Kentucky Educational Television
1st Logo(GED variant)
(1977-1985)
Logo: We see the words "ket" in a strange blue font spinning up to the screen on a yellow BG. "KENTUCKY EDUCATIONAL TV" appears below. On the GED-based programs it produced, the logo would fold away sideways, causing the BG to turn brown as the yellow letters "ged" (arranges in a strange way) unfold. Then, they would fold away downward, causing the BG to turn yellow again as several blue "general educational development"'s are wiped onto the screen. They then dissolve together, turning the BG blue, and the episode name appears on the screen. If there is a stand-alone version of this ident, please let me know!
FX/SFX/Cheesy Factor: Rough Scanimate effects.
Music/Sounds: It begins with a UFO-like sound, followed by two long synth notes, a descending spaceship sound, and ending with a three-note synth trumpet sound.
Availability: Long extinct on TV.
Scare Factor: Low to medium.
1st Logo
(1968-1975)
Nickname: "KET"
Logo: On a black background, we see the KET letters, in a strange font, appearing one by one(with the" T" appearing first on the right, the "K" on the left, and finally the "E" in the middle). When the animation is finished, the KET letters rapidly spins around, and the following reads, "KENTUCKY EDUCATIONAL TELEVISION" on top of each other, like this:
KENTUCKY
EDUCATIONAL
TELEVISION
...and once that appears, the logo is still for a few moments before finally fading out.
FX/SFX: The KET letters appearing, then rapidly spinning around.
Music/Sounds: The sound of a five-note drumbeat, in steady pace, which is then followed by two rapid synthesized drumbeats, as they almost echo and fade out.
Availability: Seen on any KET produced programs at the time.
Scare Factor: Low.
2nd Logo
(1975-1982)
Nickname: "KET Trail" "Rainbow Trail"
Logo: We see, on a black background, a trail that contains the letter "K" in blue zooming away from us, which is then followed by a "E", leaving a trail behind it, only in yellow, and at the exact same time, a "T" in green, animates the same way until all three letters meet with each other and stop. The KET logo is in the same style(or font) as the last logo. Then, we see a marquee design around the KET letters, and a copyright date for the respective year.
FX:/SFX: The KET letters zooming out, and the marquee design.
Music: A crecendoing fluttering synthesized horn sounder, followed by a four-note piano tune that plays at the same time, which sounds like something from an Atari video game.
Availability: Seen on any KET produced program of this time.
Scare Factor: Low to minimum. The animaton of the logo, and the music may get to some.
3rd Logo:
(1982-1985)
Nickname: "KET Puzzle" "Stylized KET"
Logo: On a black background, we see two stylized shapes coming to the center of the screen from the top right, and bottom right side of the screen, respectively. As we see that, then another figure comes from the top left side(which contains a HUGE portion of the logo), and a couple pieces from the left and right sides of the screen. When all of the pieces are jointed together, they form a stylized KET logo. Then, the words "The Kentucky Network" appear under the KET logo, via a flash effect.
FX/SFX: The KET logo being formed., the shapes forming into the KET logo.
Music/Sounds: A simple soft rock tune, that contains a soft guitar jingle and cymbals that crash throughout the logo.
Availability: Seen on any KET produced programs seen around THIS era.
Scare Factor: None, possibly. It's a relaxing logo.
4th Logo
(1985-1987)
Nickname: "KET", "Drawing KET", "KET Snake"
Logo: On a black background, we see the letters "KET" being drawn in a stylized font. Then, "The Kentucky Network" appears under it.
FX/SFX: "KET" drawing.
Music/Sounds: TBA
Availability: Extinct on TV; used to appear on the math and writing programs of the GED series, which got replaced by the next logo below.
Scare Factor: TBA
5th Logo
(1987-1994)
Nickname: "CGI KET", "Zooming KET"
Logo: Against an orange background, white flares bring forth an abstract "KET", then it shines all over, and "THE KENTUCKY NETWORK" fades in below.
FX/SFX: "KET" zooming out.
Music/Sounds: A synth whoosh, then a three-note horn tune, and one drumbeat. In the later years, it used a rapid crescending, then decrescending xylophone sounder, with three light notes heard at the end.
Availability: On old GED-based programs (it plasters the previous logo on the Writing and Math programs of the GED series, and some PBS affiliates still air the GED series [and some air it with Spanish dubbing]), and the entire "Learn to Read" series that still airs in reruns on WNET.
Scare Factor: Medium to high, because of its sudden appearance.
