''' | '''Visuals:''' On a black background, there are 2 white dots stuck to each other. A dot slides across the screen and splits the 2 dots. Then, 2 more dots drop down and position themselves in a plus shape. 2 colons slide up and down from the screen edges and collide with the ends, forming an incomplete square. One final dot slides in from the right side of the screen and pushes one of the dots to the middle, forming a 3x3 grid of dots. The middle dot zooms in to turn the screen white, going to a random live-action part, usually ending in someone performing a particular shuffle dance. After it finishes, the screen fades back to the dots, which then turn into a squishy-looking "9". The "9" then cuts out as the dots appear column by column, before the "9" appears to complete the famous logo. | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' On a dark blue background, 2 events may happen (more are known to exist, though): | ||
* '''Variant #1:''' The dots appear to the left in orange, follow by the "9" in the same colour to the right. The camera moves towards 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 #1:''' The dots appear to the left in orange, follow by the "9" in the same colour to the right.

* '''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.

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. | ||
'''Trivia:''' The Still the One slogan featured here lasted as late as early 2006, when Nine Network declined to Seven Network in ratings weeks. | '''Trivia:''' The Still the One slogan featured here lasted as late as early 2006, when Nine Network declined to Seven Network in ratings weeks. | ||

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. | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' We zoom out from a neon city background, similar in style to the previous logo, to reveal a boulevard rendered in the same style in which we see Channel 9 personalities dancing and having fun. The personalities seen include Paul Hogan (later known for ''Crocodile Dundee''), Humphrey B. Bear, cricket commentators Richie Benaud and Tony Greig, presenter and comedian Bert Newton and journalist Ray Martin, among others. 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. | ||

''' | '''Visuals:''' 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. | ||

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. | ||
