Availability: Much like the second logo, it is unknown if film prints at the Museum of Broadcast Communications have this logo, however it did show up once on the 50th anniversary special for KVIE in Sacramento. The still variant can be found on The Born Criminal, The Exceptional Child and On The Shoulder Of Giants (which appears to be the last time it appeared).The animated variant appears on Channelizing Aggression; The Impact of Personalities. The animated closing variant appears on Books and Ideas. The variant with the announcer saying "Educational Television and Radio Center" can be spotted on Religions of Man. The inverted variant appears on KUHT-TV's Mexicana. This can be seen at the end of many programs available for viewing on the American Archive of Public Broadcasting website.
