'''KPBS''' is a [[PBS]] affiliate located in San Diego, California. KPBS was founded in 1960 by San Diego State College (now San Diego State University) as a radio station that went under the name KEBS; in 1967, KEBS began broadcasting on television as an NET affiliate.

'''Visuals:''' On a black background, a red-tinted glass rectangle is seen, with a lot of 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 pink sparkling seems to die down. |
||
'''Technique:''' Live-action model work. |
|||
'''FX/SFX:''' The turning logo, and the pink sparkling all over. It's quite obviously using a model on a black cloth with lights going through it. |
|||
''' |
'''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. |
||
'''Availability:''' |
'''Availability:''' Seen on KPBS shows from the era, such as ''Newsthink'' episodes. |
||
⚫ | |||
'''Editor's Note:''' The music and dark atmosphere may get to some, but this is a futuristic logo with an interesting concept, even though it looks like it was made using a Virtual Boy. |

⚫ | '''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 yellow/orange gradient cursive font fades in below. |

'''Editor's Note:''' The music and the font can be seen as unnerving, but it's a fine logo; one that wasn't discovered until very recently. |

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. |

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. |

Variant: A short version just has the "San Diego" text fading in.
Technique: 2D animation.
