1st Logo

(1976-1978)

Logo: Just the text "WMUL-TV" in a western-like font over a picture of some hills. Flowers can be seen on the bottom of the screen.

FX/SFX:None.

Music/Sounds: The opening theme of the program.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo

(1978-1981)

Nickname: "KWSU's Older Brother"

Logo: On a black background, 2 yellow waves draw in at the same time. 2 more also draw in, but getting bigger as well, with the left wave drawing the upper half of West Virginia. Below the shape, "West Virginia Public Broadcasting" fades in below, along with "WMUL".

FX/SFX: The logo drawing itself in, the words appearing.

Music/Sounds: A weird synth melody that sounds off-key.

Availability: Seen on Sugar in the Gourd.

Editor's Note: This logo is very cheesy with its bad Scanimation and rather unfitting music.
