1st ID (1972)
ID: On a black background, we see a circular arrow resembling a stylized number 5 (the channel's number, circled by the rainbow-colored words "WCVB-TV" above and "BOSTON" below. It then fades into several of these "5"s in different colors bunched up together. A montage showing WCVB workers than plays out.
Technique: Crossfading.
Music/Sounds: An announcer says "This is WCVB-TV, the new channel 5!", followed by funk music.
Availability: Used as a sign-on ident around the time.
2nd ID (1976-1977)
ID: ABC's "Let Us Be the One!" ID. There's a byline with "WCVB-tv" on the left, the station's logo in the middle, and "Boston" on the right.
Technique: See ABC.
Music/Sounds: Unknown
Availability: Extinct.
3rd ID (1981-198?)
ID: On a space background, we see "WCVB 5" (with "5" being the station's stylized 5 logo) with blue beams coming from it above. Below is the small text "BOSTON" right-aligned.
Technique: None.
Music/Sounds: Just an announcer.

(1995-1999)
Logo: Based on Hearst Television's ID package at thetime, taking place on a close-up of a camera lens with orange and lavender lights moving around it, a large ABC print logo tilts and zooms back to the the top left, illuminated in silver and then turning dark as it settles in position. As this happens, the WCVB "5" logo in white over a red square appears in front on its side at a slight angle, and zooms out to the right side of the screen while rotating clockwise into view. Station ID info fades in on the left in the Bank Gothic font, with the call letters on top and city/cities below in smaller, spaced out text with a line in between both and on the left (or right in WDTN's version) of the latter.
Trivia: These were made by LoConte-Goldman Design in Boston, MA, and was part of a larger branding and graphics package mandate for the Hearst stations that was also designed at the same agency, all based on a "camera lens" theme.
Technique: CGI.
Music/Sounds: A short brass-based fanfare from the "Image News" music package. Composed by Gari Communications (now known as Gari Media Group) and was originally commissioned by Hearst as part of the aforementioned mandate.
