Nigerian Television Authority Network Service

1st Logo (1998-)


Visuals: On a black background, we see two light sparks and a dark yellow colored, liquid spherical mass. The camera moves back as the sparks move into the liquid sphere, and then the outline of the Earth rapidly zooms in two times from it. The landmass of Nigeria, in green, appears to the right of the sphere as glowing outlines zoom from it, while multiple bronze and squares rotate behind, forming a grid background. The sphere turns into a waving map of the Earth. The Nigerian landmass then disappears, and the letters of the NTA logo in transparent zoom out, with the "T" rotating. The logo then changes into its colors by a wiping effect. The text "NIGERIAN TELEVISION AUTHORITY" emerges by a flash below the logo, and "Network Service" fades in below the name, with each letter zooming in one-by-one after appearing.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A traditional theme with drums and a reed instrument, ending with a crash, and a male announcer saying "This is the Network Service of the NTA" with windchimes.

Availability: Can be seen nationwide in local NTA stations as well as NTA International.

2nd Logo (2020s-)
Visuals: We see drone shots of the NTA headquarters in Abuja with the location info (with a moving map icon) shown in the bottom-left corner. It then changes to an aerial view which moves back while radial rings appear from the center in yellow, then we see the rest of Africa with a map of Nigeria and its states, as multiple yellow lines reach towards each state. The rest of the Earth is revealed in negative colors. The Earth moves to the right as the letters of the NTA logo are shown rotating brightly in the left, which change and settle into position while "NIGERIAN TELEVISION AUTHORITY" appears below with each letter zooming in one-by-one. Then "NETWORK SERVICE", stacked and in 3D silver, appears zooming in below the logo and slowly rotates into perspective.

Technique: Live-action footage, and CGI at the end.

Audio: An extended version of the music from before, with the same announcer.

Availability: Used in tandem with the previous ID.
