Multiple stations

Visuals: Superimposed over a colored background, there is a circle consisting of twelve stars made up of lines (supposedly resembling the 12 stars of the flag of the European Union) with the letters of the word "EUROVISION" put in between the stars. The broadcaster's logo appears at the center.

Variants: The style of the stars and the animation usually differs depending on the station it's being broadcasted in.

Technique: None for the most part. Starting in 1979, scanimate/CGI.

Audio: An orchestral trumpet theme, which is actually "Te Deum" by Charpentier. Each station has its own rendition of the theme.

2nd Logo (1994-2011)

Visuals: The logo starts with a close-up of a sphere in a bird's eye view. The camera zooms over the sphere and into the sphere's surface, revealing a light blue/light grey mist-like background and as it does so, three stylized "V"s (one in each color: dark blue, blue, and light blue) fly in from the bottom left, the top, and the bottom right respectively. Once the "V"s settle into place, a gold ring draws itself around the "V"s. After that, the word "EUROVISION" fades in below the logo. After a few seconds, the Eurovision moves below "EUROVISION" and the broadcaster's logo appears in the middle.

Variants: Several different variants of this logo were made, depending on the station it's being broadcasted in.

Technique: CGI animation.

Audio: A reorchestrated version of the previous logo's theme.
