=== Background ===  

The Nine Network (commonly known as Channel Nine or simply Nine) is a major Australian commercial free-to-air television network, founded in 1956 as the National Television Network, becoming known as the Nine Network in the late 1960s. Nine adopted their famous "dots" logo in 1970. In 1975, Nine Network along with all other Australian TV channels switched to full time colour broadcasts. The Nine Network is one of three main free-to-air commercial networks in Australia, the others being Seven and Ten.

* '''Variant #1:''' The dots appear to the left in orange, follow by the "9" in the same color to the right. The camera gets closer and closer to the dots until the middle dot is all that's left. The dot then grows arms, legs, and a face, with it being confused at first. After looking at his new features, the character gets embarrassed and turns red. The character turns back to orange and then does a little dance before giving a weary smile. The character then reverts back to the dot and the logo zooms out.

* '''Variant #2:''' A orange dot slides down from the top right of the screen, then ricochets into place. Several more dots appear and start bouncing into their respective places, except for a dot that is on the opposite side of the screen. The final dot then collides with the lone dot and melds with it, quickly forming the "9" and the last dot, but not before fusing with the dots and splitting from it quickly. After the logo is formed, 2 white lines appear and tap against each over as a orange rectangle appears around the logo. The lines then transform into the text "LIVING COLOR" in a white font similar to the "9" logo. A white border then appears around the orange border and then zooms out.

'''Logo:''' We face the top of some building when some long, thick, and transparent stripes slide out of the ground and head as the camera pans around Australia. The stripes then overlap the Channel Nine logomark, already formed in this logo in gold.

'''Logo:''' On a evening sky background, a curved glass stripe wipes in over what appears to be purple clouds, along with glass rods of different sizes. The camera then pans over the glass stripe gets bombarded by several glass rods from behind. This causes a golden picture of Australia to pixelate onto it. As the camera zooms into it, we then go thorough a small hole in it, briefly going underground before emerging out with several glass rods (some flying out, others emerging from the ground), starting with brown and then ending with the normal look from them, all under a evening sky with circling clouds. The camera then pans over to one of the skyscraper-like rods, revealing the Nine logo (either in orange during the day, or gold during the night) and a reflection of the station's serving area appears behind it. The sky then either remains or turns to night as the logo shines. The end result also shows the glass rods sections looking like windows on a skyscraper.

* The background reflected in the building's windows will vary depending on which city/region the station serves.

* Sometimes, the Nine logo is replaced with that of a different station's logo if possible (like WIN).

'''FX/SFX:''' CGI animation.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A deep whoosh is first heard, and then sounds of synth wipes and beeps are heard, overlayed with a upbeat trumpet theme, ending with 4 notes.

'''Availability:''' Extinct. Although, this ID was re-aired as part of the premiere of The Amazing 90's in 2015.
