'''Legacy:''' This logo is an oddity, as this logo's existence was practically unknown until Kennedy Center Education Digital Learning uploaded ''The Subject is Jazz: Performance'' on October 29, 2018. Its similarity to the [[NBC |NBC]] "Chimes" logo may or may not be a coincidence, as ''The Subject is Jazz'' was a co-production with NBC.

'''Legacy:''': An introduction of the iconic house motif, marking the start of NET's recognizable association with said logo/motif. However, this is most likely a prototype/placeholder logo as the design does seem rough.

'''Visuals:''' On a dark background with little white "stars" (looks somewhat like a carpet, but is supposed to represent TV static), we see a redesigned version of the "House" logo in white (The letters "'''NET'''" with the "'''T'''" connecting to a roof that hangs over the "'''N'''" and "'''E'''", with an antenna sticking out of the roof, making the "'''N'''" look slightly squished). The style of this "NET House" logo would be used later on.

'''Note:''' The first four images are the regular variants. The fifth image is a ''Black Journal'' variant. The sixth and seventh images are the ''Mister Rogers'' variants, and the last image is the copyright version.


'''Visuals:''' First, the left section of the screen fills with {{color|red}} from the bottom, the middle section fills with {{color|#FFD900|yellow}} from the top, and the right section fills with {{color|dodgerblue|blue}} from the bottom. Each colored section flips to form the letters "'''{{color|red|N}}{{color|#FFD900|E}}{{color|dodgerblue|T}}'''" on a black background one by one. Then either one of two things would happen:

* On the first three seasons (1968-1970) of ''Mister Rogers' Neighborhood'', the NET logo was built into a building that was part of the toy neighborhood in the show’s opening and closing (it was in black on B&W broadcasts to stand out better). This feature remained in reruns until 1989. A copyright notice to “National Educational Television and Radio Center” continued to be used on the show through 1971.

* At the end of ''Black Journal'', an alternative closing variant can be seen after the regular closing logo. It is just the words "{{color|gray|NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL TELEVISION}}" in {{color|gray}} stacked on top of each other on a black background. The ending result is quite similar to the first PBS logo.

'''Visuals:''' On a {{color|darkslateblue|dark purple}} background, several distorted white shapes spin around the center of the screen, which appears to be letters spinning and rolling around each other and larger copies made of lines forming around them. The letters then unwrap from each other. The copies also absorb themselves into the letters, revealing the word "{{Font|Bauhaus 93|{{Big|net}}}}" in a Bauhaus 93-like font.
