Télé-Métropole

1st Logo (1966-1977)


Logo: On a black background, three vertical bars in the colors green, red and blue appear one-by-one from left ro right. As the last bar appears, The red bar places itself to the middle and morphs itself to a rounded square outline, while the green and blue bars are flipped horizontally until they’re inside the red box, with the green bar being above the blue bar. The 2 bars shrink by themselves until they form the green letter “T” at the top and the blue “M” at the bottom, which is against a white backdrop. As the formation finishes, the box shrinks to the top-left corner, as three curves in the colors blue, red and green appear from the right side and place themselves at the bottom of the screen and the other half of the curves fade in shortly after. This is then followed by a yellow bulging semi-circle with a white circle with 2 curved triangles sticking out and a horizontal red curve above itwiping in from bottom to top, revealing that the shapes form an abstract rooster crowing. It stays still for the last 5 seconds.
