Draft:RCN Televisión

Background
RCN Television (acronym of Radio Cadena Nacional) is a private TV channel and production company, the second largest tv chanel in colombia. RCN started out as a "programadora" (Colombian television production & distribution company) in 1967. The company then became a network by adquiring one of the two licenses from the Colombian government (the other being Caracol Television). The company is also known for making Yo soy betty, la fea, one of the most popular telenovelas from Latin America and one of the few to be adapted as an US television show.

Logo (1979-1986)
Logo: On a black/red gradient a sphere zooms out to the right as a red light spins around it. The light then splits in three as they form the letters of the word "RCN". Then the lights fade out. A light spark then wipes in "TELEVISION" below "RCN".

FX/SFX: It's all made with 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: A descending/ascending synth sounder, followed by a bell theme and the announcer.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: The creepy synth at the first half along with the lights forming the word may scare people, especially if the bell music that comes after makes them feel creeped out.

Logo (1986-1988)
Logo: On a black background various multicolored line segments zoom out and form the word "RCN", and then the colors of the word wipe to orange. The logo then slightly zooms in, moving up a bit, and the word "TELEVISION" flashes in below. The logo shines.

FX/SFX: The lines forming the word, the changing colors, the zooming and the word "TELEVISION" flashing in.

Music/Sounds: The same as before, as well as a different announcer.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: The music still feels surprising but the animation is more tame than before.

Logo (1988-1998)
Logo: We zoom out from blue/yellow lines, as a metallic sphere moves in at the left. The lines are revealed on the sphere, resulting to be a figure of a lightning bolt with the colors of the Colombian flag. The figure of the lightning bolt then places itself in front of the sphere as the camera rotates and places. "RCN", stylized like before, shoots in and places next to the figure.

Variants:
 * From 1988 to 1991, the metallic sphere fades out when the word shoots in.
 * A variant of the same version exists, but with "RCN" in 3D.
 * From 1991 to 1998, the metallic sphere doesn't fade out, resulting in a freeze frame, the "RCN" is seen with a different 3D style and "TELEVISION" (with a shadow behind) fades in below "RCN".

FX/SFX: Everything.

Music/Sounds:
 * An upbeat synthesized theme with a zap sound at the beginning, and the announcer.
 * The logo's last years used a different synth theme.

Availability: Extinct. Was seen on various Colombian productions and distributed shows on Canal Uno and Canal A at the time.

Editor's Note: None.
