KUHT: Difference between revisions

* A variant found in 1956 had "channel 8" in place of "FILM" and "HOUSTON" in place of "PRODUCTION".

'''Music/Sounds:''' None.

'''Logo:''' We see a {{color|gray|grayish}} background with three variations of gray on each 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 "KUHT". Below both of those is the word "HOUSTON", in a similar box to "CHANNEL".

'''Music/Sounds:''' None.

'''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. Afterwards, the logo fades out.

'''Music/Sounds:''' An announcer says "The pioneer of American educational television, this is KUHT-TV Channel 8 in Houston".

in Futura in black.

'''Music/Sounds:''' None.

'''Logo:''' Proceeding the 4th logo, we see a {{color|darkgray|dark gray}} background with a chalkboard with the word "'''KUHT'''" repeated on it three times. Next to the board is a white "8". Behind the "8" is a barely visible outline of a body with a college graduate hat and a stick, pointing to the chalkboard.

'''Music/Sounds:''' There's an announcer, but no music.

'''Logo:''' Just an in-credit logo with the words "'''BY KUHT'''". "'''KUHT'''" is bigger than the word "'''BY'''" and under it.

'''Music/Sounds:''' None.

* On ''Galveston: The Gilded Age of the Golden Aisle'', Bishop's Place fades in front of the 8.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A drum and brass ensemble with air effects and an announcer saying "This is a presentation of KUHT Houston."

'''Variant:''' Sometimes, it will have a black background and the animation is longer, had two copies, and both completely turn all the way.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A space-like synth theme, sampled from the beginning of "Oxygene Part 1" by Jean Michel Jarre.

'''Variant:''' A blonde-haired female musician who is singing about KUHT.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Probably the opening theme, just like the 1979 auction they aired this on.

'''Logo:''' Over a black background, we see a {{color|blue}} ribbon with some {{color|red}} and white stripes and a white circle with a {{color|blue}} outline in the middle. The ribbon reads "{{Font|Serif|'''CELEBRATING'''}}" on the left and "{{Font|Serif|'''30 YEARS'''}}" on the right. At the top, the circle reads "{{color|blue|*KUHT*}}" and at the bottom, the text reads "{{color|blue|*HOUSTON TEXAS*}}". Inside the ribbon circle, a {{color|peru|bronze}} version of the "{{color|peru|'''8'''}}" in the previous logos slowly rotates clockwise.

'''Music/Sounds:''' An upward square wave synth scale that later decreases at the end.

'''Logo:''' The same logo from the 8th logo slides in from the top of the screen at a tilted position, then settles into place, a la [[Parade Video]]. Sparkles can be seen on the logo.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A timpani drum roll.

* A still variant exists. It was also seen as a sign on/sign off without the UH/ACT byline.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A piano and synth trumpet fanfare.

'''Logo:''' We see a flashback of the previous logos from the first to the fourth one, until we fade into the "{{color|limegreen|'''8'''}}" logo in {{color|limegreen|green}} on 2 ripped pieces of papers ({{color|purple}} behind {{color|hotpink|pink}}) and a {{color|hotpink|pink}} rectangle on a {{color|purple}}/black gradient background with confetti. Below the "{{color|limegreen|'''8'''}}" is the text "HOUSTON PUBLIC TELEVISION" and a {{color|limegreen|green}} marquee with a {{color|mediumblue|blue}} dropshadow and the text "F O R T Y Y E A R S".

'''Music/Sounds:''' A calm synth/piano tune.

*There's a still version.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A five note synth bell with a drumbeat at the end.

'''Logo:''' On a marble {{color|seagreen|sea green}}-white background, we see many eclipse/sunburst-like object surrounding the square with the eclipse/sunburst-like object from before and text zoom out as a {{color|#FFD900|yellow}} abstract eclipse turns white, but the square is bigger and the "{{color|blue|'''Houston Public Television'''}}" text is in {{color|blue}} and set in Helvetica Bold. The text flips in in a curtain vent like style. Finally, the logo and text shine and the "eclipse" glows.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Same as the previous logo.

*There are also some test ID's.

*Normal: The shining and sparkling.

*Local: The glowing of the 8 and the comet, in addition to the normal animation.

'''Logo:''' On a {{color|blue}} tinted background, we see the Houston skyline when all of a sudden, "{{color|silver|'''HoustonPBS National'''}}", in {{color|silver|silver}}, appears via a shining effect and slowly zooms in.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A synthesized note followed by a phasing sound.

*A version exists where on a black background, the logo's parts fly in to its places.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A 5-note synth bell tune followed by strings. Composed by Alan Villatoro.

*Starting on July 14, 2016, the last time the logo was used, the logo, now unstacked, is 2D, and either "TV 8 | PBS" is lower down to make room for "A SERVICE OF THE'''UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON'''", and the letters just fade in, except for "TV 8" and "PBS" which slide from "|", or just a line expands, and the UH byline slides, along with the same copyright stamp.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Same as the previous logo. On the new variant, it begins with the flare, but without the strings. This version was also used for the older variant.

'''Logo:''' We see some images from the University of Houston and the HPM logo in 2D. We the fade in to a certain scene of the UH with the text "UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON" and "A CARNEGIE DESIGNATED TIER-ONE PUBLIC RESEARCH UNIVERSITY" with a line drawing onto the logo. There are three known variants.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A rock theme and the same female announcer saying (in a different take) "This is Houston Public Media, KUHT-Houston, TV 8, broadcast from the University of Houston, Houston's public tier-one University."

'''Variant:''' Starting on July 22, 2016, "TV 8 | PBS" is slightly lower down to make space for "A SERVICE OF THE'''UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON'''".

'''Music/Sounds/Voice-over:''' Same as the 12th logo's early-to mid variant, but the voiceover comes in a bit later.

*Closing: Same as the final result, but the logo is on top of "'''Houston Public Media'''", which is on top of 'A SERVICE OF THE'''UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON'''", which is now stacked as well. The whole thing fades and zooms in, except for a copyright stamp below.
