Draft:Sistema Brasileiro de Televisão

Background: Known simply as SBT, it was one of two companies started by prolific Brazilian TV personality & producer Silvio Santos. In 1976, he began his own TV station in Rio known as TVS, which later expanded to stations in the northwest. In 1980, his production company bought the stations once owned by the doomed Rede Tupi. Those stations were relaunched as SBT a year later. By 1990, the TVS and SBT stations consolidated into one company and name. To this day, SBT's main programming have been imports either dubbed into Portuguese or adapted for Brazilians.

SBT (1991)

Logo: On a black background, various colored blocks of different lengths fly in until eventually, they form a map of Brazil. Then the camera flies in and the blocks seem to move apart while staying stationary (a la Channel 4). We zoom in on one pink block, which then changes from rectangular to cylindrical. That block zooms away and a ring of different colored tube blocks spin and zoom out. As this happens, the letters sbt (in a font similar to the ABC logo in America) zoom out. Once it settles, all the blocks have joined together to make a large multicolored circle.

FX/SFX: Everything with the blocks is solid animation for its time. The zooming out of SBT looks rather cheap however.

Music/Sounds: Ferdinand J. Smith's score for the HBO Feature Presentation ident from 1982 (using the music for the short variant).
