1st ID (1977-1986, 1989)
Visuals: On a yellow background, an arrow-like tree rises from the middle of the screen, followed by 2 more beside it, then 2 more beside them. The left side lifts up and suspends itself in a strange form, which is followed by the right side, and they form a star out of negative space. "oepbs" in a rounded orange-ish font zooms out, one letter at a time, forming a dip in the text. A white light appears in the centre of the trees.
Variants: A still variant where the background is blue and the logo and text is white exists.
Technique: Early Scanimate.
Audio: A slowed-down version of the first few seconds of Toccata by Mannheim Steamroller, along with the announcer saying "From the Oregon network.".
Availability: This can be seen at closedowns at the time, as well as an opening ident for local programs, but those programs are long gone. This did, however, show up after the 4th logo on the final episode of Front Street Weekly.
2nd ID (1980?-1980s)
Visuals: On a blue background, the tree-star from before, but in white, appears and spins at a rapid rate. The star then zooms out, which stutters in the process, and the "oepbs" text materializes below the star and it shifts up, eventually stopping. A rounded box outline then draws around the logo from the bottom to the top.
