''' | '''Technique:''' The zooming of the camera and text, plus the writing of "and you". Decent animation for the 1980s. | ||
'''Music/Sounds:''' A majestic eight-note synthesized orchestra tune, with a "ding" at the beginning. The shorter version uses a quicker, 10-note synth tune, and the production variant has a shorter version of this. | '''Music/Sounds:''' A majestic eight-note synthesized orchestra tune, with a "ding" at the beginning.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A mild action news-like fanfare which then turns into harp music and the four notes from the previous logo on a flute followed by a bassoon. On the abridged variant, an announcer says "You're watching WTVS, Channel 56 in Detroit." | '''Music/Sounds:''' A mild action news-like fanfare which then turns into harp music and the four notes from the previous logo on a flute followed by a bassoon.

'''Trivia:''' The "Eclipse" logo in this ident came from a public produced-organization company called LARK International, which is its parent original company, next to PBS. The company had also formerly owned [[KUHT]]/Houston Public Television (now HoustonPBS) until around 2003. The company, however also owns KCTS Seattle, who currently carries the "Eclipse" logo. | '''Trivia:''' The "Eclipse" logo in this ident came from a public produced-organization company called LARK International, which is its parent original company, next to PBS.

'''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, with "'''Detroit'''" settling on top and "'''Public TV'''" settling below it. Suddenly, the background morphs into a "countdown" clock as the words "WTVS Detroit" and Detroit Public TV's web address scroll across the screen. The logo may be overlaid over the 2002 [[Corporation for Public Broadcasting|CPB]] background in 2:35:1. If not, it has "It's Worth Your Time" below. | '''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.
