'''Logo:''' On a black background, the text "'''WMHT'''" appears in the middle of the screen, constantly flashing between {{color|green}} and {{color|blue}}. After a bit, the text zooms in while the flashing slows down, eventually sticking to {{color|blue}}. A white outline then wipes in over the text as the white text "SCHENECTADY" fades in below.

*There is another local variant for WMHX. In a 3D graffiti-like environment, several tiles flip in from the top and bottom of the screen, causing a {{color|gold}} "{{color|gold|'''''45'''''}}" to appear with the sphere, now in {{color|mediumblue|sapphire}}, to its right. Below that is the text "{{color|gold|''WMHX TV''}}" and "{{color|gold|''Schenectady • Albany • Troy''}}", all in a {{color|gold}} italic font. A shine wipes on the sphere.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, 9 curved lines, all in {{color|lime|lime green}}, appear one by one in a spiral pattern. When they form, 9 rays appear (though they're barely visible) and the lines change to {{color|navy|navy blue}}, then {{color|mediumvioletred|purple}}, then {{color|orange}}. When the rays turn {{color|orange}}, they and the spiral shape change back to {{color|lime|lime green}}, quickly zooming in to fill the screen with a very {{color|greenyellow|light green}}. It fades back to the current logo, which is the spiral above the text "'''wmht'''". The spiral slowly spins to the right.
