Background

Milwaukee Public Television is a PBS affiliate located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

1st Logo (1965-1970)

{{Expansion depth limit exceeded| align=center | mode=packed | height=200 | width= |File:Milpbs1st.png| }}

Logo: On a photo of the Milwaukee skyline, we see two TV tube-like shapes (not like in the Mark Goodson logo), the big one having "10" inside it, and "WMVS" on the bottom, and the small one having "36" inside it, and "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.

Music/Sounds: 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")

2nd Logo (1970-1983)

Expansion depth limit exceeded{{Expansion depth limit exceeded|id=3Tayo4i5bE|id2=iXLoi6oRz7k}}

Logo: On a black background, we see a white, wavy, swirly thing waving all over, while ten pentagons, five {{Expansion depth limit exceeded|limegreen|green}}, and five {{Expansion depth limit exceeded|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 we fade out.

Technique: Early '70s scanimation.

Music/Sounds: A '70s-esque Moog synth sound.

Availability: See above. It was also seen on Hatha Yoga.

3rd Logo (1975?-1988)

{{Expansion depth limit exceeded| align=center | mode=packed | height=200 | width= |File:Milpbs1975.png| |File:Milpbs19752.png| }}

Logo: On a black background, we see a {{Expansion depth limit exceeded|saddlebrown|brown}}/{{Expansion depth limit exceeded|hotpink|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.

Music/Sounds: Probably an announcer saying "You're watching WMVS and WMVT in Milwaukee, 10 and 36."

Availability: It was likely used as a station ID, but it also showed up in the 50th anniversary special.

4th Logo (1988-1993?)

{{Expansion depth limit exceeded| align=center | mode=packed | height=200 | width= |File:Milpbs1988.png| }}

Expansion depth limit exceeded

Logo: On a black-{{Expansion depth limit exceeded|deepskyblue|blue}} gradient background, we see a {{Expansion depth limit exceeded|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 "{{Expansion depth limit exceeded|deepskyblue|WMVS}}" and "{{Expansion depth limit exceeded|deepskyblue|WMVT}}". They then turn and face each other, and we cut to the program intro.

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: A synth-pop drum beat sound, then two orchestral drums and an orchestral hit at the end.

Availability: Seen on many shows from this period, like I Remember, Smith & Company, Tracks Ahead, Outdoor Wisconsin, etc.

5th Logo (1993?-2000)

{{Expansion depth limit exceeded| align=center | mode=packed | height=200 | width= |File:Milpbs1993.png| |File:Milpbs1993wide.png|

}}{{Expansion depth limit exceeded|id=P00WqQRTgzs|id2=YqvpSyWH75E}}

Logo: On a black background, we see a big pentagon containing the Milwaukee skyline. Then it splits into five smaller pentagons at the same time "{{Expansion depth limit exceeded|silver|MILWAUKEE}}" slides in from the left. A bit later, "{{Expansion depth limit exceeded|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 zoomed-in widescreen variant exists.

Technique: Computerized 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: A quiet synth-country note followed by a cymbal.

Availability: Seen on programming of the era.

6th Logo (2000-2001)

{{Expansion depth limit exceeded| align=center | mode=packed | height=200 | width= |File:Milpbs2000.png| }}

Expansion depth limit exceeded

Logo: On a black background, we see a person with highway like arms and "MPTV" carved below zoom in against a drop shadow that is zooming out. Above that is "PRODUCTION OF" spaced out. All of a sudden, the "person" zooms out, shines, and the words "MILWAUKEE PUBLIC TELEVISION" zoom out via a trail effect. The logo shines as a white square "blinds" in.

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: Same as the previous logo.

Availability: Rare, considering its short lifespan.

7th Logo (2001-2004)

{{Expansion depth limit exceeded| align=center | mode=packed | height=200 | width= |File:Milpbs2001.png| }}

Expansion depth limit exceeded

Logo: Over the Milwaukee skyline, as we pan to the left, we see signals being emmited from the centre. "PRODUCTION OF" centres in and fades out. "{{Expansion depth limit exceeded|Impact|mptv}}" fades in and then above fades in "MILWAUKEE" and below "PUBLIC TELEVISION". The P-Head flips into place.

Technique: Live-action and 2D CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: A short piano tune.

Availability: Uncommon.

8th Logo (2004-2006)

{{Expansion depth limit exceeded| align=center | mode=packed | height=200 | width= |File:Milpbs2004.png| }}

Expansion depth limit exceeded

Logo: We see the same background from the 2002 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. The PBS logo fades in and zooms out from the left, wiping in the italic letters "{{Expansion depth limit exceeded|Impact|mptv}}" from the previous logo, beating from right to left, and zooming out. Above fades in "MILWAUKEE" and below "PUBLIC TELEVISION". The tower fades in place of another.

Variant: For local 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 {{Expansion depth limit exceeded|green}} tint.

Technique: 2D CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: Same as the previous logo.

Music/Sounds Variants:

I Remember uses a big band style jazz tune, that is actually part of its theme song.
Tracks Ahead uses the Choo Choo of a train followed by the sound of the train on the tracks.
Outdoor Wisconsin uses the call of a loon.

Availability: Common, seen on local productions such as Outdoor Wisconsin, Black Noveau, Adelante!, The Arts Page with Mike Gosha, 10nThirtySix starring Portia Young, Around the Corner with John McGivirin, I Remember!, Smith and Company and Tracks Ahead.

9th Logo (2006-December 1, 2009)

{{Expansion depth limit exceeded| align=center | mode=packed | height=200 | width= |File:Milpbs2006.png| }} Logo: On a hazy background filtered on the Milwaukee City Hall building zooming up, the same "PRODUCTION OF" on a black rectangle fades in. Sun rays appear with the MPTV logo animation in the previous logo except a bit more rough and zoomed in. A bigger PBS logo in the background moves from right to left in the background. The city hall then fades to the Milwaukee Art Museum.

Variant: On its 50th anniversary, a celebrating badge was shown in front at the beginning, which then zooms out to reveal the MPTV logo.

Technique: 2D CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: Same as the 7th logo.

Music/Sounds Variants: Same as the 7th logo

Availability: Same as the previous logo.

10th Logo (December 2, 2009-2012)

{{Expansion depth limit exceeded| align=center | mode=packed | height=200 | width= |File:Milpbs2009.png| }} Logo: On the purple version of the PBS logo background at the time with the Milwaukee Art Museum's wings slowly moving. A big bubble is seen in the centre leaning right with "PRODUCTION OF" on top. The "MPTV" letters appear one-by-one. The words "MILWAUKEE" and "PUBLIC TELEVISION" swipe in from different sides as the PBS logo fades in.
