KBYU
Provo, Utah

1st (known) Logo
(1985-1988)


Nickname: "The Mountain"

Logo: We see a cheap-looking mountain against a black-blue gradient background. On the mountain, we see the number 11 (KBYU's channel number) in outline form next to a blue "Kbyu" (that's how I saw it), in a Bauhaus93-like font, and over "P R O V O-------U T A H" (written out like you see it), and a light passes through it.

FX: Aside from the light, it's just a still logo, but an interesting one, nevertheless.

Music/Sounds: An orchestral tune that sounds like the beginning of Frank Gari's "Great News" music.

Availability: Seen on "Hooked on Aerobics" episodes of this era.

Scare Factor: Low; the darkness may be creepy to some.

2nd Logo
(1988-1993)
Nickname: "Diamond Flash"

Logo: On a dark blue-dark gray gradient background, we see the KBYU logo from the previous, but colored purple, and italicized, zooming in quickly. Then, a diamond-shaped flash of light occurs behind the logo, which is now over the small text "PROVO/SALT LAKE CITY".

FX: The logo zooming in, the flash

Music/Sounds: An echo-ey piano note, with a flourish before it ends.

Availability: See previous.

Scare Factor: Minimal.
