'''Logo:''' This logo has two main versions, each with different animation, but both resulting in roughly the same end product.

'''Variant:''' A dark version appeared on ''Voice of the Plains: John G. Neihardt''.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A somber guitar tune. High plucked strings are heard while the "n" zooms in, and a final strum is heard as the text moves in.

'''Availability:''' Extremely rare. Seen on some programs available for viewing on Nebraska Public Media's website. The first version made its debut on ''Hidden Places'' and last appeared on ''Voice of the Plains: John G. Neihardt''. The second version first appeared on ''Plowing Up a Storm'' and was last seen on ''The Wind at One's Fingertips''.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, the same "{{color|sienna|'''n'''}}" from the previous logo, now colored{{color|sienna|dark bronze}} with bevels and still shines, as well as a soft spotlight on the bottom, flips up just below the middle of the screen. The text "'''THE NEBRASKA ETV NETWORK'''", in white with a {{color|chocolate|pale brown}} shadow similar to the first [[Embassy Home Entertainment]] logo, fades in below.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A warbly note at the beginning, followed by a 5-note Moog synthesizer jingle with chiming sounds.

'''Availability:''' Very rare. It premiered on ''Dance of the Cranes'', and was last seen on ''After the Last Harvest''. It can be found on a 1989-1990 PBS affiliates' logo demo reel on YouTube (which was the only known source of this logo for years).

===3rd Logo (February 25-June 22, 1990)===

'''Logo:''' On a time-lapse cloud background, the same {{color|sienna|bronze}} "{{color|sienna|'''n'''}}" from the previous logo, but brighter, swings in from the left and plasters itself against the background. As it moves into its final position, the text "{{color|mediumslateblue|'''''NEBRASKA EDUCATIONAL TELEVISION NETWORK'''''}}" fades in below in {{color|mediumslateblue|lilac}} with a black drop shadow, similar to the 2nd logo.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Same as the last logo.

'''Availability:''' Extremely rare. First appeared on ''Picture Nebraska'' and ''Return of the Sacred Pole'', both broadcast in February 1990. Last seen on ''Cold Warriors Never Die''.

===4th Logo (January 1, 1991- December 2004)===

'''Logo:''' On a {{color|blue|blue}} marble background, 2 {{color|red|red}} streaks (one straight and coming from the bottom, while the other is diagonal and is coming from the top) fly in, along with 2 {{color|steelblue|bluish gray}} streaks, each coming from the left and right sides of the screen, respectively, and also being stacked on top of each other. When the streaks settle, the {{color|red|red}} streaks turn into the familiar "{{color|sienna|'''n'''}}" logo from the previous logos, the top {{color|steelblue|bluish gray}} streaks turn into "{{color|steelblue|'''NEBRASKA'''}}", and the bottom turns into "{{color|steelblue|'''ETV NETWORK'''}}". In the background while this happens, 2 clusters of dots run across the top of the screen and the right side, crossing each other when they first fly in, and 2 {{color|red|red}} lines streak along the bottom, delayed for a bit.

* Extension: On some programs, the name fades away after one second, and 3 {{color|steelblue|bluish gray}} lines fly in to wipe in "{{color|steelblue|'''NEBRASKANS'''}}", "{{color|steelblue|'''FOR PUBLIC'''}}", and "{{color|steelblue|'''TELEVISION'''}}" one by one, all stacked on each other. The background animations happen again as well.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Same as the previous two logos. For the extended variant, an announcer says, "This program is funded in part by viewers like you who are members of Nebraskans for Public Television."

'''Variants:''' There was an alternate station identifier that went as NET¹ to differentiate between alternate channels. Other varieties seen on station lists included another tag line reading “Nebraska’s PBS and NPR Stations”, with the PBS logo sometimes inserted into the line.

'''Availability:''' Found on programs by the company since January 2005.

===2nd Logo (20??-2021)===

'''Variant:''' A shorter version exists.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A synthesized orchestral fanfare with five synth trumpet notes and writing pencil sounds when the squares solidify.
