Deutscher Fernsehfunk 1

Background
Deutscher Fernsehfunk (DFF, "German Television Broadcasting"; 1952-1972, 1990) or Fernsehen der DDR ("Television of the GDR", 1972-1990) was the state television broadcaster in the German Democratic Republic (GDR or East Germany). The first test broadcasts started in 1950, and regular broadcasts were launched in December 12th 1952, although they were still described as test broadcasts until January 3rd 1956. A second channel was launched in October 3rd 1969, alongside with SECAM colour television. While DFF still existed sometime after the end of the GDR, it was properly dissolved in December 31st 1991, and its frequencies were reused by ARD and its affiliates.

Logo (1952-1972)
Nicknames: Brandenburg Gate

Logo: In a (mostly black) background, we see a white silhouette of the Brandenburg Gate with a small East German flag above it, and a ovaled text saying "Deutscher Fernsehfunk DDR"

Variants: There's a variant with a white background and an animation of a cartoonish man paiting the logo. For the clock variant, there's a clock instead of the Brandenburg Gate and the small DDR flag. With the introduction of the second channel, the Roman number "I" was added to the ovaled text, and the clock design was changed.

FX/SFX: Probably none for main version. Cel animation for the 1960s animated ID described below.
