'''Nickname:''' "2D Dome with Star" | |||
'''Logo:''' On a {{Font color|mediumblue|Dallas blue}} background, we see a 2D image of the top of the Texas Capitol Dome with a giant star in the middle. "{{Font color|#FFD900|{{Font|Serif|'''KLRU/AUSTIN'''}}}}" in {{Font color|#FFD900|yellow}} zooms out below. | |||
'''Variants:''' | |||
* There is a slightly shorter version towards the end the animation. | |||
* A longer version exists as a local ID. The text "{{Font color|silver|'''KLRU TV-18'''}}" swings into view, rendered in shiny {{Font color|silver|silver}} 3D. While swinging into place, the Capital Dome and the text "AUSTIN", which is smaller in print, zoom in and a {{Font color|#FFD900|yellow}} star outline spins and zooms out. Then they all come into place, and the star gets filled. | |||
'''FX/SFX:''' "KLRU/AUSTIN" zooming out. | |||
'''Music/Sounds:''' A cymbal sounder. The local ID had a proud piano tune, with other instruments in there. | |||
'''Availability:''' Extinct. It was seen on late 1980's to early 1990's episodes of ''Austin City Limits'', after the Southwest Texas Public Broadcasting Council split into two. | |||
'''Editor's Note:''' The cymbal sound can be a bit startling. | |||
=== 2nd Logo (1993?-1998) === | |||

'''Nickname:''' "Another Skyline at Night" | |||
'''Logo:''' We see the Austin skyline under the night sky (from the ''ACL'' Season 18 intro). A comet comes in from the right, and when it gets to the middle, it flashes a giant KLRU logo on top, with a small "{{Font|Serif|'''AUSTIN'''}}" below it. | |||
'''Variant:'''A local version exists, with either a {{Font color|green|greenish}} starfield, {{Font color|blue|blue}}-gradient, or {{Font color|orange|orange}}-gradient background, and the KLRU logo spins in and below. "AUSTIN" fades in below, before fading out, with "'''''Join us'''''" in a script font writing itself in its place. That text shines. It also has a still version. | |||
'''FX/SFX:''' The comet shooting and unveiling the logo. All CGI animation. | |||
'''Music/Sounds:'''Same as the previous logo. On one occasion, this was mixed with the closing theme. The local version is the same as before. | |||
'''Availability:''' Extinct. It was seen on 90s episodes of ''Austin City Limits''. | |||
'''Editor's Note:''' The comet is a bit choppy. Also, there is no reflection for the KLRU logo. Plus, couldn't they have gotten their own background? Overall a bit simple, but relatively clean and improved from the previous logo. | |||
=== 3rd Logo (1998-2006?) === | |||
<center><youtube width=240 height=185>82yUuaTK7XU</youtube></center> | |||
'''Nickname:''' "Static" | |||
'''Logo:''' Over a TV static background, we see a static {{Font color|red|red}} KLRU logo in a much thinner font zoom in. "AUSTIN" fades in below, and the static background moves below, making the background black. The logo shines. | |||
'''FX/SFX:''' The TV static moving down. | |||
'''Music/Sounds:''' A buzzing noise. | |||
'''Availability:''' On early 2000s episodes of ''Austin City Limits''. | |||
'''Editor's Note:''' The sudden appearance and look of the logo may startle some. | |||
=== 4th Logo (200?-2007?) === | |||
<center><youtube width=240 height=185>H67yU1E2sCw</youtube></center> | |||
'''Logo:''' On a black/{{Font color|gray|gray}} gradient background, we see "{{Font color|red|'''KLRU'''}}" in the same font as the previous logo zooming out and spinning clockwise flipping letter by letter, as well as the PBS logo. Below the logo, the words "{{Font color|red|'''Austin Texas'''}}" stretch in. All of this is colored red. | |||
'''FX/SFX:''' The spinning and stretching. | |||
'''Music/Sounds:''' A string is heard at the beginning followed by a downward three note chime arpeggio, then five piano notes that repeat again, but are played on bells. | |||
'''Availability:''' Likely seen on ''Austin City Limits'' and was seen on ''Public Strategies Inc''. | |||
'''Editor's Note:''' None. | |||

'''Logo:''' On a black or {{Font color|lightgrey|light gray}} background, we see the letters "{{Font color|deepskyblue|'''klru'''}}" in {{Font color|deepskyblue|azure}} with the PBS Circle P-Head logo on the right sliding in. An aurora surrounds the logo as "austin, texas" appears under it. | |||
'''Trivia:''' The P-Head animation is used by other PBS logos. | |||
'''Variants:''' | |||
* On one episode of ''Arts In Context'', "austin, texas" is missing. | |||
* On another episode of said show, "austin," appears first, followed by "texas". | |||
* A short version fades into the logo without the sliding, one of them which has "austin," already there, and "texas" fades in. | |||
* Another version has a copyright stamp that reads "A production of KLRU-TV Capital of Texas Public Telecommunications Council © (YEAR)". | |||
'''FX/SFX:''' Just the aurora and the text appearing. | |||
'''Music/Sounds:''' A soothing chime sounder. | |||
Variants: | '''Music/Sounds Variants:''' | ||
On | * On the short version, a synth electric guitar tune is used. | ||
On | * On ''Austin City Limits'', both the chime and the guitar play simultaneously. | ||
* There is also a silent version. | |||
* Some episodes have the show's end theme play during the logo. | |||

=== 7th Logo (2012) === | |||
'''Logo:'''On a black background, we see a group of circles explode from the center, revealing the KLRU logo. Below is a "50" in a circle next to "years". Below that is "austin, texas". The circles move in different directions. | |||
KLRU | |||
'''FX/SFX:''' The circles. | |||
