RCN Televisión

Logo descriptions by SnowflakesOmega

Background:RCN Television(acronym of Radio Cadena Nacional) is a private TV channel and production company, the second largest tv chanel in colombia. RCN started out as a "programadora" (Colombian television production & distribution company) in 1967. The company then became a network by adquiring one of the two licenses from the Colombian government (the other being Caracol Television). The company is also known for making Yo soy betty, la fea, one of the most popular telenovelas from Latin America and one of the few to be adapted as an US television show.

1st Logo (1979-1986)

Logo: We zoom out from blue/yellow lines, as a metallic sphere moves in at the left. The lines are revealed on the sphere, resulting to be a figure of a lightning bolt with the colors of the Colombian flag. The figure of the lightning bolt then places itself in front of the sphere as the camera rotates and places. "RCN", stylized like before, shoots in and places next to the figure.

Variants: From 1988 to 1991, the metallic sphere fades out when the word shoots in. A variant of the same version exists, but with "RCN" in 3D. From 1991 to 1998, the metallic sphere doesn't fade out, resulting in a freeze frame, the "RCN" is seen with a different 3D style and "TELEVISION" (with a shadow behind) fades in below "RCN". FX/SFX: Everything.

Music/Sounds: An upbeat synthesized theme with a zap sound at the beginning, and the announcer. The logo's last years used a different synth theme. Availability: Extinct. Was seen on various Colombian productions and distributed shows on Canal Uno and Canal A at the time.

Editor's Note: None.
