Background

Aberdeen Cable was a British satellite television channel that ran in the early days of 1985, then lasted until the 10th October of 2001. Nothing much is known about it.

ID (Early 1985-1990s)

Visuals: On a black background, there is a scrolling black-light blue surface with teal glow at the distance. A crystalized rainbow glow can be seen from the distance. Three red tri-dimensional triangles fly and spin while being settled in place forming a flash to reveal three shapes in a style of a window in yellow, red and blue. The outlined text "ABERDEEN CABLE" can be seen from the bottom zooming out in a trailing effect, which flashes to reveal the complete text in white.

Variant: A version exists where the black background changes to gray, and the text is revealed in black.

Technique: CGI and scanimation.

Audio: A triumphant theme ending with a reversed clang.
