However, these swans only fly past each other in the center of the screen. We then have the stacked text "SUOMEN TELEVISIO" popping up and approaching closer in the middle of the screen. The swans, which leave a square shaped space for the title, then stop at one place for a short amount of time until they then continue flying straight ahead and disappear away on the background, while the title approaches towards the screen before fading off. | ||

* Since January 14, 1990, the channel logo (or TV2's logo at the time but a bit shinier on the bottom) could be spotted on the intro sequence of the public broadcaster's main news program (TV-uutiset ja sää). The logo is seen on a blue background with shiny silver stripes before the camera rotates upward and the logo is wiped away. A large ball then rises from the stripes and it starts to pulsate waves in yellow, red, and green respectively. The logo, which is a "Ω" with a box around it (a bit rounder than the previous variant), then briefly fades in on the bottom before a blue wave wipes it into full view. As it wipes into view, the camera zooms out and rotates as the background forms into a news clip and the text "U U T I S E T" wipes in, briefly flat before becoming 3D. The logo then settles onto the bottom center as the ball forms the circle in the logo and the lines disappear. The wave keeps moving until it fades out and the logo settles to the bottom left corner or it fades to the set and the logo flies away. | * Since January 14, 1990, the channel logo (or TV2's logo at the time but a bit shinier on the bottom) could be spotted on the intro sequence of the public broadcaster's main news program (TV-uutiset ja sää).

* After the regular ident is completed, it then fades out and a new channel logo designed by Liisa Kallio appears to the screen. The logo has the appearance of a basic cube with a red and white background as the right side of the cube forms a thick number 1 with "T V 1" written below the logo.

We then follow the yawning bird walking on right off the startup ident, as this transitions to the opening of the children program. | * Between 1998 and 1999 when the weekend's broadcasting begins with children program ''Veturi'', the ending of the startup ident features a traditionally animated fat red bird falling in front of either one of last two logo variants.

* At the start of the 1993 European Figure Skating Championships program, the logo was made without any kind of distortion, revealing that the cube has a strange moving texture on the entire translucent area of the cube, and that the edges of the cube and logos shine as well. In the background is a cloud-like wall, mostly darkened out with black and the reflections of the cube on the wall. On the bottom left is "YLE" and on the bottom right is "TV1" in grey lettering. The logo eventually fades out to leave the cloud background. | |||
* The closing logo has the logo with solid white fillings situated on the bottom of the screen, with the background being a concrete wall with a small spotlight shining on it (whose position seems to shift). Below the cube is a multicolored gradient line spanning the entire screen, as well as the program name (or none) and "YLE-(year)" or "YLE TV1-(year)" below that. The cube rotates around to a specific colored side depending on the program. | |||
