JOAX-DTV (Nippon Television): Difference between revisions

* July 1, 1972-September 30, 2001: The first part of this ident is a colorized version of the original one, where the big N is {{Font color|#4682b4|steel blue}} (with "TV" in {{Font color|#1e90ff|light blue}}), the birdcage is {{Font color|#d2b48c|brown}}, and the doves are {{Font color|blue|blue}}. When the last dove zooms towards us, it morphs into glittering sparkles that form a wreath of confetti over a black background; the stars in that wreath quickly turn into doves, and a star shines in the center of that wreath. The corporate wordmark "NTV", in white, shines and zooms in (without changing its color this time). The background becomes a very {{Font color|navy|dark blue}} color. The text "日本テレビ" ("Nippon Television") scrolls left, in the same dot-matrix/LED display-like font as before, but colored {{Font color|orange|orange}}. We cut to a new channel info screen set on a white background; there is a tile-like animation done three times, revealing different white text (the first screen shows "JOAX-TV" over a series of {{Font color|orange|orange}} tiles, the second shows "4チャンネル" ("Channel 4") over a series of {{Font color|blue|blue}} tiles, with the "4" bigger than the rest, and the third shows "日本テレビ" over a series of combined {{Font color|blue|blue}} and {{Font color|orange|orange}} tiles). Afterwards, the end card is shown.

* The doves represent the three television networks in Japan at the time (NHK, Tokyo Broadcasting System, and Nippon Television), and eventually, only one dove remains: the one representing Nippon Television. As more television networks were established over the decades, no new doves were added to this ident and the amount of doves always remained three.

* Here are the end cards used by this ident:

'''Logo:''' This is an abridged remake of the 1953-2001 ident using 3D CGI. The big N (now shown as a glass-like 3D shape) with the letters "T" and "V" inside is first seen, with either "JOAX-TV" (analog channel) or "JOAX-DTV" (digital channel) below. The big N morphs into the birdcage (this time with a thick horizontal {{Font color|#d2b48c|brown}} line below it which wipes rightward, spanning the entire width of the screen), and the word "TV" explodes into blue dots that group into bunches of six of those (that each form a circle); three of these bunches of six dots turn into the same doves from before. Two doves each explode back into the same six dots instead of flying, while the remaining dove flaps its feathers before jumping with its feathers up. Then, the lone dove creates copies of itself while spinning (appearing as "wreaths" of six doves each), and the whole thing fades to a white background with the Nippon Television logo (consisting of the "pixelated" letters "日テレ" ("Nittele") in {{Font color|#d4af37|dark gold}} with the network's pig mascot (named Nandarō) to the left of it), with either "JOAX-TV" or "JOAX-DTV" in {{Font color|#d4af37|dark gold}} above and "Nippon Television" below in a {{Font color|#d4af37|dark gold}} sans-serif font in uppercase.

* The bunch of six dots that form a circle and the "wreath" of six doves both represent Japan's six national television networks at the time: NHK, Tokyo Broadcasting System, Nippon Television, TV Asahi, TV Tokyo, and Tokyo MX.
