'''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.
