WQED: Difference between revisions

'''Logo:''' A shot of the the Pittsburgh skyline at dusk is seen, fading into night after a second. The text "{{Font color|gold|''FROM''}} '''WQED''' {{Font color|gold|PITTSBURGH}}" is seen in a white set of fonts. The WQED logo is in a bold font that glows and has a conjoined "'''WQ'''". "{{Font color|gold|''FROM''}}" and "{{Font color|gold|PITTSBURGH}}" are in a different, plainer font, with the latter stretched across the screen, and a line between it and the WQED logo.

*Later on, the footage was reshot. A few notable differences include an additional skyscraper (the Fifth Avenue Place), a more zoomed-out image, and a darker night sky.

*A 1-second short variant of the original logo that appeared around 1990 exists.

'''Logo:''' On a {{Font color|chartreuse|green}} striped background, a white lens flare glares brightly on screen as a {{Font color|gray|gray}} ring is seen and a {{Font color|red|red}} sphere zooms out. The lens flare then consumes the entire ring, causing a {{Font color|blue|blue}} beveled ring to draw itself in counterclockwise, leaving a small indention for the ball, and "{{Font color|blue|'''WQED'''}}" spreads in below in a much much plainer sans font, colored {{Font color|blue|blue}} with a bevel effect. As the light dies down, the sphere duplicates itself and draws a small curved slope to connect with the ring, creating a large "{{Font color|blue|'''Q'''}}". As this happens, "{{Font color|red|Multimedia}}" in {{Font color|red|red}} blurs in below the text. The logo brightly shines all over as the background zooms in and repeats itself. "{{Font color|red|Multimedia}}" changes to "{{Font color|red|Pittsburgh}}" after a second.

* A local variant has the {{Font color|red|red}} orb zooming out and moving on a white background, as multicolored rings wipe in all over the place. As the ball settles into position, a single ring zooms out and meets up with the orb, continuing the logo as usual. The text, however, now includes a slash with "{{Font color|blue|'''WQEX'''}}" attached to it.

*An opening variant exists, where the logo fades in to a white background with the "{{Font color|blue|'''Q'''}}" zooming out, "{{Font color|blue|'''WQED'''}}" fading in, and "{{Font color|red|Multimedia}}" wiping in. They're horizontally arranged at the top portion of the screen, above a row of differently colored rectangles flipping in. They quickly lose their borders and meld into a single line as the logo gains a slight 3D effect. "{{Font color|red|Multimedia}}" wipes to "{{Font color|red|Pittsburgh}}" from right to left, and the motto "STAY CONNECTED" in spaced out black letters, wipes in below the colored line.

'''Logo:''' Fading into a black and {{Font color|darkblue|dark blue}} area with transparent clouds, several glowing white "waves" can be seen drawing themselves in. The camera then pans to the right, revealing a brighter area colored {{Font color|#FFD900|yellow}} and white. The camera then stops as the waves stop glowing turning metallic and a {{Font color|blue|blue}} ring zooms out to capture them. The camera then zooms out and rotates itself to face straight upwards, revealing more of an {{Font color|orange|orange}} tint on the right and the ring rotates around, revealing a hill design, and a single lime curves out to form the current Q logo. "{{Font color|darkblue|'''WQED'''}}" then fades in below it, in a {{Font color|darkblue|dark blue}} font similar to the 2nd logo, along with "{{Font|Courier|changes lives}}" in a black typewriter font, fading in the bottom right of the screen.

*The short version just has the text fading in usually.

*A longer version has the ring flipping in, with "An HD production of" fading in on the left and "PITTSBURGH" underneath the logo.
