'''Logo:''' On a black background, {{color|blue}} static fills the screen while a {{color|deeppink|pink}} set of outlines revolve around the middle. As the static shrinks to the middle, the text then revolves into the {{color|deeppink|pink}} text "{{color|deeppink|'''KWSU'''}}" in the Stop font, with "{{color|deeppink|presents}}" fading in below in ITC Avant Garde Gothic. The logo then briefly disappears before compressing into the background, with "{{color|deeppink|presents}}" wiping away.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A loud weird synthesized tune, which sounds like a game over screen in an arcade game or something from the 70s.

'''Availability:''' Extremely rare. Only known to have appeared on ''Heart - The Second Ending Live At KWSU''. The program is preserved on the Blu-Ray release. However, it is currently unknown if other programs used this logo.

===2nd Logo (1983-19??)===

'''Logo:''' On a {{color|lightskyblue|sky blue}} background, a {{color|deepskyblue|baby blue}} line draws across the screen. It then draws down and to the right, sprouting the text "{{color|deepskyblue|{{Font|Impact|KWSU}}}}" from it. The line retracts when it finishes and "{{color|deepskyblue|'''A PRESENTATION OF'''}}" slides out of it from the top, while "{{color|deepskyblue|'''PULLMAN, WA'''}}" slides out of the bottom.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A funky trumpet tune accompanied by a drum beat and a Fender Rhodes electric piano, the latter moving through the chord progression B♭13sus4-A♭7add13-Gmaj13#11.

'''Availability:''' More common than the last, but still very rare. It appeared on ''Grass Roots Journal'' and other local programming.

'''Variant:''' An variant that ends with the text "'''{{color|#FFD900|''You're''}} {{color|deepskyblue|INFORMED}}'''" (with "{{color|#FFD900|'''''You're'''''}} " in the cursive font, and "{{color|deepskyblue|'''INFORMED'''}}" in the bolded font), exists but it is unknown how the rest of the logo plays out as the video it was seen on starts with that end card.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A crystal-like 80's piano jingle (with the notes rising and looping), with a futuristic-sounding ZAP! during the flash.

'''Availability:''' Very rare. All variants seen on ''Counterpoint''.

===4th Logo (1994-Early 2000s)===

<gallery mode="packed" heights="200">

'''Logo:''' On a {{color|darkviolet|lavender}} background, a few rectangles are seen quickly sliding in, reading "{{color|slateblue|{{Font|Times New Roman|''a production of''}}}}" and "{{color|slateblue|{{Font|Times New Roman|'''M E D I A'''}}}}", with the one in the centre having no text. Then the word "{{color|gold|{{Font|Times New Roman|'''KWSU'''}}}}" in {{color|gold}} flips in a similar way on the rectangle.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A whoosh is heard, followed by 2 horn notes, with the last being held out for longer.

'''Logo:''' On a {{color|gray}} background, logos, a {{color|red}} line draws across the screen, which flips up to reveal a {{color|red}}/white rectangle with a {{color|red}} outline. On the {{color|red}} section is "KWSU & KTNW" in white and "{{color|gray|Public Television}}" in {{color|gray}} is on the white section. As it shines, the text "A Production of" appears with a {{color|red}} aura. The logo is also seen on a rectangle along with the 2nd, and 4th logos.

'''Music/Sounds:''' None.

'''Availability:''' Very rare. This, and the 2nd and 4th logos, appeared in the 50th anniversary video.

=== 8th Logo (2018-) ===

'''Logo:''' On a forest dimmed by a {{color|green|sea green}} background, we see the letters "NWPB" flipping letter-by-letter along with a simplistic pine tree symbol right to the letters drawing itself and three waves appear next to the symbol, then, we see the words "Engage. Enlighten. Entertain." appearing one-by-one

'''Music/Sounds:''' A calming synth piano theme accompanied by birds chirping with three beeps (the last one being high-pitched) when the words "Engage. Enlighten. Entertain." appear one-by-one.
