Visuals: On a grey background, a white CRT shape is seen, with a split along the center top, a curve along the top left side, and 2 points extending out from the top right corner, forming the abstract letters "Čt". Inside it are two opposite triangle shapes, one being white and other one being black.

Technique: Unknown.

Audio: Unknown.

Availability: As of the time this was edited, there's no video footage of this logo online, but only a screenshot from the official ČT (Czech ČST sucessor) website.

It then splits in half in a wavy form (forming the s) and the halves move slightly apart, also stretching the right side of the circle a bit. A television shape draws itself around it with a curve on the top right corner and 2 different lines sticking out from the top right corner, forming the logo. 6 lines, 2 green, 2 red and 3 blue appear from either side of the logo and zoom towards the front/sides of the screen before fading out and reappearing.
