Background[]
Currently known as Télé-Québec, this company is a Canadian French language public educational television network available in the province of Quebec. Think of it as a Quebec equivalent to not made by PBS.
Also this production logo is French not English.
Logos[]
1st logo (1968-1975)[]
On a black background three shapes - one green, one red, and one blue - appear on the top of the screen one by one. Then three circles appear between the shapes, those being in yellow, cyan and purple. What's about to be the finished result looks like a cylinder-like design, a-la the GPB logo of the 1970s. While the circles appear, the word "RADIO-QUEBEC" (with a tilde above the first E of "QUEBEC") zooms in below the logo in a choppy fashion.
Variant[]
- One of the variants had the shape of the logo zooming in and spinning until it covers the most part of the screen. The logo is also on a different hue than the original ident. The name of the company then would fade in front of the logo.
- There's also a still variant.
2nd logo (1975-1981)[]
Depending on the ident, it would feature some 2D animated logo with flashing, spinning, waving, zooming and other movement, which is rather hard to describe.
3rd logo (1988-1996)[]
On a dark sky, we see a 3D transparent cylinder with red, green, and blue segments. The cylinder now rotates to the background, revealing the logo.
Music/Sounds[]
1st logo[]
A 9-note synth theme that ends with a dissonant binaural tone.
Music/Sounds Variants[]
- Sometimes, there is an announcer.
2nd logo[]
An almost purely synthesized light jazz tune, almost sounding like "elevator music". The first track is actually called "One Note Samba", made by Perrey & Kingsley. The second track is called "Lover's Concerto" (1975) made by the same music group.
3rd logo[]
A jazz theme, with a voiceover announcer saying "Ici Radio-Québec" at the end of the ID.
Scare Factor[]
1st logo[]
It depends:
- Standard Variant: Low to nightmare. The dissonance at the ending will make some pretty uncomfortable, along with the weird logo design and company name zooming in on the black background.
- Zoom-In Variant: Medium to nightmare. This is scarier than the normal variant, due to the logo zooming in V of Doom-style and staying even more closer than usual along with the jingle still being used. The spinning may also put some off.
- Still variant: Medium to high, as the logo seems tamer without the animation. Though the jingle still being used whilst echoing, followed by the lack of animation, darkness and logo being closer to the screen make this also somewhat scarier than the original to certain people. The lack of the company name may also put some off.
- Low for the announcer variant. The sudden appearance of the announcer is quite startling, but it's a lot tamer due to the voice drowning out the eerie note at the end.
But aside from all that, the scare factor lowers to whoever is used to it.
2nd logo[]
Low to high. This logo is almost nothing like what one would see in the '70's, but this may be a favorite of some due to the trippy animation and music score. It is also tamer when compared to the previous logo. Minimal to low for those used to it.
3rd logo[]
None. Much tamer than the 1st logo.
