3rd Logo (Late 80's-Early 1990's)

Logo: On a blue/black gradient background, 5 colored lines slide in from the top of the screen. 6 bars fly in from all sides of the screen and form an "L". "Louisiana Public Broadcasting" slides in from the right side of the screen. The "L" and the text disappear and the lines expand, and "a presentation of" slides from the left side of the screen.

Variant: There's a local version where there's a black background and an announcer. The 6 station names, complete with number and town, slide in from the left and right sides of the screen. There's also a still, silent version.

Technique: The sliding of the bars, "L", and text. The lines expanding and the sliding in of the station names in the variant.

Music/Sounds Variant: The local variant has the last note extended and an announcer saying the name and the station name.

Availability: Ultra rare, can be seen in Folk, which can be viewed on ladigitalmedia.org.

4th Logo (Mid 1990s-Late 1990's)

Logo: On a steel blue BG, the "L" (this time being having a blue sky texture with billowing clouds) from the last logo appears with the text "Louisiana Public Broadcasting" below it in blue.

Technique: The L's "texture".

Music/Sounds: A long whoosh, with 6 orchestrated/xylophone like notes.
