Office de Radio et Television des Comores

Background:
L'Office de Radio et Télévision des Comores (Translation: The Comoros Radio and Television Office) or ORTC is the national public broadcasting company of the Comoros. It broadcasts radio programs and a television channel in Comorian, French and Arabic  : ORTC-TV.

(2010?-)


Nicknames: "The Rolling Ball", "Ball Rolling up Text"

Logo: Over what looks like a computer-generated news room, we see the room dim down as a ball drops and rolls up the following words: "INFORMATION", "DOCUMENTAIRE", "MAGAZINE", "DIVERTESSMENT" and "DIRECT" in that order. Then, we see the words "ORTC" zoom in from the bottom, followed by the words "Office de Radio et Télévision des Comores" zooming in above before going to the bottom. The room then lights up again, with the text still zooming in as the logo cuts to black.

Trivia: The rolling ball parts are actually a template provided for people to use as an intro for videos.

FX/SFX: The dimming, ball rolling and text movement; all CGI.

Music/Sounds: A tune that sounds similar to a news opening with a female announcer saying the words in French.

Availability: Was seen on newsreels provided by the company.

Editors Note: Although professional for an African logo, the CGI is still pretty cheap and dated. When the text zooms in at the end, the ORTC is off-center and the company name still zooms in, even after the logo cuts to black.
