Logo descriptions by Thisisanswer

Background: één is a Belgian television channel, which forms part of the Flemish public broadcasting organisation Vlaamse Radio-en Televisieomroep (VRT). Originally formed in 1953, it was the first channel of NIR, which then became BRT in 1960. In 1977, it was renamed to BRT TV1 with the launch of BRT TV2. Even though BRTN TV2 became Ketnet and Canvas in 1997, it still retained its name until 2005, where it was changed to its current name.

yellow square appears in the middle of the screen. It then slowly zooms in, which then folds open to reveal a orange diamond. It then opens up again to reveal a brown square, in which the BRT logo fades onto. It consists of "brt" in a very odd font with the RTBF logo attached to the left side.

Variant: At closedowns, the logo reverses in animation..

FX/SFX: The zooming and opening.

4th Logo
(1982-1986)

Logo: On a black background, a
white outline of a "1" is seen with several blue trails coming of it. Copies emerge from it and zoom towards the screen, 4 in total, before it zooms towards the screen as well. The logo then fades to the same "1" on a dark blue background, filled with a light blue. The background fades to black, revealing blue trails going to the bottom left as "brt" fades in to the right of it.

  • Sometimes, the logo may be still and in 3D.

5th Logo
(1986-1998)

Logo: At sunset, there is a skyline of Brussels, with several buildings in the distance as well as the Reyers Tower and Atomium. Then, all of them light up one by one. The skyline then fades out to a black background with a
dark blue glow as a orange line wipes in, revealing a flashing "brt" in it as well. When the line finishes, a outline of the BRT TV1 logo in blue zooms out with a trail effect, before the trail zooms in and flashes. This forms the logo in silver with a grid design similar to that of the BRT 2 logo inside it. The 1 shines and sparkles around the edges.

FX/SFX: The footage, the rolling and peeling.

Music/Sounds: Same as before, but remixed to feel more powerful.

yellow bars fly into view before slowly folding over. As they fold over, the camera rotates to face the top of them, revealing a dark grey cloth in the background. When the bars fold over themselves, they form a abstract "1" that zooms in with the background.

FX/SFX: The lines folding in and rotating.
