* '''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 #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, two 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 #3:''' A third variant apparently involves a larger green dot with a face juggling the nine dots. A cut down version of this is seen on Channel 9's 40th anniversary promo<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzKN28dRQxw</ref>

'''Legacy:''' The "still the one" slogan and three-note fanfare introduced in this ident would become key parts of Nine's branding for decades to come. The slogan was used for 27 years until it was retired in 2006, despite brief disappearances, the jingle survived even the dropping of "Still the One" and was in use as late as 2017, close to 40 years after it was initially introduced.

'''Visuals:'''  The screen zooms through a fire red background filled with gold spheres. The logo zooms into one of the dots, which opens to reveal "2000" with three CGI spheres as the zeroes. The logo zooms 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.
