RTM1 (1978-1990)

1st Logo (December 28, 1978-1983)
Logo: On a brown and background, we see the text SIARAN NASIONAL (NATIONAL BROADCAST) with the  RTM logo at the right under the text. Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: Just a woman saying "Inilah TV Malaysia, Siaran Nasional. (This is TV Malaysia, National Broadcasting.)"


 * This was used as a slide/telop ident for the channel.
 * It was also used for TV Malaysia Sabah during the start of the 1980's.

2nd Logo (1983-1985)
Logo: Against a space background, we see a mix of bright, yellow and white lights come from each side of the screen. They quickly cross each other in an X pattern before disappearing, revealing the outline of Malaysia in. Small white lights quickly trace around the country outline. Then the space in the country flashes and turns. A hollow circle grows in the center of the screen. From the left and right of the screen, two curved lines wrap around the circle. The outline of Malaysia disappears and what's left is the outline of what looks like an eye. Many yellow, teal,, blue and transparent squares fly into the pupil of the eye. Afterwards, a four pointed star flashes in the pupil. When that clears, the eye now has yellow and eyelids, a teal sclera and a blue pupil. The letters "Cooper" in a lowercase serif font fly in one by one, landing in the eye. The logo then zooms back and a light quickly dances around it. A big yellow "1" appears in a flash next to the eye. Underneath it all, the words "Serif" ("YOUR COMMUNICATION CHANNEL") slide in from the right.

Technique: Cel animation.

Music/Sounds: A disco tune.

3rd Logo (1985-December 26, 1987)
Logo: A bright sparkler flashes next to a crescent moon on a background. The sparkle reveals a star. The moon and star zoom out to reveal that it's part of a computer generated Malaysian flag. The flag tilts back and then begins to spin around rapidly. As it spins, a circle fades in. The flag disappears into the circle. The circle then glows. The letters "Cooper" in chrome/white flip in from the bottom and rest on the circle. Teal curves dissolve in around the circle. On the top and bottom of this logo, two flashes going in opposite directions draw the yellow/ part of the main RTM logo. A white "1" flashes inside the eye, and the text shines.

Technique: Passable CGI for its time.

Music/Sounds: A bouncy synth tune, based on the Malayan folk song, Dondang Sayang.

4th Logo (December 27, 1987-February 1, 1990)
Logo: Against a space background with stars, a glass sphere with a missing quarter flies in. A half-outlined circle appears as the missing quarter turns into a piece of paper, folding into a full circle, with a curved outline appearing halfway before the full circle is formed. A outlined curved square with a hole in the middle zooms out as four white horizontal lines appear inside the circle. The insides of the curved square turn, and the horizontal rectangle hole turns , creating a full curved square. An line then appears from the middle, followed by the Cooper text zooming in. A Cooper then appears next to the text and below the line.

Technique: 2D CGI. Some of the motion graphical effects (such as the space background) are taken from Cascom, an American motion graphics company.

Music/Sounds: A synth tune.
