KUHT: Difference between revisions

* On color films, the words "KUHT FILM PRODUCTION" are in yellow while the background is black.

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

* A rare filmed variant with a {{color|blue|plain blue}} background exists.

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

* A local version exists where two bigger rectangles slide in from the right and on the right one, we see the byline reading "University of Houston Association for Community Television". Finally, {{color|mediumseagreen|green}} pieces of the "{{color|mediumseagreen|'''8'''}}" logo fly in in and then form the number.

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

** 1985-1990: An extended version of the music with a male announcer saying "KUHT, Houston Public Television".

** 1990-199?: A later local variant had a female announcer saying "This is Channel 8, KUHT, Houston Public Television."

** 199?-1992: No music, just a female announcer saying "This is KUHT, Houston."

** 1992: Same as the 1990 animated variant, but the audio is shortened.

** 1992-1993: Same as before, but with a different female announcer.

*A local variant exists. We see a close-up look of earth. We pan to the right of the globe. Suddenly, a flash appears and it continues normally, but the curve does not glow as long nor bright and starting in 1997, the following text appears in order; "Channel 8 KUHT", "University of Houston System", and "ACT", and then the text disappears. The background has smoke.

*There's a still version.

*The still variant has the announcer say "This is KUHT, Houston Public Television.", or "KUHT, Houston".

*On the local variant, a longer version of the music plays (with a piano added), and an announcer (Bob Ford) says the following, which there were 4 known renditions:

*1993?-1995?: "From the University of Houston System, in cooperation with the Association for Community Television, this is Channel 8, KUHT, Houston Public Television." Probably just a sign on variant.

*1993?-1997?: "This is KUHT, Houston Public Television."

*1997?-1999?: "From the campus of the University of Houston, this is Channel 8, KUHT Houston, aservice of the University of Houston System, and supported by the Association for Community Television."

*1999?-2001?: "This is the channel that changes you, Channel 8, KUHT, Houston Public Television."

*An enhanced, widescreen variant was used from 2007 to 2014. Once it was used locally, it had "{{color|mediumblue|KUHT-TV}}" below.

*The local station ID's are longer:

**2001-2007?: Several white ovals draw in and get stretched and squashed, all in different positions. In the background, the text starts to fade in and shrink. The 8 glows in and "Houston" slides in, and "PBS" rotates per letter. several white glowing lines go up and down the 8. A shimmering comet forms the curved spike and glows vividly. It continues normally afterwards.

**2007: March 2, 2014: The whole logo slides in and the curve can be seen being drawn. There are also bubbles behind the logo. It usually was superimposed onto the Houston skyline (one has it at night), a statue, a Ferris wheel, etc.

*Another local ID used a {{color|darkblue|dark blue}}/{{color|blue}} gradient bubbly background, which also had the URL.

*There is a variant where "{{color|mediumblue|Presents}}" was also seen.

*There are also some test ID's.

*Local variations have Bob Ford saying:

*Sometimes the local variants have the action as the audio besides the announcer.

*The test ID are silent.

*A longer version exists as a local variant. The text would fade in as the "square" zooms out to a comfortable distance.

*On the local variant, the logo starts with a synthesized flare, with a female announcer saying "This is KUHT, Houston Public Media, TV 8." On the toolkit montage, the voiceover is missing.

*The other variant has a piano tune.

*Local:

*Sometimes at the beginning of the show, the logo is on the left with the show's name on the right, without the ribbon. The closing version has the regular logo positioning, but with a copyright stamp reading (© *year* Houston Public Media".

*Starting on April 22, 2016, the ribbon is missing and the text reads "TV 8 | PBS". Below is " News and Information | Arts & Culture | Education".

*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.

*The same local audio variant as the previous, but a bit shifted.

*On the "KUHT-HOUSTON" variants, the announcer says "This is Houston Public Media, KUHT Houston, TV 8."

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