Intro (January 2, 1990-August 27, 1991)
Visuals: The sequence starts from a brown background with a blue square and an eye-looking shape in it. The background and the pupil fills with blue, and the eyeball fills with red. The background splits into two triangles, with them going off-screen to reveal a yellow background, as a red donut shape stretches and dissapears into particles. A black number "7" zooms in, and a yellow background turns into a circle and goes to the upper-right corner, as a strange white object stretches around and turns into a yellow square. Four blue arrows slide in from the square with a little yellow glow behind it. The glow ascends, causing a blue blue shape to appear, and the screen splits into four triangles. They flip out, revealing a lavender screen with words "ТЕЛЕВИЗИОННАЯ СЛУЖБА НОВОСТЕЙ" moving chaotically and a maroon number "6" in the center. The background turns mustard, and a wireframe red circle fades in. It turns into an octagon and zooms out with colorful trail effects, revealing a light blue background with a red number "5". A strange pink object zooms in and scretches sideways, and a green burst appears. A white wireframe sphere zooms out and in with a reddish orb fading in. A white grid blinks, and a white outlined number "4" zooms in. White squares appear, covering the screen, and a rainbow octagon shape appears on a white background, turning blue wireframe, and zooming in. Orange-ish quarters of a circle appear one by one, and form a blue oval on an orange background. A brown computerized number "3" is formed while zooming in, and a red rectangle zooms out while rotating to reveal golden letters "ТСН" connected with each other and sandwiched between grey words "ТЕЛЕВИЗИОННАЯ СЛУЖБА НОВОСТЕЙ". A light blue outlined number "2" zooms out, with the footage zooming rapidly, and a purple circle zooms in, covering the screen, as the number "2" multiplies. Many squares zoom out, forming a red number "1", and two cyan rectangles cross each other, wiping out, causing a red rhombus to zoom in. It reveals a yellow number "0", and a cyan glow appears. Many black numbers and symbols type in, and zoom out. The glow disappears, as well as the number "0", and blue steel letters "ТСН", leaving a shadow, slide and zoom in from the left. A grey word "ТЕЛЕВИЗИОННАЯ" zooms out with blue trail effects, and grey words "СЛУЖБА НОВОСТЕЙ" slide in from the bottom.
Technique: Analog computer animation.
Audio: A dramatic synth tune with xylophone notes in the background, with an ascending synth note at the end.
