It’s gonna take a bit of explaining, so bear with me.
You guys know Al Jazeera, right? The news channel that everyone loves. Well uh… in the 2000s, they had other non news related television networks. A series of sports channels, a documentary channel, and… a children’s channel (we’ll call it JCC for short). Depending on the time period, at night they don’t broadcast programs at all, and instead they aired an animated test card that looped all night long. Before 2009, it looked like the EBU color bars, but they actually made it seem alive. I don’t remember that one very fondly. From 2009 to about 2012-13, it was just the channel logo in a night setting, but with extremely soothing music (a remix of the channel’s theme song) and sound effects that actually genuinely made me fall asleep on multiple occasions.
I actually managed to find recordings of both test cards on this French website, right here.
