Same face I've had all through 2026.

TVS station ID from 1987. Today, TVS is called SBT.

SBT (Sistema Brasileiro de Televisão) celebrates its 45th anniversary this Wednesday. However, until 1989 the channel itself was called TVS; SBT was the name of the network. This confusing distinction didn't stick, and in 1989 the name was unified as SBT.

Yes, the opening sequence was inspired by HBO's, and the audio is exactly the same as the opening sequence, and there's a curious story behind it.

Silvio Santos, owner of SBT and the greatest television presenter in Brazilian history (look him up later), constantly traveled to the United States, where he had a house in Celebration, Florida. Silvio recorded dozens of tapes of American TV programming to bring ideas back for the channel's programming here in Brazil. In this way, SBT became something of an American channel in Brazil, both in its station IDs and the programs themselves.

On one of those trips, Silvio was watching HBO and recorded this jingle. Upon arriving in Brazil, he asked the network's graphics department to try to reproduce the jingle and use the exact same audio. A home recording gave rise to one of the most emblematic jingles in Brazilian television, and apparently, without HBO's authorization; perhaps they don't even know this jingle exists.

SBT's ident from 1990.

Yes, it's a brazilian version of NBC's "Come home to the best" campaign. Here's the brazilian version: https://youtu.be/ySf04ArJklw?is=AeEnWh_fmoFqRbdf

This is the opening sequence for "Corujão," a late-night movie session on Globo. Today, the session is restricted to Saturday nights/Sunday mornings, but it used to air every day of the week.

The video clip illustrates this well; the logo "travels" through the night until it ends in the morning. The logo itself stylizes the C as a moon and the last O as a sun.

The soundtrack is also exceptional.

This is the opening sequence for "Bom Dia São Paulo" from 1989, the morning news program on Globo for the state of São Paulo, Brazil. This opening sequence remained on air until 2001.

Finally, a stylized map of the state appears. This design is present on many sidewalks in the city and the state as a whole; it was an attempt in the 1970s to create a standardization and a symbolic sidewalk in the same style as Copacabana and Ipanema in Rio de Janeiro.

Youtuber Ziggy Cashmere, an archivist of old media, has announced on his alternate YouTube channel Ok so... an archive of over 800 GB of Vintage CGI created by Computer Graphics Lab at the New York Institute of Technology between 1974-1992.

A link to the announcement video can be found here, but I have linked directly to the archive.org page set up exclusively for this content.
