'''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 the 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:''' We see the text "{{Font color|silver|{{Font|Cooper|WXXI}}}}", in the Tiffany Heavy BT font and in {{Font color|silver|silver}}, turning and zooming away from the viewer at a 90-degree angle, over a plain black background, shining all over. The background fades to a black-{{Font color|blue|blue}} gradient background as the logo flashes on the screen and settles on the center of it. Flashing stars appear under the logo and move away from each other to reveal "{{Font color|cream|{{Font|Cooper|ROCHESTER NEW YORK}}}}", in {{Font color|cream|cream}} and in the same font, a la the [[Hanna-Barbera Home Video]] logo. "{{Font color|silver|{{Font|Cooper|WXXI}}}}" then takes on a {{Font color|lightsteelblue|pale blue}} tint, except for the bottom which is colored {{Font color|#FFD900|yellow}}, and finally, the whole logo shines.

'''Logo:''' We see a spotlight shining on the "W" as a silhouette 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" is 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.
