Televisora de Oriente

Background
Televisora de Oriente, or TVO, is a Venezuelan private television channel founded in 1992. The station is headquartered in Puerto La Cruz and the signal can be mainly seen in the Venezuelan states of Anzoátegui, Monagas, Nueva Esparta, and Sucre.

1st Logo (1990s)


Logo: Underwater, we see a bunch of blue-colored dolphins swimming. The camera pans up to reveal a segmented crystal pillar, in which a blue-purplish TV tube zooms out along with the text "Televisora de Oriente" in a handwritten font appearing by a light. Beneath the logo and pillar there's a blue sky with a large rainbow.

Technique: The animation of the water, dolphins, and elements of the logo emerging.

Audio: Unknown.

Availability: It was found on a CGI demo of the 1990s showcasing a few Venezuelan motion logos. It is unsure if this was used by the station or not.
