Bozeman, Montana


1st (known) Logo
(2004?-2007)

Nickname: "The Town Square"

Logo: We fly over a town square in Bozeman, Montana, with "KUSM" in orange, sliding up, over "Bozeman". The logo is in the bottom-left corner.

FX: All live-action, save for the logo sliding up.

Music/Sounds: A quiet piano jingle that sounds eerily similar to the music in KUED's logo.

Availability: On episodes of Painting Wild Places, at least.

Scare Factor: Low.

2nd Logo
(2007-)

Nickname: "Dark Laser Globe"

Logo: Correct me if have the description wrong, but I'll try my best to describe it: In the background, we spot a different-looking globe against a background (different from the globe you see in the '80s logos of NBC Nightly News, Antena 3 TV in Spain, Converge Video in the Netherlands, Westcon Home Video in the UK and Sweden, and RCTV in Venezuela, and any others I'm missing) shining all over. In front of that, we see "KUSM" in a futuristic font zooming in, over a small circle P-head PBS logo and "Montana PBS" in a black rectangle. "A Presentation Of..." can be seen over "KUSM".

FX: The globe shining and text zooming.

Music/Sounds: A futuristic synthesizer jingle.

Availability: To see this logo, watch any new episode of Painting Wild Places on select PBS stations (if your station can carry that show, that is).

Scare Factor: Low; I could see some getting creeped out by the darkness and music, but it shouldn't be overly-scary like the logos of WGBH and Georgia Public Television.
