'''Logo:''' On a black background, we see the letters "{{color|gold|'''Ket'''}}" in a wide {{color|gold|light yellow}} lowercase font, appearing one by one (with the "{{color|gold|'''K'''}}" appearing first on the left, the "{{color|gold|'''t'''}}" on the right, and finally the "{{color|gold|'''e'''}}" in the middle, replacing a rounded {{color|skyblue|light blue}} square with a multi-colored pinwheel shape in it)). When the animation is finished, the letters rapidly spin around, and flip around to reveal the words {{color|gold|'''KENTUCKY EDUCATIONAL TELEVISION'''}} stacked on each other. After that, the logo is still for a few moments before finally fading out.

'''Technique:''' Primitive 2D animation, with the letters rotating appearing to be a live-action effect.

'''Music/Sounds:''' The sound of a 6-note electronic water dripping sound, in steady pace, which is then followed by 2 rapid synthesized drumbeats (sounding almost like a gong or pans falling to the floor), as they almost echo and fade out.

'''Availability:''' Almost extinct. Seen on any KET produced programs at the time. You can see this logo (and all subsequent logos) in the video section of ket.org before episodes of ''Distinguished Kentuckian'' as well as on KET KY. This bumper could formerly be seen as part of KET's 'Back to the '60s Week' block, which aired the week of August 10-16, 2014. This went into effect on all KET channels, with the logo for each channel (with the exception of KET KY) in the style of this logo. The old-style logo was only used in promos for 'Back to the '60s Week' instead of being an on-screen logo.

'''Legacy:''' The strange music and black background, along with the animation, make this seem atypical from logos of the time.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, parts of the pinwheel logo from the 1st logo zoom out from the bottom right to the top left of the screen, all in a clockwise formation. The colors of these pieces, also in clockwise order, are {{color|#00FF7F|mint green}}, white, {{color|#ff5349|red-orange}}, and {{color|hotpink|hot pink}}. After the pinwheel is assembled, the stacked {{color|hotpink|hot pink}} text "{{color|pink|'''produced by KeNtUCKy eDUCatIOnAL TeLeViSION at the network center'''}} zooms in to the right side of it. The company name matches the "'''Ket'''" text from the previous logo and has a mix of upper and lower case lettering, while the rest of the text appears to be in Optima Bold. After over 10 seconds, the text slowly fades out and the pinwheel zooms back into the bottom right, slowly darkening as it does.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A series of 4 drippling synth notes that play in-between a 2-note stinger, with extra notes and effects added for each playing of the notes. It ends with the 4 synth notes having an echo effect. The entire tune has an ominous sound to it.

'''Availability:''' Even rarer than the 1st logo. It was only discovered in September 2022 on ''The Hills Resound: The Music of Kentucky'', and its unknown how many other programs used this logo.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A fluttering synthesized horn crescendo, followed by a 5-note piano tune that plays at the same time. It sounds like something from an Atari/Nintendo video game, and was likely composed on analog synths.

'''Logo:''' We see the words "{{color|blue|'''ket'''}}" in a strange {{color|blue}} font spinning up to the screen on a {{color|#FFD900|yellow}} background. "KENTUCKY EDUCATIONAL TV" appears below. On the GED-based programs it produced, the logo would fold away sideways, causing the background to turn {{color|saddlebrown|brown}} as the {{color|#FFD900|yellow}} letters "{{color|#FFD900|ged}}" (arranged in a strange way) unfold. Then, they would fold away downward, causing the background to turn {{color|#FFD900|yellow}} again as several {{color|blue}} "{{color|blue|general educational development}}"'s are wiped onto the screen. They then dissolve together, turning the background {{color|blue}}, and the episode name appears on the screen.

'''Availability:''' Long extinct. No stand-alone versions of this logo are even on YouTube. The fully formed logo showed up in September of 2018 during an on-air promo commemorating KET's 50th Anniversary.

'''Legacy:''' The logo design and music concept seem unnerving.

'''Availability:''' Very rare. This used to appear on the math and writing programs of the '''GED''' series, which were replaced with the next logo below. This is still intact on some local KET shows on KETKY and KET ED. Appears on episodes of ''Bywords'' on KET's website.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A synth whoosh, then a 3-note big band tune, and one big bass drumbeat (a trombone note is also heard at the same time). [Although the whoosh is original, the actual music is the ending of the Valentino music library track "Like the Wind", by Walter Murphy.] Starting in 1989, it used a rapid crescending, then descending synth-xylophone sounder, with two light synthesized notes heard at the end.

'''Availability:''' Rare. Seen on old GED-based programs (it plasters the previous logo on the ''Writing'' and ''Math'' programs of the ''GED'' series, and some PBS affiliates still air the ''GED'' series), and the entire "Learn to Read" series that still airs in reruns on WNET.

'''Logo:''' On a {{color|slateblue|purple}}/black gradient background, we see the KET logo, now in a {{color|steelblue|silvery-bluish}} color. It rotates into place, seemingly out of nowhere. Then, the words "THE KENTUCKY NETWORK" appear below.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Yet another guitar excerpt that varies, but mostly with a pop/hip-hop beat to go with it. It may also use a different guitar tune with a bongo/conga esque beat. It also has the closing theme.
