Surrounding the borders of the logo are colored pencil scribbles consisting of the colors grey, green, blue, yellow, and orange. Also on the background is the orange word "Kids" which is scrambled around the screen. A folded in paper cube rolls in from the right center of the screen and stops in the center. The cube unfolds to reveal the WGBH logo which is solid and colored blue. The screen zooms out as the "Kids" text bounces towards the bottom right of the WGBH logo and settles. The cube continues to unfold turning the background into a white paper background. A yellow "firework" in the shape of an asterisk explodes on the top right of the logo. Another purple asterisk firework explodes in the bottom right. The "Kids" text wiggles around throughout the logo. After the fireworks explode, the logo stops zooming out and freezes before fading to black.FX/SFX: The cube rolling in and unfolding, the word "Kids" jumping into its place, and the "fireworks." Simple computer animation, but still creative.Music/Sounds: The tail end of the WGBH music accompanied by a playful techno rendition of the music with a beat in the background.Availability: Current.

A shorter variant exists where it cuts to when the two slanted lines appear.FX/SFX/Cheesy Factor: The ripple, the glowing text wiping in, and the spark.

The background reveals to be the first L in "WILLtv" in a Belwe Bold font, which zooms out to the center on a gray-black gradient background with "channel 12" on the bottom of "WILLtv". "channel 12" glows after, while "Urbana" and "The Broadcasting Services of the University of Illinois" fade in under it. "WILLtv" glows, then "channel 12" glows again. It repeats 4 times and it gets faster.Variants: On local shows, we just have "WILLtv" zooming out and "channel 12" is replaced with "presents".FX/SFX: The zooming out of "12" and "WILLtv". The camouflaging of "12". The glowing of "WILLtv" and "channel 12".Done by Alpha Cine.Music/Sounds: A dreamy and mellow synth theme. Local shows have an announcer saying "(show) is a local production of WILL-TV, Channel 12." or a short version of the dreamy theme.Availability: Seen on local programs, like Talking Point.

Background: WIPB is a PBS affiliate located in Muncie, Indiana. It went on the air on October 31, 1971.1st logo(1984-1986)Nickname: "Stripe Background" Logo: Against a brown background, we see the letters "WIPB", in a gray CG Omega font, positioned against a rectangle containing five gold stripes and four silver stripes. Underneath, the white text "Muncie, Indiana", in the Korrina font (the font you see that displays the text of the answers on Jeopardy!, as well as the font used within The Joy of Painting), types in below.FX/SFX: Apart from the typing in of the "Muncie, Indiana" text, it's really just a still (and quite boring) logo.Music/Sounds: A three-note descending synthesizer tune that plays four times followed by a very long synth note held down throughout with a synth "whoosh". It sounds like a homage to the WGBH theme. This tune was also used on the WPSX (now WPSU) logo of the '80s.Availability: Might be seen on old tapes of The Joy of Painting. However, this logo is generally taken out on newer DVD releases and YouTube prints of the show.Editor's Note: None.2nd logo(1986-1994)Logo: Just a stylized number 49 in red with a silver outline, with WIPB in silver below that and Muncie in the same font underneath.

"Harrisburg" and "Presents" fade in below.FX/SFX: The logo flying in.Music/Sounds: An upbeat synth-pop tune.Availability: At the start of Big Comfy Couch episodes from this era on PBS.Editor's Note: The zooming in of "WITF" could put people off.2nd Logo(1990-1996)Logo: On a background of red, green, and blue stripes going diagonal, we see a small "WITF 33 HARRISBURG" on a blue diamond in the far right.FX/SFX: None.Music/Sounds: None.Availability: In tandem with the 1st and 3rd logos, was seen on Computer Chronicles, often replacing the KCSM logo. (There may be episodes that have both the KCSM and WITF logos at the start of the show, but in-credit texts were at the end)Editor's Note: None, it's just boring.3rd Logo(1994-1998)<iframe frameborder="0" height="225" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/unknown/d78d75527171d2f43347dd933561eb6675a6b66e" width="298"></iframe>Logo: We see the same WITF logo, but colored gold, and the orange dot looking brighter.

"H A R R I S B U R G" fades in below.FX/SFX: The spotlight shining on the logo.Music/Sounds: A mellow piano and saxophone tune, somewhat in the style of Kenny G.Availability: At the start of Big Comfy Couch episodes on PBS from this era.Editor's Note: None.4th Logo(1998-2000)Logo: Against a black background, a picture of the Earth zooms away from the viewer, untilting itself as it does so, uncovering the same WITF logo colored steel gray this time and dotting the "I". A light passes below as "Harrisburg" fades in.FX/SFX: The Earth zooming out, the light passing below.Music/Sounds: A quick synth-techno tune.Availability: Like the previous logo, this is also seen at the end ofBig Comfy Couchepisodes on PBS from this era (Nashville Public TV now produces the show in the U.S.).Editor's Note: The Earth zooming away quickly can startle a viewer.
WJCT

Background: WJCT-TV is a PBS affiliate located in Jacksonville, Florida. It was launched on September 10, 1958 and was an NET affiliate until 1970. WJCT-TV also has a radio network known as "WJCT-FM" and are both owned by WJCT, Inc.1st Logo(1982-1993)Nickname: "Skyline Fireworks"Logo: Set against the Jacksonville skylines at dusk (the sky looksyellowish-brown), we seewhite-colored fireworks shooting into the sky. Suddenly, aredrectangular frame shoots toward the viewer at a fast pace, and then, we see adark redstarburst appearing within it, along with "WJCT", coloredblue, below the starburst, and "Jacksonville" at the bottom. The logo shines all over.FX/SFX: The fireworks, and the starburst shooting.Music/Sounds: A somber, four-note synth-chime tune that kinda rips off NBC's famous jingle. Even the notes are similar (It's G-E-E-C.)Availability: A few Jacksonville-based cooking shows had this logo on it. Shows produced by WJCT don't seem to be on many PBS channels that often. If you have any tapes of Jacksonville Jazz Festival specials airing on PBS from back then, you should be able to see this logo.Editor's Note: None.2nd Logo(1993-1998)<iframe frameborder="0" height="211" src="http://wikifoundrytools.com/wiki/closinglogos/widget/unknown/03523adf8fcf0fd2309801f8e6f1ea68a4ed9cc7" width="281"></iframe>Nickname: "Glass WCJT"Logo: On a black background, the camera pans down from 3 glass copies of the fireworks logo from before, shining many different colors. As the copies straighten out, a glass rectangle with "WJCT" embossed on the bottom flips in. The fireworks stick to the back and the rectangle flips around to reveal a large "7" over the logo as it shines. "JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA" flips in below.FX/SFX: The rotating logo. Fairly simple CGI animation, but it is advanced for the time, as you would see this in the late 1990's/early 2000's. Nothing too cheesy here, so it's much better than the previous logo.Music/Sounds: A rising synth is heard at first. This is followed by a short piano tune and a timpani roll. Chimes are heard when it shines. It sounds very similar to the OS/2 Warp 4 startup sound.Music/Sounds Variant: On a 1993 episode of The Pollcats, Paul Van Osdol says "From WJCT, channel 7, Jacksonville, this is The Pollcats."Availability: Rare. Seen on The Pollcats, which can be viewed in the American Archive of Public Broadcasting.Editor's Note: The dark vibe will surprise a few, but other than that, it is completely harmless, clean, and superior to the previous logo.3rd Logo(1998-2000)Logo: TBAFX/SFX: TBAMusic/Sounds: TBAAvailability: TBAEditor's Note: TBA4th Logo(2000-20??)Logo: TBAFX/SFX: TBAMusic/Sounds: TBAAvailability: TBAEditor's Note: TBA5th Logo(20??-)TBA!
