'''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 keep appearing/disappearing, 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).

'''Technique:''' The boxes appearing and disappearing.
'''Technique:''' Live-action and simple computer effects.


'''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.

'''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.

'''Technique:''' Relatively concise two-dimensional animation. The later variant used Scanimation for the transitions.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A repetitive synth score. An announcer is heard starting in 1985.

'''Legacy:''' 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.

'''Legacy:''' Something about the peaceful-looking animation turning into the dark reveal of the logo can be trance-inducing. Some of the sounds also won't help with the existing surreal atmosphere of the animation.

'''Availability:''' The analog version is extinct, it was used on startups until the closure of analog transmissions on July 24, 2011. It was replaced with the digital version afterward, which is currently used on startups from the channel since 2003.

'''Legacy:''' The transition from the sphere rising to the sky to the name on the space background feels awkward. Also, it is starting to become a little dated thanks to the long usage, as well as the keyboard-esque music.
