KCTS-TV: Difference between revisions

'''Logo:''' Against a black background, four white number "'''9'''"s come together from each side of the screen (top, bottom, left, and right), then they zoom in towards the screen leaving a trail effect behind. Then we fade to "{{Font color|salmon|{{Font|Serif|'''KCTS'''}}}}" in big bold 3D letters, with "{{Font color|salmon|{{Font|Serif|'''SEATTLE'''}}}}" moving up towards "{{Font color|salmon|{{Font|Serif|'''KCTS'''}}}}" and stopping once it's close enough to that text, leaving a trail effect behind.

'''Logo:''' An updated version of the previous logo, with the same concept and similar animation/music. Against a black background, four {{Font color|blue|blue}} abstract number "{{Font color|blue|'''9'''}}"s come together with a trail effect to form a square like shape. As they come together, a beige colored outline of the shape forms as the trails suck into the logo. The numbers separate and rotate beyond the screen as the name "{{Font color|blue|'''KCTS'''}}" in blue zooms in. "{{Font color|blue|'''KCTS'''}}" stops and the text "'''SEATTLE'''" in the same font, but white and glowing, appears below.

'''Logo:''' Over a faded {{Font color|dodgerblue|bright cerulean}} background, we see the word "{{Font color|#FFD900|{{Font|Century Gothic|'''Seattle'''}}}}", in Century Gothic and colored yellow, zoom out to the right, very quickly. As it does this, "{{Font color|#FFD900|{{Font|Century Gothic|'''KCTS'''}}}}", in the same font and color, zoom out from the top to the left, very slowly. When both "{{Font color|#FFD900|{{Font|Century Gothic|'''KCTS'''}}}}" and "{{Font color|#FFD900|{{Font|Century Gothic|'''Seattle'''}}}}" meet, forming "{{Font color|#FFD900|{{Font|Century Gothic|'''KCTSeattle'''}}}}", a {{Font color|#FFD900|yellow}} flash occurs, and the logo seems to sparkle a bit before we fade out.

'''Variant:''' Among other PBS-Affiliated stations of this time, KCTS used a bunch of local station IDs promoting their channel. In this promo, we see many clips of shows (either produced by KCTS itself and/or PBS, and other affiliates) being shown to us. After a whole bunch of shows are seen, then we see the KCTSeattle logo (which animates the same way as it does in the above-mentioned logo, only with a black/{{Font color|navy|dark sapphire}} gradient BG instead of the usual {{Font color|dodgerblue|bright cerulean}}), and then the channel station number "9" animates itself by flying away from the viewer, and place itself next to the text. Then, we see the text "TV Worth Watching" in a white script font write itself under the text. Another version has the normal background without "TV Worth Watching".

'''Logo:''' Against a black background, we zoom out from what appears to be a glass circle with a spectrum shining through, and "{{Font color|sienna|'''KCTS'''}}" in {{Font color|sienna|copper}} carved into the circle. While we zoom out, the solid "{{Font color|sienna|'''KCTS'''}}" logo pushes into the circle, and the word "{{Font color|moccasin|S E A T T L E}}", in Hattenschweiler and colored {{Font color|moccasin|beige}}, and on a {{Font color|teal|teal-colored}} dip, rotates into place, plus two glass tubes draw themselves in going on both sides, then we fade out.

'''Logo:''' On a white spotlight background, a black box containing a stylized drawing of an eclipse flips into the screen very fast along with the word "'''""<font face="Century Gothic">KCTS</font>""'''", in black and in Century Gothic. Soon after, the word ''{{Font color|maroon|'''SEATTLE'''}}'', in {{Font color|maroon|maroon}}, flies in from the bottom-left of the screen. Sometime in the mid-2000's, a different variant was used and looked similar, but the logo just simply zooms in.

'''Logo:''' On a water background, we see water drops rippling and four colored circles (in order: {{Font color|limegreen|green}}, {{Font color|#FFD900|yellow}}, {{Font color|purple|violet}}, and {{Font color|orange|orange}}) drop and float. "KCTS9" drops down at the last circle. "SEATTLE" fades in below.
