'''Logo:''' A crude drawing of a school is seen, next to "{{Font|Serif|'''KCTS'''}}" with a big "'''9'''" behind it, and "{{Font|Courier|'''seattle'''}}" above it all. All of this is seen in a white background, possibly a sheet of cardboard. | '''Logo:''' A crude drawing of a school is seen, next to "{{Font|Serif|'''KCTS'''}}" with a big "'''9'''" behind it, and "{{Font|Courier|'''seattle'''}}" above it all.

'''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 "{{color|salmon|{{Font|Serif|'''KCTS'''}}}}" in big bold 3D letters, with "{{color|salmon|{{Font|Serif|'''SEATTLE'''}}}}" moving up towards "{{color|salmon|{{Font|Serif|'''KCTS'''}}}}" and stopping once it's close enough to that text, leaving a trail effect behind. | '''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.

''' | '''Technique:''' The trail effects, zooming and slides. | ||
'''Music/Sounds:''' An analog synth drone, followed by a female announcer saying "A production of KCTS Seattle". Afterwards, an upward piano sweep. | '''Music/Sounds:''' An analog synth drone, followed by a female announcer saying "A production of KCTS Seattle". Afterwards, an upward piano sweep. | ||

'''Logo:''' An updated version of the previous logo, with the same concept and similar animation/music. Against a black background, four {{color|blue}} abstract number "{{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 "{{color|blue|'''KCTS'''}}" in blue zooms in. "{{color|blue|'''KCTS'''}}" stops and the text "'''SEATTLE'''" in the same font, but white and glowing, appears below. | '''Logo:''' An updated version of the previous logo, with the same concept and similar animation/music.

''' | '''Technique:''' The numbers merging together; the outline; the numbers moving away; "KCTS" zooming in; "Seattle" appearing and glowing. Similar to the last logo, though slightly more primitive on the animation side (not the design, though). | ||
'''Music/Sounds:''' Same as the last logo, although the announcer is not as robotic. Sometimes, the announcer will say "The following is a production of KCTS Seattle." instead of simply "A production of KCTS Seattle." instead. Sometimes a male announcer will also be used instead. | '''Music/Sounds:''' Same as the last logo, although the announcer is not as robotic.

'''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/{{color|navy|dark sapphire}} gradient BG instead of the usual {{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". | '''Variant:''' Among other PBS-Affiliated stations of this time, KCTS used a bunch of local station IDs promoting their channel.

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

''' | '''Technique:''' The zoom-out, and the drawing in of the tubes. It's not too bad animation for the 1990s. | ||

'''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 ''{{color|maroon|'''SEATTLE'''}}'', in {{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 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.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A simple jazz-pop tune combined with two piano notes and two fast bass violin notes as the words slide into place. All accompanied by a groovy beat box. | '''Music/Sounds:''' A simple jazz-pop tune combined with two piano notes and two fast bass violin notes as the words slide into place.

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