'''Logo:''' We fly over a live-action shot of downtown Detroit as the text "From WTVS/Detroit" zooms away slowly.

'''Technique:''' Simple animation for the text. Other than that, it's all live-action.

'''Logo:''' Against a {{color|darkviolet|purple}}/{{color|peru|tan}} BG, we see an abstract, {{color|plum|light purple}}, multi-lined "{{color|plum|'''56'''}}" arrange itself on a {{color|indigo|dark purple}} square as it zooms out to the top left. Then, the background fades to a skyline of Detroit, and the text "'''WTVS/Detroit'''" slides out from the bottom left of the screen.

'''Logo:''' We fade into a close-up shot of the Milky Way before zooming away, passing by the Earth, then we arrive at the Detroit skylines. As soon as the zooming stops, the words "<u>THE UNIVERSE</u>", "<u>THE WORLD</u>", and "<u>DETROIT</u>" all zoom out, stacking on each other, and then the text "''and you''" is written in in cursive, and the WTVS logo of the time fades in below.

'''Logo:''' On an animated blurry background of different shapes (like the 1998 logo), we see a spinning Taijitu (used in representing yin and yang, but lacking the dots) with one half {{color|teal}} and the other {{color|hotpink|pink}}. "{{Font|Impact|A PRODUCTION OF}}" in a white Impact-like font fades in above. A {{color|gray}} sphere (kind of like the moon) with "{{color|teal|{{Font|Impact|WTVS}}}}" in the same font and in {{color|teal}} on it zooms in. "{{Font|Impact|DETROIT}}" in the same font and in white fades in below.

'''Variation:''' There is a version of this logo without the "{{Font|Impact|A PRODUCTION OF}}" header, this was commonly used as a local funding bumper from 1993 to 1994.

'''Logo:''' The camera pans through a hallway with a bunch of PBS program clips on the walls. When it reaches the exit, the hallway is revealed to be a circle that rotates, revealing the "'''56'''" logo. The logo shines as "{{Font|Impact|QUALITY SHOWS}}" fades in below it, then fades into "{{Font|Impact|WTVS DETROIT}}".

'''Logo:''' On a {{color|saddlebrown|brown}} wooden background, we see a white piece of paper and a {{color|gold|yellow}} crayon drawing on it, before zooming out to reveal a picture of the WTVS logo drawn with a {{color|blue}} crayon appearing and “{{color|blue|'''Detroit Public Television'''}}” underneath drawn in {{color|blue}} crayon and “'''WTVS Detroit'''” written in the bottom right corner of the screen.

'''Variants:''' There's a longer version that consists of the {{color|blue}} crayon coming in first and drawing the logo before the {{color|gold|yellow}} crayon joins it.

'''Logo:''' On a blurry animated background similar to the previous logo, we see a {{color|blue}} box containing a stylized version of part of an eclipse. The texts "{{color|blue|A Production Of}}" and "{{color|blue|Detroit Public Television}}" in {{color|blue}} are above and below the 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. 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.

'''Logo:''' On a {{color|darkblue|dark blue}} tinted action background, we see "A Production of", "Detroit Public Television" and the eclipse logo between them zoom out, leaving trails behind. In the background, we see the transparent letters "'''Detroit Public Television'''". The eclipse in the square shines.

'''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.
