Digital on-screen graphic in the fictional world

A digital on-screen graphic is a watermark-like station logo that most channels use it, overlaying it on a portion of an area, to identify the channel. This page describes the usage in the fictional world.

Republic of Guy
The Republic of Guy has used a digital on-screen graphic since 1982. On October 1 at 4:00pm, EVB One started showing a bug on the top-right corner of the screen (this top corner tradition has began exactly at this moment) during a 3:45pm newscast. This trend was soon expanded to EVB Two. The on-screen bugs were displayed during the whole day, but since 1995 they began disappearing on commercial breaks and the sign off period. In 1998, EVB News launched, displaying a logo on the bottom left corner of the screen.

On October 16, 2000, EVB switched all its channels' logos to the bottom right corner. Before that, on February 29 of that year, The One switched to the bottom left corner of the screen. Most logos are white and transparent, but some channels show opaque full-color logos (such as National Geographic Channel and Fox Life, which changes color of the speech bubble every time a different program).

Channels do not usually include animations before and after the commercial breaks (the most notable example is The One, which used a folding (before break) and unfolding (after break) logo transition from August 4, 2003 to March 23, 2012). Nowadays, The One uses an illusion logo removal in commercial idents where the camera moves indirectly to the cube, which was later investigated as sudden removal of the logo during the first moments of the idents, with the video bug being identical to the on-screen bug itself.

The following table shows channels showing logos in these distinct corners (this doesn't include cable channels broadcasting on more than one country, those who don't have localized commercials):
