'''Technique:''' The flashing stars and the flashing of the logo; impressive computer effects for the '80s!
'''Technique:''' CGI.


'''Music/Sounds:''' Initially, the logo used a synthesized orchestral fanfare or a short synth tune. Later, the music changed to a fading-in synth-bass note, then a few synth-lute notes, then a calm synth-guitar tune in the beginning, followed by a few low-pitched dings, and then a descending synthesized xylophone sounder that repeats approximately three times. A re-orchestrated variant of the later music exists.

'''Legacy:''' This logo has some nice visuals for 1982 and it's understandable why this logo lasted until 2000!

'''Logo:''' On a {{color|navy|navy blue}} background, we see signals being emitted from the center. A {{color|gold|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 to the opposite direction, revealing two "'''X'''"s. A blue "{{color|navy|{{Font|Times New Roman|'''W'''}}}}" fades into the circle. "TV | ROCHESTER" fades in.

'''Logo:''' On a black background with a {{color|skyblue|light blue}} light curtain on the left side and blinking circles on the right side (not unlike the 7th logo), we see the WXXI logo zoom in while rotating, as the light curtains briefly take over the background. After they dim out, the text "DT | Rochester" fades in over the "'''XI'''". The logo then fades out, with "DT | Rochester" fading out last.

'''Logo:''' We see a spotlight shining on a "'''W'''" and part of an "'''X'''", both as silhouettes. After the letters fade out, we see a wiping transition effect via a subtle, white sheen that reveals the WXXI logo letter-by-letter, with "{{color|navy|'''W'''}}" represented in {{color|navy|navy blue}} and "{{color|gold|'''XXI'''}}" in {{color|gold}}, and "Rochester I NY" under the letters in white. After the lettering is shown in the logo, we then see several lights from a skyline turn on, with some blinking. The logo then fades.
