'''Logo:''' Same as the "Let Us Be The One" ABC ID for the time, but with different clips and logo order, as well as the logo being replaced with the Nine Network logo, crossfading between the number and dots.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, the Channel Nine logo (seen in a blue-black circle) zooms out to the left as the words "STILL THE ONE!" slide in. We then zoom into the logomark as we see live-action pictures (covered on the bottom-left by program information). As the slideshow finishes, the Nine (golden) dots then appear by glowing in a circle. It then fades to the Nine number as the circle border glows, then switches back to the dots.

'''Logo:''' Same as the ABC 1978 "We're the One!" ID but with the Channel Nine logomark switching to the dots and back to number throughout the logo

===6th Logo (1980-1981)===

'''Logo:''' Same as the end of the ABC 1979 "Still the One!" ID but with the Channel Nine logomark.

'''Logo:''' We zoom across white buildings on a yellow-orange grid map of Australia in a space background. We then zoom out to see the full map to then see the words "STILL THE ONE" in a yellow golden font. The text zooms in as the Channel Nine logomark appears.

'''Logo:''' On a space background, lines form a similar grid map of Australia to the previous one in blue. We then pan across the buildings (again) on the blue grid map in first person view. The camera then pans upwards and the words "STILL THE ONE!" appear by glowing in blue. The Channel Nine number then appears in the same way.

===9th logo (1983-1984)===

[[File:Screen_Shot_2019-04-22_at_9.14.33_pm.png|400px|center]]

'''Nicknames:''' "Come on Along"

File:Screen_Shot_2019-05-13_at_7.09.48_pm.png|Adelaide variant, celebrating the 25th anniversary of the local 9 station.

</gallery>

'''Logo:''' A similar concept to the 8th logo, only this time done with full 3D animation and with the "Still the One" slogan floating past in 3D at the beginning as opposed to showing up at the end. The final logo is shinier and in a lighter blue than the previous logo.

===11th logo (1987-1988)===

[[File:Screen_Shot_2019-10-12_at_9.57.16_am.png|400px|center]]

'''Logo:''' We start in a CGI city before panning out of the city and over a map of Australia, where the camera turns around and enters a second CGI city facing backwards as three bars come from one of the cgi striuctures in the distance. The camer follows the bars as they streak past a building face, leaving the dot-less 9 logo in orange on the side of the building.

'''Logo:''' We see an updated version of the previous ident's animation. The stripes then overlap the Channel Nine logomark, already formed in gold against a glass background reflecting the skyline of whatever city the particular station was broadcasting from.

===13th Logo (February 1992-October 1994)===

'''Logo:''' On an 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 an evening sky with circling clouds. The camera then pans over to one of the skyscraper-like rods, revealing the Nine logo in translucent orange (later in gold) 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.

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

'''Logo:''' On an abstract CGI background of purples, reds and oranges, a swoosh appears and "hits" the middle of the screen, causing circles to disperse from the center. As this occurs, the channel 9 logo zooms out from the foreground and settles in the center of screen, this time in a light gold colour.

'''Logo:''' We zoom into a line of the words "channel nine" repeating with two bars above and below as well as red- and blue-colored flames on the left and right sides, respectively. as we zoom into a small sphere and a larger sphere appearing between the bars and over the letter "e" in "channel". The spheres rotate and the smaller one is revealed to be surrounded by a Saturn-esque ring, as we continue to zoom in through more concentric spheres before a cubic version of 9's famous dots appears, rotating throughout. We zoom through the dots to reveal the 9 logo on a red and blue background with stylized sparks emerging either side of it and the words "channel nine" both above and below it.
