Background
KVIE is a PBS affiliate located in Sacramento, California.
Visuals: In a dark bronze background, with the text "A PRODUCTION FROM" and "SACRAMENTO CALIFORNIA" near the bottom right side. A dark yellow KVIE logo, in a Pac-Man-esque font slides in from the left, and "A PRODUCTION FROM" slides up, as the screen pans up from the lake.
Variant: It has the the same logo, text and animation as before but this time the background has the screen panning up from a lake with trees on the shore at sunset.
Technique: Chroma key animation.
Audio: None for the orange background variant, unknown for the ocean background variant.
Availability: The original variant appeared on Report from Mexico City: International Women's Year Conference, however so far the only sighting of lake background variant was a part of KVIE's 50th anniversary special.

Technique: A still, computerized graphic.
Audio: A rapid 6-note Moog arpeggio plays, then repeats itself. "Echoes" of the theme begin playing at various times over it. As the logo begins to fade out, another copy of the theme, pitched up an octave, begins to repeat as well. This is actually the 12th track of Sound Patterns in Oscillations 4 by Don Voegeli.
Availability: Seen on Leo Buscaglia's The Art of Being Fully Human.
3rd ID (April 24, 1980)
