'''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.
