1st Logo (2000s-April 2011)

• 

Visuals: The logo fades in to the Kanal D logo in 3D spinning across the screen with on top of a black-blue gradient. The trails of the spinning logo follow suit with circle trails going across the screen. The camera goes into the last trail which reveals the second part of the logo with the Kanal D logo on top of a black rectangle with "KANAL D" written on it under a blue box with "HOME VIDEO" written on it with a pink circle trail going around the logo. Then a swift streak of light hits the Kanal D logo and the gradient fades out.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A gated pad and two whooshes. The sound included in this logo is shortened version of the first D Productions logo, which originally had a reverb tail at the end.

Availability: Seen on older Kanal D Home Video DVDs and VCDs. ^[Examples?]

2nd Logo (April 2011-)

• 

Visuals: There is the same 3D logo spinning but on a black background. The logo slowly pans to center while trails of the "KANAL D" text, "HOME VIDEO" text, and a static version of the 3D logo can be seen hovering around. The trails gradually stops moving around and goes to the center of the screen while the 3D logo fades out while a gradient which mimics the backgrounds used in the 90's idents forms. The logo gets a streak of light before being in it's final position.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A 5-note jingle made up of a notes C, G, F, C, and a C above an octave which is followed by a synth pluck which hits the same C note the jingle left off while turning the cutoff lower. This is then followed by a saw pad made up of a normal saw wave and a slightly detuned saw wave first holding the note C, and then G, and a C note above an octave, forming a powerchord. There is also some windchime sounds.
