Logo descriptions by Wellmart3, Unnepad

Background
: Rede Tupi was the first TV network in South America, that launched on September 18, 1950, and ended transmissions on July 18, 1980. It has been called to be the predecessor of Rede Manchete.

1st Logo
(1950-1972)


Logo: We see a test screen, with an Indian head on top of it. We then see a character with a hat with TV antennae atop it. The face rotates, and winks. There is a circling transition to a female face with the same antenna hat as the previously mentioned character, but is interrupted by the channel's logo appearing.

Trivia: The first character seen was actually the mascot of the channel. The second character was the mascot for TV Cultura.

FX/SFX: The faces on the test cards. Cartoon-esque animation.

Music/Sounds: An overly dramatic fanfare.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: None.



2nd Logo
(March 31, 1972-May 2, 1977, August 1, 1977-May 21, 1979)


Logo:On a black background various spherical spinning patterns zoom out, aswhite squiggly lines zoom in as the text "REDE TUPI DE TELEVISAO" scrolls in. The spherical patterns zoom out to take place of the balls of the logo. These later turn into the corresponding ball's colors (green, red and blue), and the background turns white with the logo completely formed.

Variant: Sometimes, the transition to the white background is omitted, leaving the logo animation of the spheres playing as a loop.

FX/SFX: The spherical patterns spinning zooming out, the logo zooming in, the text scrolling in.The whole animation screams 70's, and it makes little sense.

Music/Sounds: Usually an announcer that says "Este programa da Rede Tupi de televisão foi aprovado e liberado pelo serviço de censura federal para ser exibido neste horário" (This Rede Tupi television program has been approved and released by the Federal Television Service to be displayed at this time).

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: None.



3rd Logo
(1972-1973?)

Logo: On a black background we see two white lines with the three colored balls from before in between. The lines then twist into the squiggly forms of the logo, to form the result.

FX/SFX: Limited animation.

Music/Sounds: A weird theme.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: The combination of the dark limited animation and weird music may not be well for some.



4th Logo
(1977)

<iframe align="right" frameborder="0" height="232" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/genericvideo/94652249945c619c3be103e7a058324f49053d7c" width="307"></iframe>
Logo: The same channel logo from before appear in a black screen, but eventually is covered by several green parallel lines, these lines shrink to appear at the same size as the logo, and separates (but inside the logo ovals the lines are retained). The lines reappear in the same position and separates again, as the lines that appear inside the ovals get bigger, and are colored in the same color as the balls that appeared before in the ovals (green, red and blue). The ovals collides and forms a explosion, will reveals an hexagon with some green lines in it. The hexagon moves away and a returns, and several lines appear from every side of the hexagon (forming a pinwheel-like shape) and some lines are shoot from. Finally, the words "REDE TUPI" appear zooming below.

Trivia: Originally, the channel, along with their change of programming, it was also going to change logo as seen in it. However, due problems at the attempt of rebrand, the new logo was abandoned, and instead the older logo seen before would still be used.

FX/SFX: 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: TBA

Availability: Extinct. Only lasted some months before being replaced by the old channel logo.

Editor's Note: None.



5th Logo
(1977-1979)

<iframe align="right" frameborder="0" height="201" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/genericvideo/dd6b6591681fc9fc82c911f65818eab72c18dd60" width="354"></iframe>
Logo: We see a yellow light on a red background that switches to a lit up sign that says "REDE" in a wide bold font. The camera switches to "TUPI" in the same font as before, with another light. Finally, we see a sign that says "REDE TUPI" with lights around it. This cycle continues.

FX/SFX: The camera switching.

Music/Sounds: A five-note motif from Close Encounters of the Third Kind which is also heard in the 1983 Rede Manchete logo. It replays in a louder, lower pitch when the animation cycles.

Availability: See above.

Editor's Note: The very jarring cut to the logo with the weird music and fast animation might scare a handful of viewers.



6th Logo
(1978-1979?)

<iframe align="right" frameborder="0" height="234" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/genericvideo/7cc111e4fffa67ecd4ac9999d619fbb513841321" width="311"></iframe>
Logo: Light beams start appearing in a space background, one is colored blue, another is colored red, and another colored green. These beams start moving, and eventually shrinking, making it look like searchlights. Then these start placing in middle of the screen, forming the same colored balls from before, and finally the lines and the text "REDE TUPI DE TELEVISAO" flashes below.

FX/SFX: The searchlights, the text appearing.

Music/Sounds: A bouncy synth theme.

Availability: See above.

Editor's Note: None.



7th Logo
(1978?)

Note: Can be seen <a href="https://youtu.be/5SFY6v0q9IE?t=21" target="_self">here</a>.

Logo: A red line appear swirling through the screen, then another colored green appear moving in the same form but more closer the the left, then another colored blue appear with same movement but even more closer to the left and smaller. The text "REDE TUPI" and the same squiggly lines appear over the lines. Finally, the lines start appearing quickly forming the circles one by one.

FX/SFX: The lines, cheap animation.

Music/Sounds: TBA

Availability: See above

Editor's Note: None.



8th Logo
(1979-1980)


Logo:We see three rounded quadrilaterals in the form of an abstract "T". One shape has a blue outline,one has ared outline and the other has agreenoutline. This "T" zooms out with a trail. The green shape zooms in from the right after a transition. There is another transition, which has the red and blue shapes zooming up from the bottom. The logo is now complete, and faces the viewer with a generic flash.

Variant: The earliest version of the logo had the logo spinning out with a trail, and then flashing.

FX/SFX: The trailing. Somehow choppy Scanimation with many splices and hairs in the film.

Music/Sounds:
  • The early version used gloomy vibraphone arpeggios.
  • The first months of the full logo's lifetime used part of the first 20 seconds from George Benson's "Breezin", consisting of a repeating flute flourish.
  • Later, it used a dramatic synth theme with a drumbeat, with the first synth note being more longer. This became the main theme.
  • It also used a somber synth theme.
Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: None.

Logo: We move through three outlined arrows, which are folded in the middle, until we reach the Rede Tupi logo from the time, then we move away and an explosion appear, leaving some particles.

Logo: We see a white circle with a yellow dot inside, which appear blurring, then we skip to the parts of the same logo from before (but colored yellow, blue and white) rotating to rearrange his original look, on a starry background. The logo shines.

Logo: Just the Rede Tupi logo from before, but outlined. No animation. We see a message over the logo (which is not a part of the actual logo, but this is the only time in which anyone has seen any instance of it on the television station):

ATE BREVE

(See you soon,
