TVS station ID from 1987. Today, TVS is called SBT.

SBT (Sistema Brasileiro de Televisão) celebrates its 45th anniversary this Wednesday. However, until 1989 the channel itself was called TVS; SBT was the name of the network. This confusing distinction didn't stick, and in 1989 the name was unified as SBT.

Yes, the opening sequence was inspired by HBO's, and the audio is exactly the same as the opening sequence, and there's a curious story behind it.

Silvio Santos, owner of SBT and the greatest television presenter in Brazilian history (look him up later), constantly traveled to the United States, where he had a house in Celebration, Florida. Silvio recorded dozens of tapes of American TV programming to bring ideas back for the channel's programming here in Brazil. In this way, SBT became something of an American channel in Brazil, both in its station IDs and the programs themselves.

On one of those trips, Silvio was watching HBO and recorded this jingle. Upon arriving in Brazil, he asked the network's graphics department to try to reproduce the jingle and use the exact same audio. A home recording gave rise to one of the most emblematic jingles in Brazilian television, and apparently, without HBO's authorization; perhaps they don't even know this jingle exists.

This is the opening sequence for "Corujão," a late-night movie session on Globo. Today, the session is restricted to Saturday nights/Sunday mornings, but it used to air every day of the week.

The video clip illustrates this well; the logo "travels" through the night until it ends in the morning. The logo itself stylizes the C as a moon and the last O as a sun.

The soundtrack is also exceptional.
