'''Logo:''' On a black background, a strange-looking symbol in {{color|#FFD900|school bus yellow}} is seen, resembling a tulip of sorts. Above the logo is "A Production of" in a white Arial font, and "WQED, Pittsburgh" is seen below the logo. | '''Logo:''' On a black background, a strange-looking symbol in {{color|#FFD900|school bus yellow}} is seen, resembling a tulip of sorts.

'''Variant:''' Starting in 1985, the logo was re-shot using 35mm film with different footage, as well as the logo replaced with the next logo. The "FROM" and "PITTSBURGH" text is in a Avant Grade font, with the latter's 2 T's "connected" together. | '''Variant:''' Starting in 1985, the logo was re-shot using 35mm film with different footage, as well as the logo replaced with the next logo.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A dramatic French horn and kettledrum fanfare accompanied by violins and flutes. As a local ID, it uses either the 1985 "TV Worth Watching" jingle or the 1988 "TV Worth Watching" jingle. The later variant has a shortened rearrangement of the fanfare. | '''Music/Sounds:''' A dramatic French horn and kettledrum fanfare accompanied by violins and flutes.

*For local IDs, the logo is presented similarly to the 2nd logo, although the text is changed to the WQED logo at the time, and it comes in from all sorts of places. Other times, it is a wide shot of Point State Park. | *For local IDs, the logo is presented similarly to the 2nd logo, although the text is changed to the WQED logo at the time, and it comes in from all sorts of places.

''' | '''Technique:''' Just the fading and flashing. It is a good effect to pass as "time-lapse". | ||
'''Music/Sounds:''' A 5-note synth-horn fanfare with drumbeats at the end. ''Creatures Of The Mangrove'' has a prototype version of the fanfare, with louder instruments. | '''Music/Sounds:''' A 5-note synth-horn fanfare with drumbeats at the end.

*A variant of the above version (used earlier, though, as a produciton logo) has the logo arranged vertically, with smaller text, a bigger logo, and "Multimedia" in white. The background is also set at a different angle and scrolls from left to right, revealing a white fuzzy bar with "{{color|blue|produced by}}" in {{color|blue}} inside it. | *A variant of the above version (used earlier, though, as a produciton logo) has the logo arranged vertically, with smaller text, a bigger logo, and "Multimedia" in white.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A 5-note piano tune that sounds a lot like the 3rd logo's music but sped up, as well as an delayed extra note on the end. Sometimes, the end theme of the program is played over it. The 2006 variant has the tune played as a quicker horn fanfare. | '''Music/Sounds:''' A 5-note piano tune that sounds a lot like the 3rd logo's music but sped up, as well as an delayed extra note on the end.
