'''MBN (formerly known as MegaManila Television/9TV) is an English-language Filipino-American television station. It was launched on December 15, 1967 as MegaManila9, serving the Mega Manila (excluding the MIMAROPA region) and the Western US.

3rd ID (November 22, 1976 - December 16, 1981)
Nickname: "The Mega Manila Map"

Logo: We see two lines with the trail effect forming the map. The trails then shrink until the map glints. 3 stars then appeared on three locations (all of which are regional centers of each region); San Fernando, Pampanga, Manila, and Calamba, Laguna.

FX/SFX: The trailing effect, the glint, is a common example of Scanimation.

Music/Sounds: A series of decreasing pings repeated twice that are immediately followed by a synthesized fanfare. (YLE TV1 | 1987-1992)

Availability: Rare, was only used on some occassions before programs.

4th ID (December 27, 1981 - December 31, 1989)
Nickname: "The 3D Mega Manila Map"

Logo: We pan to the gridded map of Mega Manila. We slowly zoom away from it, revealing the whole map. It later glows, while one diagonal line strokes in and a 3D "9" slowly turns around to reveal itself. Both the lines and the "9" swings away while we see a grid forming itself and revealing the bottom grids and the top grids. Three shapes (a triangle, a circle and a cube) spins into the center and glows. The camera then turns away from the shapes, then the wordmark, "MegaManila9" zoomz out from the bottom and glints, so did the three shapes we saw earlier. The camera then pans into the grid, making a transition to the gridded Mega Manila map zooming out. It turns into a solid map, then the wordmark, "MegaManila9" zooms in from the center.

FX/SFX: Nice early 80's CGI animation, however, it was a little choppy when the camera pans away from the shapes.

Music/Sounds: A jolly synth fanfare accompanied with choirs, lasers and whooshes. (RTP1 | 1986-1988)

Availability: Uncommon, bordering to rare. It was only seen during sign-ons and sign-offs.

5th ID (January 1, 1990 - December 31, 1997)
TBA

1st ID (September 30, 1975 - December 31, 1997)
Nickname: "The Big Nine"

Logo: We zoom out from the giant light blue "9", and while the layers of the "9" slides to the right which are arranged from a lighter tint to a darker tint., we see the words, "MegaManila Television" stacked on top of each other, glow at the bottom-right of the "9". the "9" shines/sparkles, and we zoom in back into the "9" as the layers leave their position.

Variations: There are three versions of the logo, but still have the main animation from it.


 * September 30, 1975 - December 25, 1979: The camera zooms out from the "9" quickly. There are only three layers. The text glows into the screen, and three sparkles appeared all around the logo. The logo is in a black-blue gradient background.
 * December 25, 1979 - November 2, 1987, September 1, 1991 - December 31, 1997: The camera zooms out from the "9" slowly and the animation was smooth. The text was already on screen and is slightly bigger than the first version. The "9" shines for a few seconds before the camera zooms into the "9". The logo is in a black-blue gradient background, albeit the gradient is a little higher than before.
 * November 3, 1987 - May 16, 1992: The logo zooms out slowly from the "9", but instead of the layers sliding only from the right, it slides in from all directions. The wordmark zooms out from the bottom-right corner of the screen. The logo is in a white-gray gradient background throughout.

FX/SFX: Nice 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: A series of decreasing pings repeated twice that are immediately followed by a synthesized fanfare. (YLE TV1 | 1987-1992)

Availability: Common. Throughout its 22-year run, it was widely popular at the time.
