1st Logo (Startup/Closedown; February 1, 1953-1958)
![]() | This logo is currently missing in action. Please do not add reconstructions of the logo if any exist, as they are likely not accurate to the actual logo. Additionally, do not attempt to add a finalized description of the logo until it has been found in its entirety. |

to the right.
Technique: Unknown, but according to the available captures of the logo, most likely a mix of live-action and camera-controlled animation.
Audio: Unknown.
Availability: As of now, only 4 images can be found on the book "My History of Television Art - Exploring the Possibilities of Set Design and Images" (Japanese: 自分史 テレビ美術 ―セットデザインと映像の可能性を索めて) written by Kiyoshi Hashimoto. The logo probably survives on Japanese kinescopes of the period today.
2nd Logo (Startup; 1970-2001)
Visuals: On a sky is the flag of Japan waving. It later fades into a satellite dish rotating. A few seconds later is the white text NHK zoom in. After the NHK text zooms in, the text "総合テレビジョン" ("General Television") in white appears under it.
Later Variants:
- Starting in 1984, the video was re-recorded with videotape compared to film used in the 1970 variant, and the NHK and General Television text now has a black outline. The globe in the closing variant also does not fade out.
- In 1995, the NHK logo was changed, with three eggs with the letters "NHK" flipping in. The General Television Text is also smaller.
Technique: Live-action.

A few seconds after the "General Television" text zooms out, the globe fades out.
- Closedown (Educational TV variant): Same as its General counterpart, but after the NHK text zooms in, the text "総合テレビジョン" ("General Television") does not appear.
Variants: Same as the startup.
Technique: Live-action.
Audio: The national anthem of Japan, Kimigayo.
4th Logo (Startup; 2001-2006)

Technique: CGI for the Earth part, and live-action for the flag of Japan part.
Audio: Synthesized chorus music for the Earth part, and Kimigayo for the flag of Japan part.
