Logo: We see a grayish background with three variations of gray on either side. The word "CHANNEL" is seen in a white outlined box. Next to it is the number 8 on a ball facing right. The letters "KUHT" are positioned facing right in a three dimensional fashion. An arrow can be seen under the 8 ball and the KUHT text. Below both of those is the word "HOUSTON", in a similar box to "CHANNEL".

Logo: KUHT's logo from the time is shown. This involves a K that has a college graduate hat on, circular eyes with no pupils, two ripples for a mouth, a bow tie, and what seems to be a teacher's pointer pointing at an 8. Beneath the 8 and next to the K is "UHT" in a smaller font. This then fades.

Logo: On a black/opal background, we see 8 rectangles wiping from the top and bottom 3 times, with them switching positions. Then, the rectangles then chase each other, confined to a invisible rounded rectangle shape, before they link together in 2 segmented circles. As the circles turn, they slowly move right as they get wider and wider, eventually morphing into a rope-like "8". "KUHT HOUSTON" then appears.

Editor's Note: The animation is just plain simple, and the font looks rather ugly. The drum roll is also slightly ominous. It's a shame it replaced the 1978 logo, which featured more effort put into the logo than this, a rather unworthy successor to said logo too.

The logo again shifts backwards, and the background becomes a white background with gray gradient in the corners. The logo slides to the left to reveal "Houston Public Media", stacked, which slides to the right. "A SERVICE OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON" fades in below "Houston Public Media". Everything zooms in.
