KQED: Difference between revisions

===Background===

'''KQED''' (from "QED" or  "Quod Erat Demonstrandum", which is Latin for "which is what had to be proven") is a [[PBS]] member station located in San Francisco, California. It was founded in 1953 and signed on a year later. However, they did not use a logo until 1974.

{{YouTube|id=hFsO2rBsdGM|id2=5Zxdt4SkwB8}}

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

===2nd ID (1980)===

{{YouTube|id=ryTR1eViXXs}}

'''Visuals:''' 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.

===3rd ID (1980-1988)===

{{YouTube|id=JPvgRwzYdnk|id2=XRhQ480PKL8}}

'''Visuals:''' There is a very dark image of the KQED logo from the previous logo, colored {{color|silver|silver}} over "{{color|silver|SAN FRANCISCO}}", in a font similar to "{{color|silver|'''KQED'''}}", against a black-{{color|deepskyblue|light blue}}-{{color|orange}} gradient background. The logo suddenly lights up and shines, then a light moves in the logo.

===4th ID (1988-1999)===

{{YouTube|id=dQ4v09UDovM|id2=jLcK5hSJWmY}}

'''Visuals:''' There is a more rectangular version of the KQED logo (along with "{{color|silver|San Francisco}}" underneath), colored {{color|silver|silver}}, flip up against a {{color|navy|navy blue}}-{{color|mocassin|tan}} gradient background with what appears to be smoke on the bottom.

===5th ID (2001-2004)===

{{YouTube|id=tYMJHGb_IQo|id2=EBv4_3Iog58|id3=CvqYbCdOx6I|id4=asw5ou_zjWI|id5=FlD4vwuhUfc|id6=83-JMwJWeyk}}

'''Visuals:''' There is a {{color|blue}} light start to shine, just as the letters "'''KQED'''" kinda bulge one at a time rapidly with light. It fills up the bottom half a white outlined rectangle. That half has {{color|blue}} and black as well as a black line on top. Below we see a line partially crooked with a dot at the end. Above is the same line, but tilted 90° degrees clockwise. Above the box is a line of what looks like a white, small, and blurry version of the DirecTV logo.

'''Visuals:''' There is a (possibly) helicopter-shot live-action clip of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco panning towards the right of the screen. Over that, on a transparent {{color|red}} tinted background is multiple {{color|#FFD900|yellow}} circle outlines rotating slowly. In the center of the screen is the usual KQED logo with the text "production" or "San Francisco" below the logo slowly zooming in towards the screen.

{{YouTube|id=4dNztYarWsI|id2=PtCXCU0sols}}

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

'''Visuals:''' Over a {{color|blue}} gradient background, the logo starts with the KQED logo with "Production" underneath, aligned to the left and set over a rotating lava-lamp like substance.

{{YouTube|id=322kHdqVJ3c}}

'''Visuals:''' Over a black background, the logo starts with 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.
