Background

TV 2 A/S is the production company of Norwegian TV channel TV 2.



1st Logo (1992-2003)

Visuals: Usually an in-credit notice consisting of the number "2" but made up of red, gold, gold, and blue curves. Underneath it is the copyright year divided in half by the copyright symbol.

Variants:

  • On programs co-produced with Juritzen A/S, said company's logo would fade out within the TV set and then TV 2's would appear next.
  • Some programs such as X-press, adds the text "Produsert for" above the logo.
  • This logo may appear on the end title card of some shows.
  • On Sentrum, the copyright symbol was removed.
  • On Vazelina Hjulkalender, the copyright symbol appears above the year.

Technique: A still, computerized graphic.

Audio: The ending theme of the program.

Availability: Seen on original TV 2 programming from most of the 1990's through well into 2003, but most of these programs are no longer reran and can only be found through old video recordings. These include episodes of Dokument 2, TV2 Hjelper Deg, and Holmgang from this period as well as X-press, Sentrum, and Oppdrag Sabotasje. However, it was also seen on Vazelina Hjulkalender, which was released on DVD.

2nd Logo (2003-Late 2000's?)

Visuals: It's a more stylized version of the first logo where half of the coloring was removed, the logo is flat rather than beveled, and it's inside a white box.

Technique: A still, digital graphic.

Audio: The ending theme of the program.

Availability: Was so far only seen on Dokument 2 episodes from this period. Episodes from said show starting some time in the late 2000's would cut to the ending title card sequence.

3rd Logo (Late 2000's-2013)

Visuals: A black perfect square zooms out, leaving a brief trail that quickly disappears. It stops in the center, allowing a white square to zoom and fill in the shape while the logo from before draws some of its curves before the rest of the coloring fades in. Afterwards, the bottom text "TV 2 AS©(year)" fades in underneath.

Variant: The logo may transition from other logos or the last scene of the program.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A deep synthetized bong.

Audio Variant: On Sporløs, the logo is silent.

Availability: Seen on original programs from this period such as early 2010's episodes of TV2 Hjelper Deg and Sporløs.

4th Logo (2013-2021)


Visuals: Same as before but with the 2013 logo, which is more simplified with its thinnest line curves removed. Additionally, the background has more shading and when the white box zooms in, it releases a faint color burst out. Plus, the font for the copyright info underneath is different.

Variants:

  • Like before, it may transition from other logos or the final bit of the program.
  • An in-credit version exists, either exactly like the logo used in the normal variant or the print version where the number is completely white.
  • On Heksejakt, the logo is flatter with no shading and is also brighter.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A synth whoosh.

Audio Variant: In some cases, the same sound from the last logo is used.

Availability: Again, it was seen on original programs from this period with 2010's TV2 Hjelper Deg episodes including this logo, plus TV 2 Duellen, Heksejakt, and Occupied. Many of these programs are available through the channel's website or through Viaplay.
