Background

 * TV Cidade Fortaleza (owned by Grupo Cidade) is a television station serving the Fortaleza metro region of Ceara, Brazil. In its history it was affiliated by national networks including Rede Bandeirantes and SBT. Currently it is being owned by Rede Record.

1st Logo (1978-1981)
Logo: We see the Bandeirantes logo from the time above the text "TV URAIPURU - CANAL 8" and "A NOVA IMAGEM DO CEARA" shown below.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: Probably the same as the Bandeirantes logo from the time.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (1981-1987)
Logo: TBA

FX/SFX: TBA

Music/Sounds: Probably the same as the Bandeirantes logo from the time.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: None.

3rd Logo (1987-1988)
Logo: On a grey gradient background, a group of red spheres fly into the center of the screen and group together as a square. The diagonal silver text "ANO DO 8" slides itself in front of those spheres, before a blue sphere containing a "C" crashes into them and bounces, filling up most of the screen and moving back to the upper side as a frame containing a video of Fortaleza's skyline is shown next to it and the slogan "A Cidade e sua!" below.

Variant: A shorter ident shows a picture of the TV station's antenna while the spherical logo jumps into the screen.

FX/SFX: 2D computer animation.

Music/Sounds: TBA

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: None.

4th Logo (1988-1989)
Logo: On a background of stacked silver lines, the spherical logo from before appears in a three-dimensional design as it flies and spins into the upper side of the screen. The white texts "TV CIDADE - CANAL 8" and "FORTALEZA-CE" then slide in below.

FX/SFX: Simple 3D CGI.

Music/Sounds: TBA, then a whoosh and an announcer.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: None.

5th Logo (1989-1992)
Logo: The logo starts with a picture of a sunset, before the transparent text "TV CIDADE" appears and scrolls to the left and a blue sphere grouped by a floating "C" in front of it appears from the ocean and rotates around before flying near the center of the screen. The text "CANAL 8" then flies around and disappears, and the slogan "A CIDADE E SUA" slides into the sun. Once the spherical logo settles in, the text "TV CIDADE" and "CANAL 8 - FORTALEZA" moves from behind the logo to below it.

Variant: A longer version of this logo exists.

FX/SFX: Simple 3D CGI.

Music/Sounds: TBA

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: None.

6th Logo (1992-1996)
Logo: The camera pans through a blue CGI city street while a blue sphere moves straight. The sphere then flies into a yellow-colored sky, while a red car drives in below while the camera pans up and a "C" zooms out forming the logo. A cheap-looking ocean is revealed while the text "GRUPO CIDADE" pans up and places itself below the logo.

Later Variant: The logo has majorly changed since 1994, showing a different version of the same concept. The camera is placed itself in more to a close-up of the sphere, and instead of the red car, a green truck is seen driving to the other side of the street. The flow of the animation of the logo is interrupted by cheaply-done computer transitions which repeat certain sections of the logo. When the logo is formed, it spirals out into the same animation before a take of the sphere moving across the street zooms in and a palm tree is briefly seen. It then cuts to the near-completion of the logo, before another transition into the finished product appears for a second.

FX/SFX: 3D CGI.

Music/Sounds: A group of female vocalists with some orchestral hits, while an announcer talks.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: The 1994 version of the logo has gained notoriety due to its cheap computer effects and weird sequencing of the animation.

FX/SFX: Better CGI than the previous logos.

Music/Sounds: TBA

Availability: Extinct.
