Visuals: On a red background, a white rectangle stretches in, in which all switches into opposite colors. A black rectangle stretches in, bringing up the red rectangle, with another red rectangle stretching in. The black rectangle then slides and shortens, bringing the middle red rectangle slightly further away to the right, with another red rectangle stretching in. The middle red rectangle then slides back to it's position as we pan to the right to reveal the sliding word "BNNVARA" next to it. All of it is shown in a tilted angle.

Variants:

  • For programs on NPO 2, it starts with three white bars on a red background, then they jump into black. The bars slide at the left while the background changes to white as the bars form the broadcaster's logo.
  • For programs on NPO 3, it starts with three white bars on a red background, then they shake and bounce on a black background. When the white background appear, the bars turn red before the broadcaster's name hits them.
