'''Technique:''' Same as the American ABC logo at the time.

'''Visuals:''' On a space background, lines form a similar grid map of Australia to the previous one in blue. The screen then pans 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.

'''Audio:''' A fast paced, upbeat fanfare.

'''Visuals:'''  The screen zooms out from a neon city background, similar in style to the previous logo, to reveal a boulevard rendered in the same style in which see Channel 9 personalities can be seen 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, the screen pans 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.

'''Audio:''' A re-orchestrated version of the "Come on Along!" song from ABC's idents at the time.  

'''Visuals:''' The sequence starts 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 structures in the distance. 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.

'''Audio:''' A bubbly synth and woodwind tune culminating in the "Still the One" jingle.

'''Visuals:''' There is 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.

'''Audio:''' 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.

'''Audio:''' 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.

'''Audio:''' 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.

'''Audio:'''  

'''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 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:'''

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

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

*Sometimes, some of Channel 9 personalities appear in every ident, for example Charlie Sheen from ''Two and a Half Men'' and Shelley Craft from ''Australia's Funniest Home Videos'' and ''Domestic Blitz''.  

'''Audio:''' An upbeat tune with male singers vocalising throughout then singing what sounds like "smile" (similar to The Supernaturals' song from the previous ident) at the end.
