Austin PBS: Difference between revisions

'''KLRU''' (known on-air as '''Austin PBS''' since 2019) is a [[Public Broadcasting Service|PBS]] affiliate located in Austin, Texas.

 

'''Visuals:''' On a {{color|mediumblue|Dallas blue}} background is a 2D image of the top of the Texas Capitol Dome with a giant star in the middle. "{{color|gold|{{Font|Serif|'''KLRU/AUSTIN'''}}}}" zooms out below.

* There is a slightly shortened version using the end of the animation.

* A longer version exists as a local ID. The text "{{color|silver|'''KLRU TV-18'''}}" swings into view, rendered in shiny {{color|silver}} 3D. While swinging into place, the Capital Dome and the text "AUSTIN", which is smaller in print, zoom in and a {{color|gold|yellow}} star outline spins and zooms out. Then they all come into place, and the star gets filled.

'''Technique:''' 2D computer animation. CGI for the local ident.

'''Audio:''' A cymbal sounder. The local ID had a proud piano tune, with other instruments included.

'''Visuals:''' The Austin skyline is seen 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 {{color|green|greenish}} starfield, {{color|blue}}-gradient, or {{color|orange}}-gradient background, and the KLRU logo flies in from below. "AUSTIN" fades in below, before fading out, with "'''''Join us'''''" in a script font writing itself in its place and shining. It also has a still version.

'''Technique:''' CGI.

'''Visuals:''' Over a TV static background is a static {{color|red}} KLRU logo in a much thinner font zooming in. "AUSTIN" fades in below, and the static background moves below, making the background black. The logo shines.

'''Technique:''' 2D computer animation.

'''Visuals:''' Over a black/{{color|gray}} gradient background, "{{color|red|'''KLRU'''}}" in the same font as the previous logo zooms out and spins clockwise, flipping in letter by letter along the PBS logo. Below the logo, the words "{{color|red|'''Austin Texas'''}}" stretch in.

'''Visuals:''' The letters "{{color|deepskyblue|'''klru'''}}" in {{color|deepskyblue|azure}} emerge from a cloudy sky backdrop, then zoom forward and shine as the PBS logo slides in to the right. "{{font|Serif|austin, texas}}" appears under them.

'''Visuals:''' On a black or {{color|lightgrey|light gray}} background are the letters "{{color|deepskyblue|'''klru'''}}" in {{color|deepskyblue|azure}} with the PBS logo on the right sliding in. An aurora surrounds the logo as "austin, texas" appears under it.

'''Variants:'''

* On one episode of ''Arts In Context'', "austin, texas" is missing.

* On another episode of said show, "austin," appears first, followed by "texas".

* Another version has a copyright stamp that reads "A production of KLRU-TV Capital of Texas Public Telecommunications Council © (YEAR)".

'''Audio Variants:'''

* On the short version, a synth electric guitar tune is used.

* On ''Austin City Limits'', both the chime and the guitar play simultaneously.
