1st Logo (2004-2005)
Logo: See Variants.

Variants: Unknown
 * Butterfly: On a white background, we see a closeup of a mechanical butterfly's wing. We then see clips of the butterfly forming from the beginning. We then see another set of clips of the mechanical butterfly turning into a realistic-looking blue butterfly. It then proceeds to fly to the left side of the screen. We then see the butterfly flying yet again, only much further. As it goes offscreen, the text "Hope for life" fades in, along with the network's name, and later its logo, an abstract Kufic-like "الشرقية", with the top dot on one of its letters.

Technique: Depending on the variant. All animated using CGI, made by Etana Production.

Music/Sounds: Depending on the variant.

Availability: Extinct. Used as a station ID.

Legacy: Those look well-made, particularly for its time.
