'''Variant''': Starting in 1985, the station's logo was replaced with a shot of the station's then-current headquarters with the name of the callsign being shown on the bottom. After the logo begins to end the same shot appears with the company's slogan shown in the center. | '''Variant''': Starting in 1985, the station's logo was replaced with a shot of the station's then-current headquarters with the name of the callsign being shown on the bottom.

'''Logo''': In a strange room, we zoom up to a floating white sphere that opens up and starts shooting out projections through spotlights. These then erratically move about, revealing the landscape of a flower garden. The camera then rotates around the newly made flowers and flies off, all before fading to a fly-over shot of a forest, with mountains in the back and birds flying about. The sphere then flies back into the shot and shoots out more spotlights, transforming the shot into a desert landscape. The sphere flies up into the sky as the background fades to white, then to an overhead shot of an ocean. Dolphins can be seen leaping out of the water as the sphere returns to the screen and heads towards the clouds, fading back to white. It then fades into a shot of space, with the Earth and Moon in frame and "JOTX- | '''Logo''': In a strange room, we zoom up to a floating white sphere that opens up and starts shooting out projections through spotlights.

It then fades into a shot of space, with the Earth and Moon in frame and "JOTX-TV" zooming in slowly, before giving a pulse and shining away, as the sphere floats silently about. The sphere then closes up as 2 streaks, 1 red and 1 blue, orbit around the sphere as the background fades out. The sphere and streaks then zoom out and disappear, with the TV Tokyo logo fading into place, as well as a thick white outline. | ||

*Like the previous logo, an in-credit text version exists, details are seen. | |||
*Starting in 2011, after transitioning from analog to digital, the logo is a 16:9 aspect ratio. The logo plays the same but the when transitioning to space, the text "JOTX-TV" is replaced with "JOTX-DTV". | |||
'''FX/SFX''': More great CGI, at least from when it originally debuted. | '''FX/SFX''': More great CGI, at least from when it originally debuted. | ||

'''Music/Sounds''': Several clicks can be heard at the beginning, with a shifting synth tune playing in place. It then leads to a music box-like tune with woodwind intervals. Then, a calm piano tune plays twice, with the same interval in the middle. The piano tune becomes much more dramatic as we reach space. A drumroll finishes it off, before ending with a different music box tune. | '''Music/Sounds''': Several clicks can be heard at the beginning, with a shifting synth tune playing in place.

'''Editor's Note''': The transition from the sphere raising to the sky to the name on the space background feels awkward. Also, starting to become a little dated thanks to long usage, as well as the keyboard-esque music. | '''Editor's Note''': The transition from the sphere raising to the sky to the name on the space background feels awkward.
