KQED: Difference between revisions

'''Logo:''' Over a {{color|blue}}-tinted live-action shot of the downtown San Francisco skyline and Pacific Ocean, we see "{{color|#FFD900|'''KQED'''}}", in a {{color|#FFD900|yellow}} stylized font zooming in towards us, followed by "{{color|#FFD900|'''PRESENTS'''}}" in an italic {{color|#FFD900|yellow}} Helvetica font.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Wind blowing, and a four-note Moog synth tune.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, the word "{{color|deepskyblue|'''FROM'''}}" appears on screen in a {{color|deepskyblue|cerulean}} tube-shaped font. Pieces of the word scroll left and right, leaving the screen. Then, more pieces scroll left and right, entering the screen, to reveal the then-current KQED logo, also colored {{color|deepskyblue|cerulean}}. "{{color|lightskyblue|SAN FRANCISCO}}" flashes below, colored {{color|lightskyblue|baby blue}}, and in an Arial-like font.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Unsure, but it may be a Moog synthesizer tune or the end theme of the show.

'''Variant:''' A shorter version starts at the light moving up.

'''Music/Sounds:''' For the long version, we hear a deep synth bass note being held, then a 7-note Moog synthesizer tune. The short version has a six-note Moog synth tune, with a small drumbeat.

'''Variant:''' As with MPT and WGBH's logos, there's a longer version used as a local ident. It starts with a bird's-eye view of the earth over a map of the San Francisco Bay area. Dots light around the image as the globe slowly turns sideways. We zoom upward, as the words "{{color|silver|'''KQED 9'''}}" flip upwards and faces us, on a space background, similar to the background of the regular version, but with the {{color|mocassin|tan}} part of the background being {{color|deeppink|pink}}.

'''Music/Sounds:''' The short version has a breathy-sounding synth orchestra fanfare, whereas a local funding bumper, an announcer announces the funders from that day. Around 1995, it was changed to a small whoosh with a five-note synthesized horn theme, as well as an announcer saying "A production of KQED San Francisco" over the music.

*A version exists where the logo is shortened and colored brown, this can be seen on bumpers from KQED at the time.  

'''Music/Sounds:''' The five note theme from the previous logo and an announcer saying "A Production of KQED San Francisco" at the end of programs, or "The Following is a KQED Television Production” at the start of programs. Sometimes, it’s silent or contains the end of the program’s music.

* There's a still version.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Same as the previous logo, but without the voiceover.

'''Variant:''' On high-definition programs, we see the bold text "HD" right beside the KQED logo.

'''Music/Sounds:'''

'''Logo:''' On a white background, the usual KQED logo fades in. The inside of the "Q" later reveals part of the program playing, and then we zoom into the "Q", revealing the rest of the program.

'''Music/Sounds:''' The beginning of the program. On some of them, the 1982 KQED logo theme plays, as the 1982 logo itself is being obscured by the "Q".

* A longer version exists where the logo zooms out rapidly.

'''Music/Sounds:''' The 1995 theme, or the closing theme of the show.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, we see the KQED logo composed of line rays, with the exception of the "Q", which is black and is shooting out sun rays. Behind the KQED logo we see 3 {{color|deeppink|pink}}-tinted circles.

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

'''Logo:''' Against an action {{color|green}} background, several transparent circles flip towards the middle left of the screen. Once the circles have merged, the circles morph into the letter "Q" in white as the rest of the logo fades in.

'''Music/Sounds:''' An extremely generic sounding "airy" piece.
