WETA: Difference between revisions

* A version of the logo seen on local programming exists, where the WETA logo, the "'''26'''" from the station ID, and "WASHINGTON D.C." appear via a "strobe" fade effect in that order. Then, the "26" grows to a much larger size than before, causing the WETA logo to shrink and the "WASHINGTON D.C." font to fade out.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A patriotic fife/drum sounder that is synced to the animation. It fits the bicentennial period well. The still and station ID variants have only an announcer, while the alternate animated variant has a series of binaural synth tunes.

'''Variant:''' A local ID had the number 26 next to "WETA".

'''Music/Sounds:''' A synthesized "swish" sound, followed by a 6-note orchestra fanfare.

'''Variant:''' This also had the number 26 beside it, albeit still.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A 5-note synthesized violin sounder, which sounds similar to the 2nd logo's fanfare.

'''Logo:''' On a white marble background, three {{color|blue}} stars form a triangle, with {{color|red}} stripes next to it. Below the symbol is a {{color|gold}} "{{Font|Times New Roman|{{color|gold|'''WETA'''}}}}" in the same font as the 3rd logo, with "WASHINGTON, D.C." below it. Two lines shine, one going across at the top, and the other going down on the left.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A violin stinger culminating into an orchestral note.

'''Variant:''' A version with an inverted color scheme against a moving {{color|orange}} and {{color|limegreen|green}} background was recently spotted.

'''Music/Sounds:''' 4 orchestral hits playing against a percussion beat in the background the whole time. When the square draws itself, an elevator-like "ding" is heard.

'''Logo:''' Over a shady {{color|mediumblue|cobalt blue}} background, the text "{{color|#FFD900|{{Font|Times New Roman|'''WETA'''}}}}", in {{color|gold|yellow}}, spreads out. It is at an angle and turns to face the screen. After that happens, two {{color|red}} ribbons draw themselves around the text. When the animation finishes, "{{Font|Times New Roman|WASHINGTON DC}}" appears below. When used as a station ID, the background shimmers for a few.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A relaxing 4-note wind sounder. When used as a local ID, it used a piece of new-age music. A female announcer says, "You're watching WETA Washington, D.C., Maryland & Virginia."

* After PBS and WETA took over the American distribution of ''BBC World News'' beginning on June 3, 2019, a copyright notice for the BBC started appearing on this logo at the end of the program.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A short piano jingle.

'''Variant:''' On ''BBC World News'' and Ken Burns documentaries, an abstract rendition of the capital is used as the background instead.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A soft, dreamy 6 piano jingle. The variant pitches it one tone higher.
