TVN

Background:
TVN (Television Nacional de Chile) is a Chilean national television network, founded in 1969 by Eduardo Frei Montalva to help establish a public service for the entire country, rather than the various college-ran channels like UCV, Canal 13, and Canal 9. It was also the first to provide color television (in 1978), satellite broadcasting, and national coverage.

1st Logo (1969-1982)
nAA7-T0tkQA&feature=emb_title Nicknames: "The Chile TV"

Logo:
 * 1969-1978: On a black background, the TVN logo is seen near the top, consisting of a tri-banded tube shape (colored light grey, white, and grey going in) with a white inside, and a angular "TV" in black and dark grey with "CHILE" in a black, heavily modified Eurostile font on top of the letters. The shape they have also give the appearance of an "N". Below it, the tall white text "desde arica hasta tierra del fuego" (from Arica to Tierra def Fuego) is seen below in 2 lines.
 * 1978-1982: On a grey background, the logo quickly forms up while being shown in 3D, tilting until if faces the screen head-on. The logo is now colorized, with the tube colored blue, white, and red, as well as the logo colored in blue and red. The logo then zooms out, making room for "Television Nacional de Chile" to type in below in a blue Helvetica font.

FX/SFX:
 * 1969-1978: None.
 * 1978-1982: The logo forming, the text appearing.

Music/Sounds:
 * 1969-1978: A twenty-seven note choral fanfare (broken into sections of three, one with female chorus, one with male chorus, and then one with both chorus).
 * 1978-1982: None.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: The slogan references the fact that it had national coverage from the top to bottom of Chile. The logo is also fondly remembered by those who grew up during the time period.

2nd Logo (1980-1984)
QxTWhmtCrwI&feature=emb_title 4rP4z_9DWb4&feature=emb_title IRVCzK1LtkA&feature=emb_title mo-6OmyJUPo&feature=emb_title pCbIQs1DbOo&feature=emb_title Nicknames: "The Chile TV II", "Scanimate TV", "Patriotic Screens"

Logo: While the design remains the same, several different animations were used throughout its life.
 * On a space background, a batch of black clouds are seen surrounded with a hazy pink aura in the bottom left corner. The corner then glows orange to reveal a black object, possibly to represent the Earth at sunrise, as a black silhouette with a blue glow flies in from the right. As it slows down, a red beam of light comes down and strikes the object, causing it to reveal itself as a silver, 3D version of the TVN logo as the beam flies towards the camera, now colored in a patriotic triband. The logo then fades back to being a silhouette as the glow changes to red.
 * On a dark blue background with white sparks flying out of the center, the TVN logo is seen in the center, starting off small before slowly zooming into a readable size. As it zooms in, the background becomes divided down the middle with a hazy purple line glowing, along with a white light spot behind the logo.
 * On a lavender background, a rotating globe of the Earth with blue oceans and pale yellow land zooms in, created with Scanimation effects. A picture of Chile's landmass in blue, followed by their territory on Antarctica in red, zoom in from the globe as it disappears. White lights then start blinking all over Chile, representing the transmitters it broadcasted from, and after a few seconds, "CHILE" from the TVN logo then sweep in and fly into place one-by-one from its country. Next, the lights all over Chile disappear and both landmasses morph into the "TV" of the logo, which is overtaken by a bright white/orange flash. It then reveals the logo in silver, with the tri-color border zooming out to surround it, on a dark blue/purple gradient background that's cleanly cut just below center. The logo then shines. This came after a series of different clips of local Chilean workers.

Variants:
 * The silver logo ident has an alternate variant with slightly different animation. The logo, which quickly fades into full color, comes in faster and the beam instead causes the logo to shoot a orange trail of outlines out. The clouds also start off with a blue glow before fading to pink.
 * The "space" logo has an alternate version where the line and glow are already present and are actually larger, and the logo is a 3D version that's tilted to the right.
 * A few promo variants have the logo tilted onto its bottom in 3D, zooming over stock animation footage. It could be either in silver or full-color.
 * A few more variants have the logo flying around in a blue Scanimate mess, complete with trails of itself.
 * An odd variant has the logo shrunken down and colored white to blend in with a transmission tower while over a sunset background. 2 transmission beams converge and home onto the logo, in which they disappear. A phaser sound also plays with the logo

FX/SFX: Depends on the logo variant, but its computer effects and Scanimation.

Music/Sounds: Depends on the logo type:
 * "Silver Tube": A proud 3-note fanfare that plays after a held note.
 * "Space Tube": A buzz that's followed up by a traditional flute and guitar tune with an announcer.
 * "Punto de Encuentro": A upbeat synth song with an announcer saying "Televisión Nacional…. Punto de encuentro… de todos los Chilenos."

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: These are also fondly remembered, considering they were one of the few uses of Scanimation in Latin America at the time.

3rd Logo (1984-1986)
_oViDRv9tnU&feature=emb_title 7YJ3KcdijyI&feature=emb_title MYnJejIK500&feature=emb_title Nicknames: "Patriotic Ribbon", "Ribbon N", "Space Ribbon"

Logo: Like the previous logo, different animations were used around this time:
 * On a black background, a orange planet is seen in the lower right corner with a orange aura to it. A white moon emerges from behind the planet and then zooms towards the bottom, while an abstract "N" made from 2 ribbons, one red and one blue, then flies out from the left of it before boomeranging back to the top left part of the screen. As it stops, the "Television Nacional de Chile" name in white fades in below it, or when in later uses, fly in and tilt upwards into place.
 * On a black background with little "stars", the black section zooms out and rotates around a few times, revealing the background is actually a dark blue. As the screen disappears into the background, it then flashes blue and then zooms right back in, this time larger and at a flatter angle, of which the TVN logo at the time draws in above it. No text can be seen around it.
 * On a black background, a glowing white line draws itself on-screen that is followed by a red ribbon. It then cuts to a blue ribbon forming from bottom right to top center, and then cuts to them coming towards and converging with each other in front of a dark planet-like object. The camera then cuts between several different shots of the ribbons bending and forming around the planet. When it cuts to a full shot, the ribbons are actually forming a large star shape around the blue planet, and then the ribbons connect together at the bottom, causing the points to flash and the logo to flash in below. Uniquely, the "N" has a white ribbon in-between it.

FX/SFX: Mostly early computer graphics and some hand-drawn animation.

Music/Sounds: Depends on the logo animation, though all 3 have an announcer.
 * "Orbit": A rising synth drone plays at first, which is followed by a ominous series of synth beats and beeping.
 * "Screen": A soft, yet proud synth fanfare.
 * "Star": A flute tune that plays with a synth backing, ending with a string beat.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: A sudden departure from the previous logo, the somewhat more ominous atmosphere of the idents may surprise some.
