Key: Additions Deletions
San Diego, California
1st (known) Logo:
(1977-1984)
Logo: On a black background, we see a light blue "KPBS" in the standard PBS typeface with a blue glow around it. The "KPBS" shines throughout the logo. A yellow cursive stylized "San Diego" is written out (a la the ALMI logo) as the outline of the letters flashes at the viewer, at sort of a tilted position (a la the Celebrity Home Entertainment logo). Once the "San Diego" is completed, the outline flashing goes back into the words.
FX: The shining, "writing" and flashing. All typical 80's computer effects. Not too bad, though.
Music/Sounds: An ascending, and then descending, synthesized piano crescendo. Ends with what sounds like a synthesized French horn note.
Availability: Can be seen if your station has older prints, otherwise extinct.
Scare Factor: Minimal; it might suprise you the first time you see it, but it's mostly harmless.
2nd Logo
(1993- )
Logo: On a shady gray background, we see the current KPBS logo, consisting of a blue "K", purple "P", gold "B", and red "S" overlapping each other, flying from the top to the center. "San Diego", in a cheap Helvetica font, flies underneath the logo.
FX: The flying in of the logo.
Cheesy Factor: Very boring animation.
Music/Sounds: As far as I can tell, only known to have the closing theme played over it.
Availability: I've seen this at the end of "Bloopy's Buddies" and a cooking TV show starring Debbi Fields (yes, you read right! :-)). I don't know where else to find it (NOTE: Thanks to Wikipedia, I found out that the cooking show Mrs. Fields did was called Great American Desserts, and I do recall KPBS producing it, it came after the Reid/Land "Space" logo)!
Scare Factor: None; it's boring, and people might like the previous logo more.
