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

*An opening variant exists, where the logo fades in to a white background with the "{{color|blue|'''Q'''}}" zooming out, "{{color|blue|'''WQED'''}}" fading in, and "{{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. "{{color|red|Multimedia}}" wipes to "{{color|red|Pittsburgh}}" from right to left, and the motto "STAY CONNECTED" in spaced out black letters, wipes in below the colored line. | *An opening variant exists, where the logo fades in to a white background with the "{{color|blue|'''Q'''}}" zooming out, "{{color|blue|'''WQED'''}}" fading in, and "{{color|red|Multimedia}}" wiping in.

*Starting in 2006, the logo now has "PITTSBURGH" in white underneath the text, and "produced by" in spaced out white letters at the top of the screen. The logo is also now above a night shot of the Pittsburgh skyline. The logo and background zoom in slightly as a lens flare moves a bit. This logo is also presented in HD widescreen as well. | *Starting in 2006, the logo now has "PITTSBURGH" in white underneath the text, and "produced by" in spaced out white letters at the top of the screen.
