'''Visuals:''' On a black background, a white circle fades in in the center of the screen. The circle begins to rotate counterclockwise, gradually "unfolding" into three separate circles, each which fill in from the center with a color. One circle becomes red, one becomes blue, and one becomes green. As the circles continue to spin, a yellow circle with three holes cut out of it at the edges fades in in the foreground, first appearing extremely close to the screen, but then zooming out to the point where the circle‘s holes are equal in size to the spinning circles, while spinning in a clockwise direction. The circles and the yellow shape continue to spin in opposite directions, coming to a stop when they lock together and the red circle is in the top hole, the blue circle is in the bottom-left hole, and the green circle is in the bottom-right hole. The finished logo resembles an abstract film cylinder. |

'''Visuals:''' On a dark blue background, there is a giant 3D cylinder with three holes cut out of it (likely to represent a filmreel or a tube where colors shoot out of the holes to create a color picture on a TV screen). It looks like the cylinder from the last logo, except it's white. The cylinder spins while ""'''Georgia Public Television'''" in a gray chrome Friz Quadrata font zooms in from the top-left of the screen. 3 lasers of red, green, and blue zap through the holes, filling them with their respective colors. The cylinder becomes a 2D circle, resting to the right of "'''Public'''". The logo shines a little before fading to black. |

Georgia Public Broadcasting is the statewide PBS affiliate located in Georgia. The headquarters are located in Atlanta, where the flagship station WGTV is located. It started in 1960 as "Georgia Educational Television" to make educational and instructional shows. In 1970, it changed its name to "Georgia Public Television" (GPTV), although the "Georgia Educational Television Network" brand ran concurrently with the new name until the late 1970s. In 1984, the company entered radio business for the first time. In January 2004, GPTV was rebranded to the name of its parent organization, Georgia Public Broadcasting (GPB).

Visuals: On a black background, a white circle fades in in the center of the screen. The circle begins to rotate counterclockwise, gradually "unfolding" into three separate circles, each which fill in from the center with a color. One circle becomes red, one becomes blue, and one becomes green. As the circles continue to spin, a yellow circle with three holes cut out of it at the edges fades in in the foreground, first appearing extremely close to the screen, but then zooming out to the point where the circle‘s holes are equal in size to the spinning circles, while spinning in a clockwise direction. The circles and the yellow shape continue to spin in opposite directions, coming to a stop when they lock together and the red circle is in the top hole, the blue circle is in the bottom-left hole, and the green circle is in the bottom-right hole. The finished logo resembles an abstract film cylinder.
Trivia: This logo was originally used as a color ID before being recycled as the company's main logo.
Technique: Likely done with cel animation for the colored circles and early computer animation or Scanimate for the yellow circle.
Audio: A slow, rather somber piece featuring a celesta, strings, and a harp flourish at the end. As the yellow cutout zooms out, an male announcer says one of two things:
Availability: This logo was spotted on a recording of an episode of Down Home Georgia Music. It is unknown at this time what other shows may have had this logo.
Visuals: A blue circle zooms out on a red background. As it heads for the bottom left of the screen and eventually stops, the red background zooms out, and we see that it is actually a red circle on a green background. The red circle continues to zoom out until it plasters itself to the top right of the blue circle. When the green background zooms out, it reveals itself as a green circle on a yellow background. The green circle places itself to the right of the blue one. The yellow background zooms out, which is actually a yellow circle on a black background. As it zooms out, goes behind all the other circles, and stops, it reveals the words "GEORGIA PUBLIC TELEVISION" (in ITC Serif Gothic font) at the bottom of the screen. The logo looks like an abstract film cylinder at the end.
Variant: An in-credit version was seen on some shows.
Technique: Cel animation.
Audio: An ascending trumpet fanfare with a strange synth note at the end, though sometimes the opening theme of the show is used.
Audio Variant: Sometimes, a female announcer states over the regular music, "Georgia Public Television wishes to thank the following for investing in primetime programming excellence..."
Availability: As well as being used as a local ID, it was seen on shows like Lawmakers, and some TV specials, like Langston!. These shows are long gone from TV, though there may be a slight chance of it appearing on old prints.
Visuals: On a dark blue background, there is a giant 3D cylinder with three holes cut out of it (likely to represent a filmreel or a tube where colors shoot out of the holes to create a color picture on a TV screen). It looks like the cylinder from the last logo, except it's white. The cylinder spins while ""Georgia Public Television" in a gray chrome Friz Quadrata font zooms in from the top-left of the screen. 3 lasers of red, green, and blue zap through the holes, filling them with their respective colors. The cylinder becomes a 2D circle, resting to the right of "Public". The logo shines a little before fading to black.
Variants:
Technique: CGI.
Audio: A loud synth drone, followed by a two-note chime tune. A couple whooshes and a synthpop-like jingle play in the long version after that.
Availability: If GPT programming from the time is ever re-ran, it can be seen. Also seen on some home video releases, like the Video Treasures release of Messiah.
Visuals: Over a dark, cloudy background, the logo starts with "GPTV" in a futuristic font. Below it, there is the text "Georgia Public Television", in silver. "Television" is on the bottom of the other two words.
Variants:
Technique: CGI by Jay Cordova at Television by Design.
Audio: A somewhat loud 4-note orchestral fanfare.
Audio Variants:
Availability: This was used for quite a while. Seen on programming from the time.
Visuals: The letters "GPTV" in an italicized silver dodger blue futuristic font, zoom out together and spread out over a background of cascading purple, blue, orange, and white shapes. The call signs and city licenses for all of GPTV's stations and transmitter sites briefly appear underneath the GPTV logo. The call information fades out and the words "Bringing You the Best" fade in into the space below.
Variant: There is a variant, with the sentence "Bringing You The Best of Gerogia" and after that, the GPTV logo shows on a black background with the name "Gerogia Public Television" and a sentence titled "Part of Your Life"
Technique: CGI.
Audio: The 1992 GPTV music.
Visuals: Over a background of indigo shadows, the "GPTV" wordmark with the PBS logo next to it rotate to the left and zoom out to the top. Below, there is "MEMBER SUPPORTED" in white and tilted. It fades and stretches out and the stacked words "Georgia Public Television" zoom out one by one. "Bringing You the Best" zooms in, arranged in the same manner.
Variant: There is a variant which shows the 9 channels.
Technique: Computer animation.
Audio: Either the 1992 GPTV music, or the piano tune from the 1989 logo.
Visuals: In 2.35:1, on the same background for CPB's then-current logo (which is basically the 2002 PBS background, only tinted in scarlet), "Georgia Public Broadcasting" in blue zooms out word-by-word and then "Television | Radio | Education" appears via a shining effect. All this is behind a transparent glass square.
Variant: As a local ID, the then-current GPB logo zooms out, consisting of the violet words "GPB" with four blue curved lines to the left of it and the PBS logo on the right. The station numbers appear at the bottom of the screen and there is a shine on the logo. It is either 16:9 or 4:3 here.

Technique: CGI.
Audio: A tribal tune with an announcer says "This has been a GPB original production."
Availability: Seen on programming from the time.
