Tallahassee, Florida


1st (known) Logo
(1981-1992)
Nickname: "Flipping Florida"

Logo: On a faded dark teal background, a yellow map of the state of Florida flips in, with a red star on it at the top, representing Tallahassee's location, and hence being the capital. At the same time, "WFSU TALLAHASSEE", in red Helvetica font, and italicized, flips in and flies down, positioning beneath the map. At the end, the map comes into focus, and a white shadow is drawn around Florida.

SFX/Cheesy Factor: The logo flipping, which is an 80's standard.

Music: Two synthesized "church bells", ending in a fuzzy synth note.

Availability: Thanks to a YouTube user, I found out that this logo can be seen on old "Body Electric" episodes. Don't know where else to find the logo, though.

Scare Factor: Low; a dark logo and loud music will unnerve a viewer, especially with this one.
