Nine Network: Difference between revisions

'''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.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A fast paced, upbeat fanfare.

'''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.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Same as the 8th logo, albeit slightly enhanced.

'''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.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A more orchestrated version of the previous ident's music.

* Sometime in early 1993, this ident received a revision. The animation proceeds as usual, however the final logo is now in metallic gold instead of translucent orange and new background images are used which were taken at night instead of sunset and are much sharper and cleaner than before.

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

*Also in 1996, a variant celebrating 40 years of Australian television was used.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A triumphant fanfare, culminating in a grand, sweeping version of the "Still the One" jingle.

There are station-specific variants with the city name listed below the logo, though oddly, the Brisbane variant has "Queensland" instead of the city name below it.

'''Music/Sounds:'''  

'''Logo:''' We zoom through a fire red background filled with gold spheres. We zoom into one of the dots, which opens to reveal "2000" with three CGI spheres as the zeroes. We zoom through one of the zeroes as nine more spheres fly past us to form the iconic dots as the nine logo is revealed in an updated version of the previous ident's background with numerous 2000's in a horizontal line repeating in the background. The "still the one" slogan appears below.

'''Variants:'''

'''Variant:''' Sometimes the ninemsn URL will appear in place of the slogan.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Each ident has its own musical score; all idents (except Sport) end with the iconic "still the one" jingle.

* When NWS-9 marked its 45th anniversary, the ident would end with the 9 logo to the right and the words "Still The One" in large 3D letters to the left. "Celebrating 45 years" would appear above in a fancy script font and "1st in South Australia" would appear below.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A calm beat leading into a modern version of the "still the one" jingle.

'''Variant:''' On NWS-9 in Adelaide, "ADELAIDE'S NUMBER 1" fades in below the logo as the animation finishes.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A redone version of the previous theme.

'''Variants:''' A long version of the ident exists, in which various shots of the flying dots are seen before cutting to the slogan.

'''Music/Sounds:''' The new network song, a modified cover of "Smile" by The Supernaturals.

*For Adelaide and Perth, the nine dots are removed, due to affiliation disagreements of WIN ownership in mid-2007.  

'''Music/Sounds:''' An upbeat tune with male singers vocalising throughout then singing what sounds like "smile" at the end.

'''Logo:''' We see a blue structure from various angles, as streaks of light pass through the logo. We pan through one of the walls to reveal that the structure is actually the Nine logo. We then see the logo from various close-up angles before cutting to the front as the logo zooms into place and the new slogan, "Welcome Home", writes itself in in a cursive font.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A grand, rising orchestration leading into the classic "Still the One" jingle.

'''Logo:''' We see various shots of a "swoosh" passing the frame in various colours, sometimes weaving around spheres in the same colour as the swoosh and the background. The colours are as follows: blue, red, green, purple, yellow, green. Eventually we cut to a shot of the swoosh moving up the left side of the frame as the Nine logo appears on the right with "Welcome Home" below it. As this happens, the colour changes three more times from purple to yellow to blue.

'''Music/Sounds:''' An upbeat tune with vocals, leading into the "Still the One" jingle.
