6th ID (1995)


Visuals: The screen slowly zooms out from eight yellow panels, containing pictures of certain places around Brazil. Some of them flip. The screen then zooms out again to reveal the text "CNT". "TV ARATU" zooms out from the screen, standing just below the "CNT" text.

8th ID (1997-1999)

Visuals: On a white background (with translucent copies of TV Aratu's logo) is the SBT logo coming from the bottom of the screen, stopping at the top-left corner. A red random shape reaches to the top-right corner, eventually shrinking and forming the TV Aratu logo. Then, a small blue "C" goes to the bottom of the screen, forming the text "Canal 4" and two thin lines above and below it, respectively.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A dramatic, brass theme, once again, accompanied with an announcer.
