WKNO

Background: WKNO is a PBS station affiliate located in Memphis, Tennessee.1st (known) Logo:(1990-2011) <iframe frameborder="0" height="167" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/unknown/a010138d9944f784e4bfadd55d558f11723a89cb" width="296"></iframe>Nickname: "Memphis at Dusk", "Aethestic Memphis"Logo: On a CGI background of Memphis during the evening and seen from the Auction Avenue bridge, complete with (on the right) skyline, bridge over water, and the Memphis Pyramid surrounded by trees on the left (the Pyramid Arena), we see a giant "WKNO" in Antique-Olive font, and colored silver, in 3D, over the Hernando de Soto Bridge, next to the Pyramid Arena. It makes a reflection in the water, and "Memphis" writes itself out in a small salmon pink cursive font under "WKNO", and it too, reflects in the water, which has small waves. Then, we fade out.Variant: Before Mono sound became obsolete on WKNO, for stereo shows, a pair of headphones to the left of "In Stereo", zooms in near the bottom-right corner while being revealed with a page turn effect.FX/SFX: Other than "Memphis" writing out, along with the waves, it's really just a still logo.Music/Sounds: Usually either silent or has the closing theme of a show playing over at the end. When used as a program intro tag, it uses either a majestic synthesizer tune or a glockenspiel riff.Availability: Burt Wolf's cooking shows on PBS tend to have this logo, as well as reruns of Justin Wilson's cooking show produced by Mississippi ETV. You can also see it on He Touched Me: The Gospel Music of Elvis Presley, but the reairing plastered it with the 2009 logo.Editor's Note: Despite being a nice-looking logo, it became very dated during the second half of its lifespan, somehow lasting until 2011.2nd Logo(2009-)TBA!

Background: WLIW is a PBS affiliate located in Garden City, New York.1st Logo(1998-2002)Logo: On a black background, above the "BBC World News" logo, we see the logo of WLIW, colored green, over "New York" in a thinner font, while a white light passes through the logo.FX/SFX: The light passing through the logo.Music/Sounds: A synthesizer laser zap, but it's hard to hear as the announcer says "BBC World News is brought to you by WLIW New York.".Availability: TBAEditor's Note: None.2nd Logo(2002-)Logo: Against a gray wall background, we see the logo of WLIW, colored dark blue this time, but from a 20th-Century Fox-esque angle. It centers itself and we also see a thinner "21" next to "WLIW". "New York" is underneath the logo, and when it finally does center itself, "Presents" is written in a pink cursive font on the logo.FX/SFX: The movement of the camera and "Presents" writing itself out.Music/Sounds: A synth-orchestra jingle.Availability: Seen on Frank Clarke's "Simply Painting".Editor's Note: None.

The fact that the logo was made in 1986 makes it extremely dated for its lifetime.Music/Sounds: A warbly Moog synthesizer tune that repeats four times and gets higher in pitch. A little like the NBC jingle.Availability: Extinct.
