1st ID (1981-1982)

Visuals: On a starfield background with a black-blue gradient, nine glowing multicolored stars zoom in from the center, forming a 3x3 grid of stars. The stars then flash, forming the TNT-9 logo (consisting of the periwinkle letters "TNT" in a wide font, with the Nine Network logo below it, with the nine in perwinkle, and the dots being replaced with the multicolored stars.), with a green glow on the logo.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: A guitar and bass tune, with a female choir singing "We're reaching on through, reaching for you, Channel Nine color."

2nd ID (1982-1984)

Visuals: On a zooming starfield background, the blue-cyan gradient text "STILL THE ONE" in the Pump Triline font (at upper and lower half), zooms in towards the screen. Then a 6x5 grid of glowing blue stars zoom out from the center, with a cyan trail effect. The grid then flashes, with the 1st and 2nd rows flashing afterwards, forming the "TNT" wordmark, the rest of the stars then flash, forming the TNT-9 logo from before (albeit in blue), with a light blue glow on the logo. The logo then shines, after 6 seconds, the logo flashes, forming the "STILL THE ONE" wordmark in blue, with a light blue glow, as the trail from the 6x5 grid of stars zoom in.

Variant: At the end of promos, the ident is shortened to when the logo forms and shines.

Technique: Backlit cel animation.
