1st Intro (March 15, 2004-April 12, 2006)
Intro: We see time-lapse footage of people walking and vehicles moving, and we fade in time-lapse footages of close-up views of a clock moving, then a table with papers on it with shadows moving. Then, we fade to a close-up of anchor Mel Tiangco, and a person wearing a black suit, albeit blurred, against a white background, and then, Tiangco's face is blurred and the man in the suit is revealed to be Mike Enriquez. Afterwards, Tiangco and Enriquez are seen for a split-second each before the words "Tambalang di mapapantayan" move down, against a shot of Enriquez and Tiangco on the lower right corner, and their shots are blurred when "di mapapantayan" is revealed. Then it cuts to a time-lapse footages of vehicles moving on the road and the words "24" appear randomly on the lower right corner. Then letters rotate to form the words "Mel TIANGCO" against a cream-colored background, and then we cut to Tiangco taking care of an elderly woman with the words "may puso" below, and then Tiangco reading a paper with the word "tapat" on the left corner. Afterwards, in a similar formation as before, "Mike ENRIQUEZ" is being formed, and then we cut to a zooming in shot of Enriquez typing on a laptop, with the words "Mapagkakatiwalaan" on the lower left. As we fade in to Enriquez putting down a phone and closing a laptop, the words change to "Matapang", before it fades out. Afterwards, we cut to several white background shots of Tiangco and Enriquez with their names on it, then they walk from the right as the words "Mel" and "Mike" cross opposite directions moving vertically, and then a close-up shot of Enriquez with his name on the left side with Tiangco facing left, and briefly to a slightly blurred close-up of Tiangco's face with Enriquez on the right, then back to before, but Tiangco is facing front with the word "Mel" on it. Then we cut to a nighttime shots of vehicles moving with the sun rising, as number in the center rapidly from 1 to 24. Then the words "ORAS" flash in letter-by-letter on the bottom, and we cut back to the shortened shots of the same things before, then briefly to Enriquez reading Tiangco's paper, and finally to Tiangco and Enriquez on the lower-right, as a number 1 appears on the upper left, zooms out, and rapidly counts to 24. Afterwards, the 24 Oras logo is formed. The 24 is shaped like a clock, enclosed in a circle. The words "ORAS" zooms out, and followed by the words "Dahil natutulog ang balita." below "ORAS".

Technique: Live-action and computer animation.

Music/Sounds: The 2004 24 Oras theme music, followed by Joel Reyes Zobel saying: "Mula sa GMA Network Center, narito ang walang kinikilingan, walang pinoprotektahan. Mel Tiangco, Mike Enriquez."

2nd Intro (April 17, 2006-August 8, 2008)
Intro: On a dark red background, we see the silver words "DAHIL HINDI NATUTULOG" appearing letter-by-letter, and then we cut to the timelapse of the clock moving. Then we go back to the red background, but the words "ANG BALITA" are now shown, afterwards, we see timelapse footage of moving vehicles. Then on a sunrise skyline, a sun rises in, and the 24 Oras logo appears, zooms in, and then followed by "MEL TIANGCO" on a blue background. Then we cut too Mel Tiangco taking care of a group of people, as the words "MAAASAHAN" wipes in on the lower right corner. Afterwards, "MIKE ENRIQUEZ" follows suit, and cuts to Mike Enriquez walking and talking on the phone, with the words "LUMALABAN" appearing. Then we cut to another timelapse of moving vehicles. Then, we see Tiangco seated near a table with the words "PINAGKAKATIWALAAN" appearing, then we cut to closer shots of Tiangco and Enriquez as the words "LAGING PATAS" appearing. And we cut to a shot of Pia Guanio with the words "KASAMA SI PIA GUANIO" on the lower left corner. Then, it cuts to a moon rising on a skyline with a maroon sky. The moon fades out, revealing the 24 Oras logo. Afterwards, a shot of Guanio zooms away, followed by Enriquez, and then Tiangco, and finally, all three of them on the lower right corner with the 24 Oras on the upper corner. Like before "DAHIL HINDI NATUTULOG ANG BALITA" fades in below "ORAS".

3rd Intro (August 11, 2008-December 6, 2010)
Intro: We zoom in to a close-up of Earth, and then we pan down to see a CGI model of a road, and we stop to the GMA Network Center, whereas a large "LIVE" and a small "GMA NETWORK CENTER" fades in. A small curve can be seen from behind the building, going to the left, as we see parts of the 24 Oras logo on a red and blue background rotating, and then the curve goes from left to right as we pan to the right in a news studio, with Mel Tiangco on the left wearing red as the words "MEL TIANGCO" slide in from the right. Then a ring transitions to a shot of Mike Enriquez on the right, as we pan to the left this time and the words "MIKE ENRIQUEZ" slide in from the left. Afterwards, a ring rotates from left to right, as we see the parts of the 24 Oras rotating, with some other rings rotating. Parts of the logo rotate quickly, and a flash appears, and later dies down to reveal the 2008-2014 24 Oras logo, except that the words "ORAS" is below the circle containing "24" on it.

Technique: Mostly CGI, but the anchors are in live-action.

Intro: It's the same as before, except as we cross down the road, two medals (one in Silver for Best Newscast, and the other in Gold for Coverage of an Ongoing Story) appear with their respective labels on it. Then they disappear as we see the GMA Network Center, but this time instead of "LIVE GMA NETWORK CENTER", a gold and red circle appears around it. However, Mel Tiangco and Mike Enriquez are seen in different outfits, and we see each individual shots of them first before they cut to shots wherein their names slide in. Afterwards, we then see the hands of a clock rotating, as the camera moves, and a circle appears, and a number 2 inside it. A flash appears, revealing the finished logo, this time in bronze, on a red background with a black circle in it.
