Télé 2

Background
Name used by the current TV station La Deux during 1979-1988.

1st Logo (1977-1984)
Nicknames: "Sun of Doubles", "Dark Side of RTBF1", "The Open University's Belgian Brother II"

Logo: On a black background, a bold rectangular border appears, colored in blue (above), red (on the sides) and green (below), and with a white dot inside it, zooms in. The border then gets out of view as we can only see the dot. The dot then stops moving as it's seen near the bottom of the screen. The shape of the RTBF emblem from the time then draws in around it. It fills in blue, and the outline disappears. The logo then flips to the right, causing itself to appear like a straight line during the course of a background color change to blue, as the line turns black. The logo then flips into normal view. It's now shown with a black color and the circle inside it is transparent. Then, various "2" numbers appear clockwise inside the transparent circle. The result of this causes the 2's to be shown like a figure of the sun. The logo then zooms back as it moves a bit to the left. Then the other 2's disappear, causing the first one to zoom in as the transparent circle fills in white, and the 2 itself places at the right of the logo, as the white word "TELE" appears letter-by-letter above the number.

FX/SFX: All the 2D animation. Although the animation is a bit better than the RTBF1 ident, it's cheaper than it's parent one.

Music/Sounds: A dreamy synth theme. A vocoder then sings the channel's name.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: The darkness, eyesore designs of the 2's and the emblem, dated synths, and half-minute length makes this about as ominous as the RTBF1 ident, but it's all mostly harmless.

2nd logo (1985-1987)
Logo: We see a 2 in red, yellow and blue stripes. with below the Télé 2 byine. The byline then disappears and we zoom in on the 2, after which the different lines shorten until there's nothing left.

FX/SFX: The 2 and byline disappearing.

Music/Sounds: A horn synth fanfare.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: The darkness, eyesore design of the 2 and the dated synth may be an issue, though less so than with the previous logo.
