He walks through a crowd and stops to do the dance. The announcer in this variant says: "Get the Channel 9 Moomba feeling". This variant was made in celebration of Farnham winning the award of "King of Moomba" at the Melbourne Moomba Festival (a large community festival held in the city of Melbourne, Victoria) in 1972. Presumably, this ident was exclusive to GTV-9 in Melbourne. | ||

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 (The "shuffle" dance from the previous idents) before giving a weary smile. The character then reverts back to the dot and the logo zooms out. | ||
* '''Variant #2:''' An 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 an 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. | * '''Variant #2:''' An orange dot slides down from the top right of the screen, then ricochets into place.

As the fanfare crescendos, we pan up and see the 9 logo, in gold and sans dots as per the previous logo, rise up from behind the city background. The logo shines. | ||

The camera follows the bars as they streak past a building face, leaving the dot-less 9 logo in orange on the side of the building. | ||

As this occurs, the channel 9 logo zooms out from the foreground and settles in the centre of screen, this time in a light gold colour. | ||

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. | ||
