TheR (Lost Idents)

Work in progress.

Links to get to learn more about theR: theR (Dream Fiction Wiki), theR (Wilson Wiki), theR (Dream Logos Wiki). Anyway, let's start with...

Spinning A (1935-1941)
Fading to a white screen and a black dot in the beginning leads the first seconds of the ident. The black dot in the middle moves like a piece of dust or a grain of rice. It starts zooming in and spins counterclockwise untill it becomes an A. When the A stops zooming in and spinning, it moves to the left, and the letters T, R, and U pop up, stacked on top of each over, in the Gill Sans Bold typeface. It was black and white, with no sound. Only seen in Braceletville. Rumors spread in 2001, 2010, 2014 and April 2021 that 8mm, 16mm film and VHS (specifically NTSC-B/NTSC-W/bvVIDEO) recordings containing the ident existed, but it was a hoax.

Status: COMPLETELY LOST. theR does not have this ident in their Archive Vault.

Domino (2001-2003, 2005)
Fading to a peice of paper and dominoes making a lowercase R leads the first seconds of the ident. After a few seconds, a hand with a plastic lead refill box topples the dominoes. Then, about 2 seconds later, the letters T, R, and U, the channel's number and what the channel serves for pops up. It is in color, and has jazz music playing in the background. The ident is found, albeit on VHS tape. No master tape footage of this ident exists at the moment. The sound of the found footage is also missing.

Status: PARTIALLY LOST. The sound from this ident is yet to be found.
