'''Visuals:''' On a black background, a {{color|red}}-tinted glass rectangle is seen, with a lot of {{color|deeppink|pink}} sparkling on it. It revolves around until "{{color|red|'''KPBS'''}}" is seen inside it. "{{color|red|'''SAN DIEGO'''}}" in CG Omega font fades in below. Once the logo is in place, the {{color|deeppink|pink}} sparkling seems to die down. |

FX/SFX: The turning logo, and the pink sparkling all over... |
|||
'''Audio:''' An outer-spacey synthesized twinkle sound that sounds like the opening notes to ''Street Fighter II'' on the SNES. This is actually the 4th track of "Sound Patterns with ID" from "Four Notes In Search Of A Tune" by Don Voegeli. |

'''Visuals:''' On a black background, a white outline for the text "'''KPBS'''" in a font similar to that of the 1971 PBS logo wipes in downwards, filling in with a {{color|deepskyblue|light blue}}/black gradient after it's finished. The cursive text "''San Diego''" in a {{color|gold|yellow}}/{{color|orange}} gradient cursive font fades in below. |
|||
'''Variant:''' A short version just has the "''San Diego''" text fading in. |

'''Technique:''' 2D animation. |

2nd Logo |
|||
(1984-1991) |
|||
'''Audio:''' A steady synth tone shifting slightly off tempo, with a series of beeps and tones when the "''San Diego''" text fades in. The short version also has extra notes playing throughout. |
|||
'''Availability:''' The normal (long) version appeared on ''Big Mama Thornton'', while the short version appeared on ''Ballad of an Unsung Hero''. |
|||
===3rd ID (1985-1991)=== |
|||
Logo: On a black background, we see a light blue "KPBS" in the standard PBS typeface with a blue glow around it. The "KPBS" shines throughout the logo. A yellow cursive stylized "San Diego" is written out (a la the ALMI logo) as the outline of the letters flashes at the viewer, at sort of a tilted position (a la the Celebrity Home Entertainment logo). Once the "San Diego" is completed, the outline flashing goes back into the words. |

The "{{color|deepskyblue|{{Font|Serif|'''KPBS'''}}}}" shines throughout the logo. The words "{{color|gold|'''''San Diego'''''}}" in a stylized cursive are written out (a la the [[Almi Television Productions|ALMI]] logo) as the outline of the letters flashes at the viewer, at sort of a tilted position (a la the [[Celebrity Home Entertainment]] logo). Once the text is completed, the outline flashing goes back into the words. |
|||
FX/SFX: The shining, "writing" and flashing. All typical '80s computer effects. Not too bad for the time, though. |
|||
'''Technique:''' Backlit animation. |
|||
Music/Sounds: An ascending, and then descending, synthesized piano crescendo. It ends with what sounds like a synthesized French horn note. |

A normal sized copy slowly moves up to the middle. A copyright in Roman numerals appears as the text zooms in and fades out and the background darkens. "'''S A N D I E G O'''" moves down quickly from the top of the screen and meets up with the logo as the background darkens to a point that the copies are barely visible and a picture of a shell casting a shadow over a concrete surface fades in below. |
