Nicknames: Eric the Goldfish, "Maori/English Translation"

Logo: On a black background, "Irirangi" appears above a red squiggly line, "TE" above a blue squiggly line, and "Motu" above a green squiggly line which bares the text "NZ on Air" which later turn over to where Irirangi is replaced by NZ, TE by ON and Motu by AIR and the English name replaced with it's Maori translation. Variants:


 * It mostly does that turn thing to reveal the network's logo that the show was made by before or after.
 * An in-credit variation in the ending credits of Oscar and Friends occurs with the Broadcasting Fee info still appearing after the NZ on Air logo turns over to the TV3 logo from this era.
 * The text's animation takes place on the upper corner, where on the bottom, Eric the Goldfish (their former mascot), appears wiping in the words "With the Help of your Broadcasting Fee." and also blows some bubbles while he does that position.

3rd Logo (2008-2021?)
Nickname: "The Audiowave"

Logo: On a black background, cyan audio waves draw out as a few form a oblong shape. A few more multi-colored ones start to emerge as a few more audio waves draw across the screen and the wave starts to draw in letters. The sun rises over silhouetted mountains and helps form up the rest of the new logo. It consists of 2 cut-off hill shapes, going from orange to blue, which form a valley below. "NZ On Air" can be seen in a large rounded font, with the Maori translation below in smaller print. The waves then eventually disappear and the logo shines a bit.

FX/SFX: The audio, mountain, and the words.

Music/Sounds: Xylophone music as well as an announcer narrating Supporting local content so you can see more of New Zealand on Air., sometimes the same one as before.

Availability: Common.

4th Logo (2021- )
Nickname: "Maori to English III"

Logo: On a white background, the Maori text "Irirangi te Motu" appears in the same font as before one-by-one, sliding to the left as a blue/red gradient wave starts to form and shifts around. As this happens, a spew of green/navy blue gradient goo is form and rotates around the words, splitting off and briefly forming an rounded version of New Zealand, before "NZ On Air" starts flipping in one-by-one as well. While this happens, the hills-and-valley logo forms up beside it, only this time in a blue gradient color. It stays on screen for about a second before the letters flip and fade away, and the hills disappear.

FX/SFX: The blobs, the words flipping in.

Music/Sounds: Same as the 3rd logo, although no announcer is present.

Availability: Current. Seen on shows such as What Now? and Tagata Pasifika.
