The Discovery Department

Logo sketches and descriptions by Rauser

Background: The Discovery Department brand, or DDEP, was formed in 2008 to fulfill the scientific broadcasting from AGS Media (something like Discovery Channel). When AGS formed CNV Channel, the scientific and cognitive releases had this logo plastered in closing credits. DDEP is hardly a company, but mainly a cap brand.

1st Logo

(2008 - 2009)

Nickname: "The Plate in the Sky"

Logo: On cloudy landscape, the plate moves from beyond and stands still without rotating. The text is being wiped on the plate by several quick light streaks. The picture fades.

FX/SFX: The box flight, the text appearing.

Music/ Sounds: Wind and wiping sounds. None for the still version.

Variants: The still version exists as well. This case, the word "Presented by" appears above the plate.

Availability: Still intact on net-released stuff and the recordings from the CNV Channel. Seen in closing credits. The still version is much more common.

Scare Factor: Low.

2nd Logo(May 2009 - ....)

As the cognitive programs are now just the part of channel's schedule, the logo was wiped from the closing credits and replaced with the text "CREATED BY DISCOVERY DEPARTMENT". The common corporate identifier has been plastered over, like its fellows "CNV WEATHER", "CNV CARTOONS" etc.

Nickname: "The CNV Channel Divisions"

Logo: The template is common for all CNV Channel schedules. The outline fades in, then the sphere. A lens flare moves to the sphere and the word DISCOVERY fades.

FX/SFX: Everything named above.

Music/ Sounds: Soft wind chimes.

Availability: On CNV Channel before the corresponding pack.

Scare Factor: Low.
