Background: Although the network began in 1961, they didn't start using a closing logo until 2000.

(2001-(2000- )
CTV (2001- )CTV (Canada) - CLG Wiki
Nickname: "CTV in the Sky", "CTV Ribbons"

Logo: Over a video of a setting with plants (possibly wheat or dry grass) and an orange sky, we see the CTV logo (which consists of a red circle with a "C", a blue square with a "T" and a green triangle with a "V") at the center, with ribbons flowing from behind them. The ribbons correspond to the colors of the shapes.

Trivia: This logo is based off CTV's on-air identity in use since 1998.

Variants:
  • From 2001-2005,"CANADIAN2000-2005,"CANADIAN TELEVISION" faded in below the logo, with a Bell Globemedia byline following shortly thereafter.
  • From 2005 on, there is no byline and the letters in "CTV" appear thicker.
FX: The flowing ribbons.

Music/Sounds: A high new age-style synth note that is held throughout the logo.

Availability: Both versions can be seen on Degrassi: The Next Generation on CTV in Canada, and The N and in syndication in the US. The 2005 version can be seen on Instant Star, also on The N.

Scare Factor: Medium to high; it cuts in DIRECTLY after whatever precedes it with no warning at all, with the music probably catching you off guard. The scare factor is minimal to low for those who are used to seeing it.
