'''Visuals:''' On a photo of the Milwaukee skyline, there are two TV tube-like shapes (not like in the Mark Goodson logo), the big one having "10" inside it, and "{{font|serif|'''wmvs'''}}" on the bottom, and the small one having "36" inside it, and "{{font|serif|'''wmvt'''}}" on the bottom. If you look closely on one of the buildings in the background, you can find the NET logo in white.
'''Technique:''' None; it's a still logo.
'''Audio:''' None.
'''Availability:''' May be on some old tapes at the Museum of Broadcast Television and Radio, but it did make an appearance on the 50th anniversary special (called "MPTV: 50 Years of Being More").

'''Visuals:''' On a black background, there is a white, wavy, swirly thing waving all over, while ten pentagons, five green, and five blue, spin from the right of the screen. The wave moves over to the right to reveal the text "A PRODUCTION OF WMVS MILWAUKEE", and the screen fades out.
'''Technique:''' Early '70s scanimation.
'''Audio:''' A '70s-esque Moog synth sound.
'''Availability:''' See above. It was also seen on ''Hatha Yoga''.

'''Visuals:''' On a black background, there is a brown/pink glass marquee, comprised of the same pentagons, with the number 10 inside, turning into place. "WMVS MILWAUKEE" is below the logo. Then, the same marquee spins, but with the number 36 inside it, and the "S" in the call letters changes to a "T".
'''Technique:''' Practical effects.
'''Audio:''' Probably an announcer saying "You're watching WMVS and WMVT in Milwaukee, 10 and 36."

'''Visuals:''' On a black-blue gradient background, there is a {{color|silver|silver}} pedestal. "A Production Of" and "Milwaukee", on top and bottom, respectively, zoom out a bit. At the same time, jumbled polygons tumble into place and form "{{color|deepskyblue|'''WMVS'''}}" and "{{color|deepskyblue|'''WMVT'''}}". They then turn and face each other, and we cut to the program intro.
'''Technique:''' CGI.
'''Audio:''' A synth-pop drum beat sound, then two orchestral drums and an orchestral hit at the end.

'''Visuals:''' On a black background, there is a big pentagon containing the Milwaukee skyline. Then it splits into five smaller pentagons at the same time "{{color|silver|'''MILWAUKEE'''}}" slides in from the left. A bit later, "{{color|silver|Public Television}}" slides in from the bottom and zooms out into place, and pentagons glow as they spin. They seem to get smaller, that they begin to form a star in middle and stop.
'''Variant:''' A <u>zoomed-in</u> widescreen variant exists.
'''Technique:''' Computerized 2D animation.
'''Audio:''' A quiet synth-country note followed by a cymbal, which is a snippet of "Mercy Street" by Peter Gabriel.

'''Visuals:''' There is the same background from the 2002 [[Corporation for Public Broadcasting|CPB]] logo, superimposed into a tower and camera, with a long, black rectangle stretching out throughout the screen on top. Inside of that is "PRODUCTION OF" stretching into view.

Above fades in "MILWAUKEE" and below "PUBLIC TELEVISION". The tower fades in place of another.
'''Variant:''' For <u>local</u> use, "PRODUCTION OF" and the rectangle is absent. Below is "(WMVS/WMVT) · WMVS-DT · MILWAUKEE" and then "Viewer-Supported Service of MATC". For WMVT, it has a green tint.
