Nine Network Productions: Difference between revisions

'''Logo:''' In the credits of the show, we see an outline drawing of Australia with the words "National Television Network" in the middle

'''Availability:''' Extinct on Television, the 1967-68 variant can be seen on the episodes of ''Brian Henderson's Bandstand'' available on Amazon Prime in Australia. Episodes of ''Bandstand'' featuring all variants can also be found on the Internet Archive. The logo appears on early episodes of ''Division 4''.

* From the early 90s, the logo would sometimes be seen on a black-blue gradient background.

'''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.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A synthesized whooshing sound accompanied by a fast descending note tune on a bright piano. This is followed by a news-style remix of the four-note "Still The One" theme, culminating in an electric guitar tune.

'''Logo:''' On a black, background, we see the then-current Nine Network logo, but in 2D this time. Then several orange squares appear on the left forming an orange bar and a gray gradient background quickly fades-in. Then, the black bar with an orange line above slides in from the left. It has the Nine MSN URL on it. At the same time, the text "NINE NETWORK" (on the left of the Nine logo) and "PROUDLY AUSTRALIAN" (above the black bar), both of which are set in Trajan Pro font, fade in. Afterwards, several white squares appear randomly.

'''Trivia:''' This is directly based on Channel Nine's new look IDs. These were a colossal failure as Channel Nine lost further ground on rival Channel Seven. The branding was also criticized for not having the iconic nine dots.

* Another version starts when the orange bar and the Nine logo is formed. Some orange squares disappear and reappear quickly, like a glitch. Then a white square appears at the top right of the Nine logo with a long white bar at the bottom. The white bar disappears as it cuts to the gray background.

'''Logo:''' On a green gradient background, we see nine differently colored dots which form an updated version of 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 a background (color variations listed below) we see, all at once, the Channel Nine logo being filled with color, a streak zooms in the bottom left corner and the phrase and copyright stamp from the previous logo fade in. All heavily based on the 2012 ident package.

'''Variants:''' The actual production logo has only been spotted on a few shows and hence in four colors, but in-credit logos and Channel Nine's own idents have these color variations.

'''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 the 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.

'''Variant:''' Like the previous logo, the colors may vary depending on the show. For example, On ''A Current Affair'', the color is red. on ''Today'', the colour is orange, etc.

'''Logo:''' Over either the final shots of the program or a custom end card for the show, the 9 dots fly into place, while the numeral 9 wipes in from top to bottom in the appropriate color for the program (e.g. yellow for ''Today'', red for ''A Current Affair'' and ''60 Minutes'', etc.) with the worlds "A Nine Production" at the bottom in the network's standard font. Below that a copyright notice appears in the same color as the Nine logo.
