9Go!

Background
9Go! launched in 2009 as GO!, the Nine Network's first non-simulcast digital multichannel. The channel launched with a varied focus airing classic shows such as I Dream of Jeannie, Bewitched, Green Acres and The Lucy Show as well as kids programming ranging including modern cartoons such as Adventure Time and Hanna-Barbera classics. In 2014, the channel underwent its' first significant brand refresh. In 2015, the channel was renamed to 9Go! as part of an initiative by the Nine Network to align the branding of its channels which also lead to GEM becoming 9Gem. At the same time, the channel shifted from channel 99 to channel 93. 2016 saw the channel undergo a shift in programming, with much of the daytime schedule given to the new 9Go! Kids! block. Outside of daytime 9Go! maintains its original variety-based focus, albeit with a more youth-oriented slant.

1st ID (2009-2014)
Logo: We see the GO! logo of the time, A white letter G in a dark-colored box with an O and an exclamation mark with nothing behind it and in the same color as the box behind the G. The logo floats in a CGI "room" and bounces of the walls in a manner reminiscent of an old DVD screensaver. When the logo touches the wall squared "sparks" come off the logo where it touches the wall.

Technique: The GO! logo bouncing around the background, brief flashes and the spark effects. The whole aesthetic is very late-2000s.

Variant: A variant was made to promote Windows 7, where the GO! logo switches with the Windows logo.

Music/Sounds: A short electro-pop tune with a few "Go..." voice samples and a robotic female voice saying "Don't wanna let it go", inspired by the channel’s original theme song, "Go" by Noise International featuring Sharon Muscat. The full music video of this song would occasionally be played on the channel in its early days.

2nd ID (2009-2014)
Logo: On a black and white background, a blue GO! logo turns around, then rises up surrounded with blue, red, green, yellow and pink sparks. It then spins around clockwise, fronting the camera.

Technique: The GO! logo rising up and turning to the camera.

Variant: During the Christmas season, the "GO!" logo is green and white rather than white and pink, and the text "GO! HO HO" pops up when it rises.

Music/Sounds: A "Go" voice sample from the previous logo, followed by the same female voice saying "You won't wanna let it go!". The Christmas variant adds bells and a Santa voice saying "Ho ho ho!" in sync with the logo after the "Go".

Availability: The best way to see this would be old TV recordings from the period this logo aired.

3rd ID (2009-2011)
Logo: On a black background we see a cluster of CGI shards shifting around until they come together and form the GO! logo. The logo then deforms as we fade to black.

Technique: The shards shifting around and eventually forming the logo. Yet more late-2000s aesthetic.

Music/Sounds: A different remix consisting of samples from the GO! theme song.

Availability: See the previous idents.

4th ID (2009-2014)
Logo: We pan around the GO! logo as CGI fall on the logo before smashing on the "ground" below the logo.

Technique: The sparks crashing to the floor.

Music/Sounds: A short vocal tune based on "GO!" by Noise International featuring Sharon Muscat: "Take it back, you don't want that, you don't, you said that now you're going crazy, you're going crazy 'bout GO!"

Availability: See the previous idents.

5th ID (2009-2014)
Logo: In a rectangular vortex similar to the 1980s DiC logo, we see shards similar to those seen in prior idents fly in. We then see the Go! logo coming in from the opposite end of the vortex. The shards fly into the logo which is then blasted backwards as the ident fades out.

Technique: The sparks flying around in the vortex.

Music/Sounds: Yet another remix based on the GO! song.

Availability: See the previous idents.
