=== 2nd Logo (1955) ===

'''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".

'''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.

=== 4th Logo (1956) ===

'''Logo:''' On a {{color|silver|light gray}} background, we see the text:

=== 5th Logo (1956) ===

'''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.

'''Availability:''' Extinct. This, like the 4th logo, may have been an ID.

'''Availability:''' Near extinction. Seen on ''Legacy in Sound: The Struggle'', which can be found at the University of Houston's Digital Library (where you can see the 1st, 5th, and 7th logos). The earliest confirmed sighting was on September 2, 1975. The filmed variant was seen on ''The Real World of Economics''.

'''Logo:''' On a starfield, we see "{{color|gold|'''KUHT'''}}" in a {{color|gold}}-outlined font, with "{{color|blue|HOUSTON, TEXAS}}" below it (in {{color|blue}}), rotate clockwise slowly. As it does this, it sparkles.

'''Availability:''' Near extinction. Seen on shows from the era, such as ''A Cronkite Perspective'' and ''Signing with Cindy''. Its longer counterpart was seen on ''Confrontation at Hidalgo''. Older prints should have this logo intact.

'''Logo:''' Set on a black background, we see a {{color|red}} silhouetted outline of the Houston skyline zooming toward us and wiping itself in over a {{color|blue}} grid that moves. When a star disappears, the "{{color|#FFD900|'''8'''}}" from the 7th logo, now colored {{color|#FFD900|yellow}}, zooms out and spins itself to the left, while "{{color|#FFD900|'''KUHT'''}}" simultaneously zooms out to the center from the bottom left corner of the screen. When they settle in place, two sparkles can be seen simultaneously on the logo.

'''Availability:''' Extinct. Used as a program intro tag back then.

'''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.

'''Availability:''' Extinct. It was used during their 30th anniversary as a closing bumper. Only three sources are known to exist.

'''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.

'''Availability:''' Near extinction. Seen on old prints of shows from the era, such as ''40,000 Window Panes''.

'''Logo:''' On a {{color|gray}} stone/white paint background we see a marble square with the following text on it:

'''Availability:''' Found on locally produced programs of the time, such as ''Almanac'', ''The Capitol Report'', and ''Ryan's Roundtable''. The local version is extinct.

'''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|darkviolet|purple}} behind {{color|hotpink|pink}}) and a {{color|hotpink|pink}} rectangle on a {{color|darkviolet|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.

'''Availability:''' Ultra rare, considering it was used for their 40th anniversary, but then again, most local shows produced during this cycle will preserve this.

'''Logo:''' On a {{color|#FFD900|yellow}} background with a rotating sun and moving colored streaks, we see an {{color|indigo|indigo}} square containing a curve that glows to reveal that it was part of an eclipse/sunburst like object. Below the logo is "{{color|orange|'''Houston Public Television'''}}".

'''Availability:''' Rare. Apart from locally produced programs that also contain the previous logos, it can be seen on ''The American Woodshop'', ''Live at the Woodlands'', ''Video Workshop'', and ''Tiger Cruise''. It was also used as a local ident until 2001.

'''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.

'''Availability:''' Apart from local shows like ''The Capitol Report'', it appears on the national PBS documentary ''The Story of Jesse H. Jones''. However, the previous logo was used as a station ident.

'''Logo:''' On a moving {{color|blue}}-{{color|#FFD900|yellow}} gradient background, a {{color|mediumblue|blue}} "{{color|mediumblue|'''8'''}}" is seen with a {{color|seagreen|sea green}} outline of itself behind it with a pointy curve with a spike going through it. Above the "{{color|mediumblue|'''8'''}}", we see the text "{{color|mediumblue|Houston}}{{color|seagreen|PBS}}". we see both shine and the curved spike in the "{{color|mediumblue|'''8'''}}" sparkle. Along with that, in the background, we see transparent text and 8's move. The text in the background reads "Houston" and "PBS", respectively.

*There are also some test ID's.

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

*Test ID's: Never used on television, but was uploaded to HoustonPBS' YouTube channel.

'''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.

'''Availability:''' Same as the previous logo.

'''Logo:''' We see a {{color|red}} screen which is then divided into squares that flip and shine. It reveals an odd looking stretched {{color|red}} square and the text "Houston Public Media" zooming out on an aurora background.

*Local ID: Extinct.

'''Logo:''' On a {{color|gray}}-white background, we see the same logo settle into the closeup transparent logo background. "'''Houston Public Media'''" slides in from behind the logo, while a line expands in. Finally, the byline "TV 8 News 88.7 Classical 91.7" slides below the line. The logo sparkles. As all this happens, we also see a shining transparent ribbon looking like this:

*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.

*Local ID's: Extinct.

'''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.

'''Availability:''' Only seen as a local ID. It is used occasionally with the next one below.

'''Logo:''' We see a white screen. It opens up to reveal a Houston-related scene (either the skyline, the station in its HoustonPBS years, a big yellow heart, or a hill). The Houston Public Media logo (complete with "TV 8 | PBS") fades in and zooms out. The position varies:
