'''Logo:''' We see a white rounded box. In the box are the words "A", "wxxi", "tv", and "production". The "wxxi" text is connected to the box, and under the box are the words "portions pre-recorded" with "pre-recorded" below "portions" and the text in the same font as the text in the box.

'''Logo:''' We see the silver "WXXI" text, in the Tiffany Heavy BT font turning and zooming away from the viewer at a 90 degree angle, over a plain black background, shining all over the logo. The blue shade then fades in below as the logo flashes on screen, before going into the other part of the logo just described. Flashing stars reveal "ROCHESTER NEW YORK", in a cream color and in the same font, below the letters moving from left to right, a la Hanna-Barbera Home Video. "WXXI" then has jonquil on the bottom and pale blue on the letters, and finally, the whole logo shines.

'''Logo:''' On a navy blue background, we see signals being emitted from the center. A yellow-orange circle and a white I slide in from opposite directions. When they bump into each other, the circle stops moving and the I goes the opposite direction, revealing two X's. A blue W fades into the circle. "TV | Rochester" fades in.

'''Logo:''' On a dark blue background with a blue spotlight, we see a tilted "XXI", in yellow zoom out. A glass W zooms out and turns around. A dark sphere slides in from the right and spins counterclockwise to reveal it is colored light violet. The W turns white and places itself onto the circle. "TV-Rochester" slides in below. The logo shines while the spotlight zooms in a little.

'''Logo:''' We see a spotlight shining on the "W" as asilhouette and part of the "X" again as a silhouette. After those letters are faded, we see a wiping transition effect via a subtle, white sheen that would reveal the PBS affiliate's name with its location letter by letter with "W" represented in navy blue, and "X" "X" "I" being in orange with the location "Rochester I NY" being under the affiliate's name in white. After the lettering is shown in the logo, we then see several lights from a skyline turn on during the evening with some conservative blinking. The logo then fades.
