TVS
Logo descriptions by mr3urious
Editions by Nathan B.
Note: TVS was the proccedior to Meridian Television.
1st Logo
(1982-1987)
Nickname: "Rainbow Flower"
Logo: Against a black background, two lines on the edges of the screen are drawn outward simultaneously, followed by two more pairs of lines. The result is a trumpet-shaped flower that takes up the entire screen, which is colored red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple (from left to right). It then zooms out to the left as "TVS" (in white) unfolds horizontally to the right of it.
Variant: After the flower forms, it would sometimes flip around as it zooms out and "TVS" would quickly zoom in instead. This was used for weekend programs.
FX: The flower forming and zooming out.
Music/Sounds: An eight-note horn fanfare, with the first three notes playing in sync with the animation.
Availability: Extinct on TV, but could possibly be retained on the UK Fraggle Rock DVDs.
Scare Factor: Low due to the fanfare, but the flipping variant may be slightly higher due to the faster animation.
2nd Logo
(1987-1992)
Nickname: "CGI Flower"
Logo: On a bluish BG with diagonal lights, a clear glass version of the TVS logo slowly zooms out and flips around, transforming into "TVS" (made out of the same material). "TELEVISION" fades in below.
FX: The flower zooming out.
Music/Sounds: An uplifting horn fanfare.
Availability: Extinct on TV.
Scare Factor: None.
