'''Logo''': There are 12 boxes on the screen containing the logo. One of the boxes disappeared, showing a person with a costume. The other boxes randomly disappeared, also showing a person with a costume. This continued for a few seconds until the boxes began making patterns synced with the music. After a few seconds, red boxes appeared in the middle row with their slogan at that time, "楽しち12ガ月" (12 months of fun). The red boxes later disappeared one by one, showing all the people with costumes. They greet the viewer, then it cuts to the logo in the white background with "JOTX-TV" on the top, the channel 12 logo in the middle, and the phrase "東京12チャンネル" (Tokyo Channel 12 or Tokyo 12 Network). | |||
'''FX/SFX''': The boxes appearing and disappearing. | |||
'''Music/Sounds''': A ticking (almost similar to a ticking clock) sound plays every time the boxes appear/disappear, which later accompanies a short jingle played in a flute. | |||
'''Availability''': Extinct. | |||
'''Editor's Note''': None. | |||

'''Editor's Note''': The animation was good for when it was first used, not so much when the new millennium was approaching. Nevertheless, it is a cool logo that is sadly only used on startups. | '''Editor's Note''': The animation was good for when it was first used, not so much when the new millennium was approaching.

'''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.
