===6th ID (September 2, 1975-1977)===

'''Visuals:''' Over a black/{{color|mediumblue|opal}} background is 8 rectangles wiping from the top and bottom 3 times, with them switching positions. Then the rectangles then chase each other, confined to an 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 next to the "8".

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

===7th ID (January 1978-1983)===

'''Visuals:''' On a starfield is "{{color|gold|'''KUHT'''}}" in a {{color|gold}}-outlined font, with "{{color|blue|HOUSTON, TEXAS}}" below it, both rotating clockwise slowly and sparkling along the way.

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

===8th ID (Late 1970's-1980's)===

'''Visuals:''' Set on a black background, a {{color|red}} silhouetted outline of the Houston skyline zooms toward the camera and wipes itself in over a {{color|blue}} grid that moves. When a star disappears, the "{{color|gold|'''8'''}}" from the previous logo, now colored {{color|gold|yellow}}, zooms out and spins itself to the left, while "{{color|gold|'''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.

===9th ID (1983)===

'''Visuals:''' Over a black background is 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.
