What's about to be the finished result looks like a cylinder-like design, a-la the GPB logo of the 1970s. While the circles appear, the word "<b>RADIO-QUÉBEC</b>" (with a line above the first E of "QUÉBEC") zooms in below the logo in a choppy fashion.</font><br/><br/><u>Variants</u><font color="#333333">:</font></font></div><div><ul><li><font color="#333333" face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3">One of the variants had the shape of the logo zooming in until it covers the most of the screen. The logo is also on a different hue than the original ident. The name of the company then would fade in front of the logo.</font></li><li><font color="#333333" face="Arial, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3">Another variant had the Radio-Québec symbol fading in appearing still, then fading out with no text.</font></li></ul></div><div><font size="3"><u>FX/SFX</u>: The parts of the logo appearing, the name zooming in.</font></div><div><font size="3"><br/></font></div><div><font size="3"><u>Music/Sounds</u>: An 9-note synth theme that ends with a dissonant binaural tone.</font></div><div><font size="3"><br/></font></div><div><font size="3"><u>Availability</u>: Probably extinct; it was a network ID bumper, so programming of the time likely won't have this.</font></div><div><font size="3"><br/></font></div><div><font size="3"><u>Editor's Note</u>: The logo forms in too slowly and the last note of the jingle sounds like if there was an error on the system. The text zooming is really cheaply done as well, and notably shaking. Looks like the whole thing was made with Scanimation. The placement of the circles on the original variant are also off-position, most notably the purple circle.</font></div><div><font size="3"><br/></font></div><div><font size="3"><br/></font></div><div><div><font>2nd Logo</font></div><div><div></div><div><font>(1975-1981)</font></div><div align="center"><font><iframe frameborder="0" height="183" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/genericvideo/1ea99e772ae20dfc86c8c72c0a781e542b5bd6e5" width="324"></iframe><iframe frameborder="0" height="186" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/genericvideo/f668d2f106b7d648c91e1a5cd233387c6eebb66b" width="329"></iframe></font></div><div align="left"><font size="3"><br/></font></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div><font size="3"><u>Logo</u>: Both bumpers contain analog video effects; the first bumper has a moving green blob and "Intermede" with a video feedback effect.

The first track is actually called "One Note Samba", made by Perrey &amp; Kingsley. The second track is called "Lover's Concerto" (1975) made by the same music group as mentioned before.</font></div><div><font size="3"><br/></font></div><div><font size="3"><u>Availability</u>: Extinct, this was possibly used when the channel went off-air, though more often as an interstitial clip to fill time between programs.</font></div><div><font size="3"><br/></font></div><div><font><u>Editor's Note</u>: This may be a favorite of some due to the trippy animation and music score.</font></div></div></div><div><font size="3"><br/><br/></font></div><div><font size="3">3rd Logo</font></div><div></div><div><font size="3">(1988-1997)</font></div><div align="center"><font size="3">[[File:9533a1b53928fda758bb6d9fea5c17b0.png|343px|Radio Quebec (1980's)]]<iframe frameborder="0" height="230" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/genericvideo/3db4406dfc02d5ea357c0c0207066725cd21ae08" width="407"></iframe></font></div><div align="center"><font size="3"><br/></font></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div><font size="3"><u>Nickname</u>: "CGI Shapes"</font></div><div><font size="3"><br/></font></div><div><font size="3"><u>Logo</u>: On a dark sky, we see a 3D transparent cylinder with red, green, and blue segments.
