1st Logo, Idents (1997-2001)

Visuals: Basically station IDs used by the channel, but the end result is the same.

• ID 1: There is a couple running and seeing each other. Then the camera cuts to see even more people walking, then the male person of the couple kicks a can to the screen, which as the Trouble logo on it. The screen breaks, and the Trouble logo appears at the middle of the crack.
• ID 2: There is a party with people and a DJ dancing. The camera zooms in and out 3 times while sonic waves appear. Then the screen cracks, with the Trouble logo appearing.
• ID 3: There are many people in a swimming pool. A kid then throws water into the camera, and when the water hits it, it reveals the Trouble logo.

Technique: Live-action with a little of CGI.

Audio: IDs 1 and 2 used breakbeat music. ID 3 used a techno-like tune.

2nd Logo, Signoff (1997-2001)

• 

Visuals: There is the Trouble logo from before, except it is on a black background and is changing colors frantically, but normally consists of the T being orange and the circle being purple. There are other lines and shapes moving around on the background. The logo has a "deteriorated film" effect throughout. This transitions into the Bravo logo.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: Lasers shooting off, deep humming, disc-scratching effects, and static that builds up.
