2nd ID (1978-January 1980)

3rd ID (July 1st, 1978-May 18, 1980)
ID: We fade in from black to see the screen covered in squares, colored in various shades of blue, green and yellow, which then shuffle to form a vertically-rotating cube with faces that rotate to reveal that they make up a picture of a flowering tree with a warmly-colored bird of paradise perched on top of it near a small hill. The bird then flies away off the tree before the cube splits into the small squares we saw before, which then scramble to fill the screen again.

FX/SFX: 2D animation, likely specifically cutout animation.

Music/Sounds: An approximately 23-note ditty likely played with pizzicato tones.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: None.

4th ID (October 4, 1979-December 26, 1983)
ID: On a white background, a pomegranate swings from right to left, revealing a picture of a pomegranate tree that gradually zooms in the next two times the pomegranate swings by until we can see a close-up of one of the pomegranates on the tree. The camera then zooms in the pomegranate. At the end of a program, the pomegranate swings three times before stopping in the middle of the screen and splitting in two, with a seed falling in front of the right half.

FX/SFX: The swinging pomegranate, the picture, the picture zooming in.

Music/Sounds: A light four-note synth ditty, with an arpeggio at the end. The end version has it play in a different pitch.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: This bumper is very well-liked.

5th ID (September 17, 1979-October 31, 1986)
ID: On a white background, a walnut zooms in. When it stops, it opens and releases various shapes of different colors. At the end of a program, the shapes come back inside the walnut, which zooms out.

Variants: Depending on the variant, the shapes are either butterflies, flowers or balloons.

FX/SFX: The walnut zooming and opening, the shapes flying out.

Music/Sounds: A twelve-note synth flute-like theme, with a lighter flute sound when the walnut opens.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: This bumper is one of the most well-remembered Rai bumpers.
