KPBS is a [[Public Broadcasting Service|PBS]] affiliate located in San Diego, California. KPBS was founded in 1960 by San Diego State College (now San Diego State University), as a radio station that went under the name KEBS; in 1967 KEBS began broadcasting on television as an NET affiliate. In 1970, after NET folded in to New York City/Newark station WNDT (Now WNET), PBS absorbed NET's operations and KEBS changed its name to KPBS. | |||

'''Logo:''' On a black background, we see the {{Font color|deepskyblue|light blue}} text "{{Font color|deepskyblue|{{Font|Serif|'''KPBS'''}}}}" in the standard PBS typeface with a blue glow around it. The "{{Font color|deepskyblue|{{Font|Serif|'''KPBS'''}}}}" shines throughout the logo. The words "{{Font color|#FFD900|'''''San Diego'''''}}" in a {{Font color|#FFD900|yellow}} stylized cursive, are written out (a la the [[Almi Television Productions|ALMI]] logo) as the outline of the letters flashes at the viewer, at sort of a tilted position (a la the [[Celebrity Home Entertainment]] logo). Once the text is completed, the outline flashing goes back into the words. | |||

A normal sized copy slowly moves up to the middle. A copyright in Roman numerals appears as the text zooms in and fades out and the background darkens. "'''S A N D I E G O'''" moves down quickly from the top of the screen and meets up with the logo as the background darkens to a point that the copies are barely visible and a picture of a shell casting a shadow over a concrete surface fades in below. | |||
'''Variant:''' A later version has the logo much cheaper looking (the copies don't zoom in, the logo and text are smaller), with "A PRODUCTION OF" and a normal copyright date appearing in a different font. | '''Variant:''' A later version has the logo much cheaper looking (the copies don't zoom in, the logo and text are smaller), with "A PRODUCTION OF" and a normal copyright date appearing in a different font. | ||
