Houston, Texas

1st (known) Logo
(1983-1992)
Nickname: "Scary Gold 2"

Logo: On a black background, we see "KUHT" in a gold-colored outline font, along with "HOUSTON, TEXAS" below it (in blue), sliding from the top of the screen at a tilted position, then settling into place, a la Parade Video. Sparkles can be seen on the logo.

FX: The sliding of the logo...

Cheesy Factor: ...just plain simple, and the font looks rather ugly.

Music/Sounds: A timpani drumroll.

Availability: Might be seen on KUHT-produced shows of the period if your local station has older prints. Otherwise, extinct.

Scare Factor: Medium to high, because of the way the logo looks, along with the V of Doom-esque drumroll.

NOTE: KUHT later became Houston Public Television in 1993, so there will be a logo on that named company.
