So there's no clips yet but in the Autumn of 2020, VRT's second channel Canvas got a slight redesign.
The logo was kept but the 2 rectangles have been made 20% thinner.
The new look ditches all the colours of the 2015 look for a more minimalist black-white colour scheme with orange included as a sub-colour.
Old logo:

New logo:

Also VRT's press logos site has a new ZIP file with an included brandbook in Flemish showing off the new look in detail.
It can be found here on this link

The new look was also led by a new campaign with the slogan "Vroeg of laat kijk je Canvas" (Sooner or later, you'll watch Canvas)

This package is, without any doubt, one of the most influential TV graphic packages of the 90s, even if its use was short lived. Designed by fashion photographer and illustrator Jean-Paul Goude, it was used during the last-ditch attempt to save the channel, positioning as an upscale alternative to the more populist TF1, after years of lacking an identity and after the failure of a Berlusconi-like programming style in the French TV panorama. Still, the new programming was unsuccesful and its owner, the Lagardère family, declared the station bankrupt, resulting on its closure on April 12th, 1992 (a fact already very known by most of us).
Lenodal made an excellent and interesting interview with him about the making of and creative concept behind the new look.

These idents were one of the first works made by Swiss production company Frame Eleven, which now work with its main commercial rivals CH Media. On the occassion of its 25th anniversary, they published a compilation of additional idents, including some that are rare to find:

I’ve always loved that 7 promo from the graphics and transitions to the song, it made it seem vibrant, youthful, energised and appealing, dare I say, slightly better than the NBC package that it was inspired by!
As of today, the Dutch NPO 1 uses a special 'countdown to Eurovision' ident before and after the commercials breaks.

I really like the music with the mix of the NPO 1 sound and the Eurovision intro. Also nice that the official 'open up' graphics are used.
As you can see in the ident, there are 34 days left until the final.

A great way to promote what is going to be the biggest event NPO will cover and produce in its history. The official graphics taking over the existing NPO 1 presentation without changing any of the elements of the current graphic design concept of the NPO developed by Koeweiden Postma (now Total Design).
Going back to the States, Katie Couric introducing on Today the first set of the NBC 1993 idents, developed as part of their "The Stars are Back" fall season campaign (and later used by NBC Super Channel with different music cues). It includes mostly clean versions of the idents and interviews with their creators:

What an interesting piece, some have aged well, and others not so much. I love the idea of animators interpreting the logo, as seen over here with E4 over the years; it’s a shame that ITV Creates seems to use sculptors mainly to create logos (thought - it’s strange the most recent full time brands for the two biggest channels in the UK have been created by filming pieces which would usually be exhibited with Martin Parr’s photos and ITV Creates sculptures).
On a side note, that Today Show logo and theme tune at the end of the segment sounds and looks like something from the 1970s not 1993!

It is actually a part of the Today theme music package from the 1970s, composed by arranger and conductor Ray Ellis. Although, by then, no longer in regular use (since superseded by The Mission), it was by then used semi-regularly for specialist segments.
Back to the subject, there was an additional set of idents introduced in 1996. Unlike the former, these idents were produced in-house and were used in tandem with the original 1993 set of idents. In 1997, the idents were modified to include the NBC.com web address. Here are two reels of the entire ident set, which would be used until the 1998 idents took over that fall.
