Logo: On a brown wooden background, we see a white piece of paper and a yellow crayon, we then zoom out to reveal a picture of the WTVS logo drawn out with a blue crayon appearing and, “DETROIT PUBLIC TELEVISION” underneath drawn in blue crayon and “WTVS Detroit” written in the bottom right corner of the screen. | |||
Variants: There are two versions of this logo, a long version and a short version. The shorter version has been described above. The longer version consists of the blue crayon coming in first and drawing the logo before the yellow crayon joins it. | |||
FX/SFX: All CGI animation. | |||
Music/Sounds: A lively instrumental theme with dialogue between a father and a son: "Hey, what are you doing?", "Watching Detroit public television", "That’s WTVS Detroit", "I knew that". | |||
Availability: Extinct. It only appeared during PBS Kids programming in the WTVS viewing area. Only one recording has been found of the short version to this day. VHS recordings are the only way to view it. | |||
Editors Note: This is a classic ID to those who viewed it back in the day. | |||

Logo: On a filmstrip background, a box containing a stylized version of part of an eclipse (similar to the beginning of the 1994 Universal logo) zooms out from the center of the screen. As it zooms out, the words "Detroit Public TV" zoom out stacked "Detroit" on top, and "Public TV" on the bottom. Suddenly, the background morphs into one of those old "countdown" clocks as the words "WTVS Detroit" and Detroit Public TV's web address scroll across the screen. The logo may be overlaid over the 2002 CPB background in 2:35:1. If not, it has "It's Worth Your Time" below. | |||
