'''Logo:''' We see the Nine logo in the show's credits. The accompanying text changed over the years:
*'''1970-1975:''' Either none or the words "National and "Network" above and below respectively.
*'''1975-1981?''': "Living Color", below the logo in the same style as the 1975 idents
*'''1981?-mid-1980s:''' No text.
*'''Mid-1980s-1997:''' "Nine Network Australia" below the logo in a sans-serif font. The font would sometimes vary between shows. From the late 1980s, the standard text was in blue.
 
'''Variants:'''
*From the early 90s, the logo would sometimes be seen on a black-blue gradient background.
*On 1990s Sale of the Century episodes, after the Grundy logo has finished animating, it will zoom out and fade into one of the dots in the Nine logo as it zooms into place.
*In the mid 1980s, a variant featured the dots appearing either side of the 9 numeral and the word "Stereovision" below. This was to promote Nine's commencement of transmission with stereo sound.
 
'''FX/SFX:''' None
 
'''Music/Sounds:''' Just the credits of the show.
 
'''Availability:''' Uncommon, can be seen on uploads of old Nine shows on the internet as well as Nine's own streaming service, 9Now. This will tylpcally be preserved on the rare occasion that anything from this era is rerun.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, we see nine dots together in a 3x3 cube which rotate and face us. Next to it is the number nine in orange which is also formed by rotating. Underneath we see the words "NINE NETWORK Australia" in a font similar to the ident they had at the time, which started out stretched by coming together to become normal. In the middle of the screen is the URL ninemsn.com.au which fades in below. This is the joint website for Channel Nine and MSN Australia.

'''Availability:''' Ultra rare.

It was seen on the first and second seasons of McLeod's Daughters as well as home video release of Hi-5 episodes from the era.

'''Logo:''' We see nine differently colored dots which form the iconic nine dots logo. A white vertical line grows and then produces the number nine on the left side and text on the right side. The text is in exactly the same arrangement as the previous logo. All of the logo happens on a lime green background. This is directly based on the IDs at the time.

'''Logo:''' On the show's ending background, the watermark fills with a certain color (the dots fly in, but not on WIN television as the dots aren't in the logo) as a rectangle, which has a darker version of he same color as the logo, with a ribbon in it (like the 2012 branding) appears. Inside the rectangle, we see "NINE NETWORK PRODUCTION" in white. Above it is another rectangle, in the same color as the logo, reading "PROUDLY AUSTRALIAN". A copyright stamp is seen below, in another rectangle.
