with the left wall, and then the triangle, revealing a thin yellow rectangle. The ball then stops in place, but still rolling, as "STV" in a conjoined font resembling the previous logo, but thinner and a separate "TV" fly in from the darkness and drop down onto the shapes, merging with them. The logo then rotates upwards as it starts becoming a flat shape, turning the sphere red and revealing the S, forming the logo.

Accompanying clock ident: Same as before, but the background differs, usually a grey gradient background. Starting in mid 1996, the background was changed to a light blue background with rotating "STV" letters, obviously for the next logo's design package.

FX/SFX: The shapes emerging, the text flying up.

Music/Sounds: A woodwind melody that is repeated twice, with differences in each play, while various other instruments play in the background.

Availability: Extinct. It was only used sporadically during its lifetime.

Editor's Note: None.
