'''Logo:''' On a black background, {{color|blue}} static fills the screen while a {{color|deeppink|pink}} set of outlines revolve around the middle. As the static shrinks to the middle, the text then revolves into the {{color|deeppink|pink}} text "{{color|deeppink|'''KWSU'''}}" in the Stop font, with "{{color|deeppink|presents}}" fading in below in ITC Avant Garde Gothic. The logo then briefly disappears before compressing into the background, with "{{color|deeppink|presents}}" wiping away. |

'''Legacy:''' The effects and droning music in this logo make it unlike anything used by other public TV stations at the time (even [[WGBH]]). What's more peculiar is that this logo seemed to be used well into the 1990's, at least in speculation after the discovery of the 2nd and 3rd logos. However, the claims are seemingly false. |

Background
KWSU is a PBS station affiliate located in Pullman, Washington, owned and operated by the Washington State University.
1st (known) Logo (April 9, 1976)
 | This logo contains flashing images for the whole duration. |
 | The video of this logo may be too loud or severely distorted. |
Logo: On a black background, blue static fills the screen while a pink set of outlines revolve around the middle. As the static shrinks to the middle, the text then revolves into the pink text "KWSU" in the Stop font, with "presents" fading in below in ITC Avant Garde Gothic. The logo then briefly disappears before compressing into the background, with "presents" wiping away.
FX/SFX: A combination of Scanimate graphics and live action visual feedback.
Music/Sounds: A loud weird synthesized tune, which sounds like a game over screen in an arcade game or something from the 70s.
Availability: Extremely rare. Only known to have appeared on Heart - The Second Ending Live At KWSU. The program is preserved on the Blu-Ray release. However, it is currently unknown if other programs used this logo.
2nd Logo (1983-19??)
Logo: On a sky blue background, a baby blue line draws across the screen. It then draws down and to the right, sprouting the text "KWSU" from it. The line retracts when it finishes and "A PRESENTATION OF" slides out of it from the top, while "PULLMAN, WA" slides out of the bottom.
FX/SFX: Early computer graphics.
Music/Sounds: A funky trumpet tune accompanied by a drum beat and a Fender Rhodes electric piano, the latter moving through the chord progression B♭13sus4-A♭7add13-Gmaj13#11.
Availability: More common than the last, but still very rare. It appeared on Grass Roots Journal and other local programming.
3rd Logo (1987-1994?)
Logo: On a striped light blue background, we see the word "PRESENTATION", in a bold font, in which then, we see the words "a" and "of" being written on-screen in cursive before flashing into "KWSU Public TELEVISION", with "Public" displayed in cursive as well and angled.
Variant: An variant that ends with the text "You're INFORMED" (with "You're " in the cursive font, and "INFORMED" in the bolded font), exists but it is unknown how the rest of the logo plays out as the video it was seen on starts with that end card.
FX/SFX: Standard CGI effects for the era.
Music/Sounds: A crystal-like 80's piano jingle (with the notes rising and looping), with a futuristic-sounding ZAP! during the flash.
Availability: Very rare. All variants seen on Counterpoint.
4th Logo (1994-Early 2000s)
Logo: On a lavender background, a few rectangles are seen quickly sliding in, reading "a production of" and "M E D I A", with the one in the centre having no text. Then the word "KWSU" in gold flips in a similar way on the rectangle.
FX/SFX: CGI animation.
Music/Sounds: A whoosh is heard, followed by 2 horn notes, with the last being held out for longer.
Availability: Very rare. Appeared on WSU Presents.
