'''Logo:''' On a black background, several "pieces" of the WETA logo at the time (a white italic "'''''W'''''", a red "{{Font color|red|'''E'''}}" that's made of three lines, a non-italic "'''T'''", and a {{Font color|blue|blue}} trapezoidal "{{Font color|blue|'''A'''}}" with a white star in the center) appear in sync with the music. When the logo is complete, "WASHINGTON D.C." appears below.

*There is an alternative version where the logo forms from the end first.

*A still variant exists.
*There is a station ID variant which has 26 beside the WETA logo with text that says "Public Television In the Nation's Capital".
*When it was used as a station ID, the logo is still and has a white "'''26'''" in the same "font" as the WETA logo, along with having the text "PUBLIC TELEVISION IN THE NATION'S CAPITAL" below the "A" in one single stack. An animated variant of this logo appears on some local programming, where the WETA logo, the "'''26'''", and "WASHINGTON D.C." appear via a "strobe" fade effect in that order. Then, the "26" grows to a much larger size than before, causing the WETA logo to shrink and the "WASHINGTON D.C." font to fade out.
