Rede Globo Station ID's (Brazil)

Background: Rede Globo (Portuguese: [ˈʁedʒi ˈɡlobu], Globe Network), or simply Globo, is a Brazilian free-to-air television network, launched by media proprietor Roberto Marinho on 26 April 1965. It is owned by media conglomerate Grupo Globo, being by far the largest of its holdings. Globo is the largest commercial TV network in South America and the second-largest commercial TV network in annual revenue worldwide just behind the American ABC Television Network and the largest producer of telenovelas.Globo is headquartered in the Jardim Botânico neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro, where its news division is based. The network's main production studios are located at a complex dubbed Estúdios Globo, located in Jacarepaguá. It is composed of 122 owned and affiliate television stations throughout Brazil plus its own international networks, Globo TV International and TV Globo Portugal. In 2007, Globo moved its analog operations to high-definition television production for digital broadcasting. Rede Globo is one of the largest media companies in the world, and produces around 2,400 hours of entertainment and 3,000 hours of journalism per year in Brazil. Through its network, the broadcaster covers 98.6% of Brazil's territory. Recognized for its production quality, the company has already been presented with 14 international Emmys. The international operations of Globo include seven pay-per-view television channels and a production and distribution division that distributes Brazilian sports and entertainment content to more than 190 countries around the world.In Brazil, Globo TV presently reaches 99.5% of potential viewers, practically the entire Brazilian population, with 122 broadcasting stations that deliver programming to more than 183 million Brazilians. The network has been responsible for the 20 most-watched TV programs broadcast on Brazilian television, including Avenida Brasil, a 2012 record-breaking telenovela that reached 50 million viewers and was sold to 130 countries.

1st Logo (1965-1966)

Logo: We see the Rede Globo logo tucked into the right corner of the screen. There are black rays "shooting out" from the logo. "TV GLOBO CANAL 4" is seen to the left.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: A tense string theme with an announcer who says, "Canal 4 cada vez mais perto de você" (Channel 4, getting closer to you).

Availability: Long extinct. The only videos on YouTube are remakes.

Scare Factor: Low to medium. Seeing a logo like this in 1965 would prove unsettling for many, but it is far from nightmare fuel.

2nd Logo (1966-1969) Logo: We see an arrow move to the left on the screen. This arrow eventually forms into a giant 4, which has a space inside where the lines in the 4 "connect". The Globe is inside of this square. The camera zooms in on the Globe.

FX/SFX/Cheesy Factor: The arrow transforming, and the zoom-in. Very choppy animation, but this was common at the time.

Music/Sounds: A drum fanfare, followed by a Brazilian announcer saying "No ar, mais um campeao de audiencia Brasil no seu Canal 4" ("On air, another audience champion is on your Channel 4."), followed by an ascending UFO sound.

Availability: Long extinct.

Scare Factor: Low to high. The music, announcer, fast zoom-in, and UFO sounds can be disturbing to some. Things are only getting worse with the next logo, however...

3rd Logo (1969-1975) Logo: On a black background, we see some lips with a sunburst card over it's downwards border. The lips then zoom out and a speech bubble appears, saying "NOTICIA". The sunburst card then dissappears and then we see the upper lip say "AMOR". Then we see a woman, which looks to the left. A text saying "EMOCAO" appears on the left side of the screen, but in a vertical way. The text now turns intol "ALEGRIA". We see a star zooming right at us, and finally we see the Globe finally appear morphing from the stars, staying a few quite seconds until two stars with the words "O QUE E BOM ESTÁ NA GLOBO" ("WHAT'S GOOD IS ON GLOBO".), forming one by one by the singers, while squashing. The globe then dissapears and the text and the stars zooms out to us.

FX/SFX: The appearances of the sequences not mentioned and the globe, along with the words and stars around it.

Cheesy Factor: The animation, remniscent of the Hanna-Barbera cartoons. even if expected for the time and place. The quality seems too weird and the only clip remaining in high quality is a cutted version of it. Also, the font used in the texts seems pretty tacky.

Music/Sounds: A small violin ditty, then a group of singers singing the words surrounding the Globe (See Logo) as they appear, along with a big band theme.

Availability: Extinct. Seen on programs from the time, but there's no way that those would be available. In fact, there's no high-quality version of this on YouTube, except for one, which is brief and cutted out.

Scare Factor: Medium to high, bordering on nightmare. This has scared quite a numerous amount of poor Brazilians, with the chorus sounding "ghostly" (Although this might be due to film deterioration) and the animation being as choppy and imposing as it is.

The rest TBA.
