It revolves around until we see "{{Font color|red|'''KPBS'''}}" inside it. "{{Font color|red|'''SAN DIEGO'''}}", in a red CG Omega font, fades in below. Once the logo's in place, the {{Font color|deeppink|pink}} sparkling seems to die down. | ||

'''Logo:''' On a black background, an white outline for the text "'''KPBS'''" in a font similar to that of the 1971 PBS logo wiping in downwards, filling in with a {{Font color|deepskyblue|light blue}}/black gradient after it's finished. The cursive text "''San Diego''" in a {{Font color|#FFD900|yellow}}/{{Font color|orange|orange}} gradient cursive font fades in below. | |||
'''Variant:''' A short version just has the "''San Diego''" text fading in. | |||
'''FX/SFX:''' The shining, "writing" and flashing. All typical '80s computer effects. Not too bad for the time, though. | |||
'''Music/Sounds:''' An steady synth tone shifting slightly off tempo, with a series of beeps and tones when the "''San Diego''" text fades in. The short version also has extra notes playing throughout. | |||
'''Availability:''' Extremely rare. The normal long version appeared on ''Big Mama Thornton'', while the short version appeared on ''Ballad of an Unsung Hero''. | |||
'''Editor's Note:''' The music and the font can be seen as unnerving, but it's a fine logo; one that wasn't discovered until very recently. | |||
