WNET is the PBS affiliate located in Newark, New Jersey. They first signed on the air on May 15, 1948, being the oldest of all the stations (although it joined NET in 1962). It also serves New York City.
Logo: On a sky background located at what appears to be the landscape on a farm, we see the letters "WATV" at an oblique angle. Between "T" and "V" is a thin supporting pole with a sign on it that says "NEWARK NEW JERSEY" facing straight at the camera. On top of the "T" is "13" in a bold font.
Variants:
Technique: None.
Music/Sounds: Possibly silent, although it may have had an announcer.
Availability: Ultra rare. Seen on WATV's first broadcast on May 15, 1948 and on Dove Son Nato.
Logo: On a black background, we see the text "WNTA/TV", with a large number "13" seen next to it.
Trivia: Around this time, this was the flagship station for the short-lived NTA Film Network.
Technique: Unknown. Possibly none.
Music/Sounds: Unknown. Possibly none or a voiceover.
Availability: Unknown. May be seen on old WNET recordings before 1962.
Legacy: In 1962, National Telefilm Associates (later the second incarnation of Republic Pictures) sold this affiliate to the Educational Broadcasting Corporation, where it would be rebranded as WNDT, later WNET.
Logo: On a black background, we see a large "13" with the letters "WNDT" below it on the left side. On the right side, we see the text "A PRODUCTION OF", and "EDUCATIONAL BROADCASTING CORPORATION NEW YORK" with "EBC" between them.
Technique: None.
Music/Sounds: The closing theme of the show.
Availability: Extinct. Found on shows on the American Archive of Public Broadcasting.
Logo:
Variant: On the Realities episode "Soldiers Who Search and Dissent", this is used as a still in-credit logo, in monochrome. "WNET" replaces "WNDT", and the copyright year is given as 1971.
Technique: The bars appearing, the limited sliding.
Music/Sounds: A funky bongo beat.
Music/Sounds Variants: On Soul!, an announcer will either say "Produced in New York by WNDT." or "Soul! was produced in New York by WNDT."
Availability: Extremely rare.
Legacy: While not much was known about this logo's existence until very recently, Shout! Factory put up the original episodes on their Shout! Factory TV service. Also, the copyright on the bottom of the logo stands for Educational Broadcasting Corporation, the holding company for WNDT; the name existed until 2011, when it was renamed to WNET.org.
Logo: This is a reworked version of the 13th NET logo, with the logo altered to read "wnet". The animation also appears to be sped up, the mass is completely yellow until it unravels, and a "13" also moves downward from the swirling mass, which causes the word to move up.
Variant: A black & white and possibly filmed variant appears on Science '72.
Technique: Same as the 13th NET logo, though slightly altered with the design changes that were made.
Music/Sounds: Same as the 13th NET logo, but with an additional loop to the keyboard tune, and the announcer says "The following program is from WNET 13." or "The following program is a presentation of WNET 13."
Availability: Very rare. The logo appeared on An American Family, where it may or may not have been used in tandem with the 3rd logo, and also appeared on Soul!. The alternate announcer variant appeared on Science '72.
Logo: On a black background, red rectangles with white horizontal pieces shoot away from the viewer, converging into a red screen with a white “FROM NEW YORK” on it. After a few seconds on screen, the pieces shoot towards the viewer, revealing teal bars, and “WNET” zooms forward on a teal background, with "PRESENTS" appearing below a second later.
Variants:
Technique: The “puzzle pieces” converging.
Music/Sounds: A synthesized, keyboard-driven rock tune. The first half of the music has two arrangements: one slightly faster and more hokey-sounding, and the other cleaner and more professional. Both have the same ending.
Availability: Very rare. It was spotted on pre-1979 recordings of PBS shows produced by WNET.
Logo: An art deco-style "13" that appears to be rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise writes itself on a black screen. The "13" zooms out as a similarly styled "13" that is rotated 90 degrees clockwise writes itself in as a mirror image, overlapping with the "3" in the former "13". Then both of them disappear, as "WNET" written in the same style appears at the bottom and zooms out. A "W" zooms in and out, followed by an "N", an "E", and a "T". Then the background turns red, and "WNET", in white and in a more normal-looking font, zooms in.
Variants:
Technique: The "13" writing itself and the zooming, whose animation was also used for such stations as WGBH.
Music/Sounds: A clean arrangement of the first half of the previous logo plays, followed by a hokey arrangement of that half with an announcer saying either "Produced in New York by WNET" or "A Presentation of WNET". Afterwards, the second half plays as usual.
Availability: Seen on An American Family, where it may or may not have been used in tandem with the 1st logo. It also appeared on a 16mm print of the Bill Moyers special An Essay on Watergate.
Logo: Two white bars appear from opposite ends of the screen and slide horizontally to the center. After they collide, they retract to reveal "FROM WNET", with "NEW YORK" below. The whole text is in a stylized font. The white bars would do the same for the names of any company, individual, institution, foundation, or organization that funded the program which this precedes (e.g. "Corporation for Public Broadcasting", "Public Television Stations", "The Chubb Group of Insurance Companies", etc.). After the last text slides, the whole thing fades to black.
Variants:
Technique: Simple and unremarkable animation.
Music/Sounds: Technically none, except for the voiceover announcing the funding credits, and/or the opening theme of the program. However, if you listen closely, you might hear a test tone towards the end of this logo.
Availability: Extremely rare.
Logo: On a black screen, "WNET" appears as an outline, in a more normal font than before. Below it is "NEW YORK" in the same font as before. Below all that is the logo at the time for their performing arts anthology series Great Performances, depicting, from left to right, a ballerina, a stage actor, an opera singer, and an orchestra conductor standing atop a horizontal, rounded stage.
Technique: None.
Music/Sounds: A 9-note synthesized brass fanfare.
Availability: Only seen on episodes of Great Performances from the era, this was a special ident created specifically for the program's 10th season, along with the new opening graphic.
Logo: On a black background, circular lines showing the New York skyline wipe in, with an outlined “WNET” on it. The pre-2001 World Trade Center "Twin Towers" can also be seen on the far left. As the “radar” circles two more times, the outlined “WNET” becomes more solid, and the morning sky becomes night. Finally, when the sky becomes completely dark, and “WNET” is filled in with white, “FROM” and “NEW YORK” can be seen above and below the letters respectively. The whole thing is in the same font as the 4th logo.
Variant: A filmed version appeared on Heritage: Civilization and the Jews.
Technique: The radar circling.
Music/Sounds: A 5-note synthesizer tune with chimes, repeating three times, just with different pitches.
Availability: Very rare. Older tapes of WNET programs should have this.
Logo: On a blue space background with dancing stars, “FROM” and “NEW YORK” zoom out, along with a "W". Then, an "n", an "E", and a "t" slide out while the animation zooms away from the viewer, all of which resembles the "Thirteen" logo at the time. “Sparks” then create parallelograms to surround “FROM” and “NEW YORK”, placed above and below the logo.
Variants:
Technique: The letters sliding out, along with the entire logo zooming out, the stars dancing all the while: the animation is actually in sync with the music from this logo.
Music/Sounds: Same as the “Radar” logo.
Availability: Rare.
Logo: On a black background, we see “wnet” in a thin font in a black rectangle with the word carved out of it, and “NEW YORK” appearing letter-by-letter, circling the logo counterclockwise while a spotlight shines around the logo from right to left.
Trivia: This is a live-action logo, created by Liberty Studios (which also produced HBO's "In Space" opening from 1982) in 1991 and directed by Robert Lyons and David Bruce. An Oxberry Animation Stand Camera was used for the filming of this logo, which like the 1992 PBS logo, was shot on 35mm film.
Variant: Sometimes, the logo is referred as "FROM wnet NEW YORK".
Technique: The spotlight, the words appearing letter by letter.
Music/Sounds: A beatbox jingle with a synthesized choir sounder.
Music/Sounds Variant: Sometimes, announcer Tom Stuart will say, "A production of WNET New York" over the jingle. This can be seen on American Masters.
Availability: Very rare. In its day, it appeared on Nature, American Masters, Charlie Rose and the pilot episode of Cyberchase (one of the last appearances of this logo). Also appeared at the beginning or end of season 3 episodes of Shining Time Station. It may appear on early DVD releases of Nature. It also appears on the PC game The Day the World Broke.
Logo: On a dodger blue background with many flashing dots (apparently arranged to look like skyscrapers), a pulse “wipes” inside the words “thirteen” with a red dot on the "I" (placed on the background as to be placed on one of the "dotscrapers" as if an antenna), and the words “WNET NEW YORK” fade in below.
Variants:
Technique: Nice animation.
Music/Sounds: A 5-note digital piano sounder. The variant has jazz piano and drum music. However, you can also hear the closing theme of a particular show over this logo (like Cyberchase, for example).
Availability: Common. Can currently be seen on Cyberchase releases on VHS and DVD and most reruns on PBS. Also appeared on 1999-2006 episodes of Nature and Charlie Rose. Also seen at the end of American Masters and The Face - Jesus in Art. Even though it officially ended use in 2004, it was used as a placeholder for the next logo until 2006.
Logo: We see an overhead view of New York City, with the "thirteen" from the previous logo, rendered in CGI, floating overhead. The camera pans down to a 20th Century Fox-esque angle (except it's reversed), so we see the logo from below.
Variants:
Technique: The pan from the overhead view.
Music/Sounds: A held-out bass violin note, followed by a soft 5-note piano sounder with violas at the end. Sometimes it has the closing theme playing over it.
Music/Sounds Variant: On Make Em Laugh, we hear a "clinking" sound when the hand bounces the dot off.
Availability: Uncommon.
Logo: On a nightime New York skyline, we see a billboard reading "A PRODUCTION OF THIRTEEN" (with "A PRODUCTION OF" in red and "THIRTEEN" in yellow, stacked atop each other) atop a brownish building. The camera then pans down to a 20th Century Studios-like angle. The logo then fades out.
Technique: The camera panning.
Music/Sounds: A Mexican guitar tune, which came from a stock library.
Availability: Rare. Some claim that it appeared on Season 12 of Cyberchase, but most airings of said season use the normal logo. It's possible that this logo is exclusive to the WNET station.
WNET.ORG is the name of the organization that holds the licenses of WNET and its sister station on Long Island, WLIW.
Logo:
Variants:
Technique: The light shining forming the words, the live-action scenery.
Music/Sounds:
Music/Sounds Trivia: You can watch a video of Athens conducting this logo's theme, as well as other themes used in WNET's local bumpers of the time.
Availability: Common. This logo still appears on most new programs, mainly in prime time.
Logo: On a white background with dots below, we see the words "WNET", "The", and "Group", being scattered across the screen. Afterward, the logo moves to the center with the text moving to a yellow line. A thin line forms by WNET group, and the text, "Media Made Possible By All Of You".
Technique: The text moving around as the logo forms.
Music/Sounds: A five-note synth tune.
Music/Sounds Variants: On Part 2 of the Nature special miniseries Growing Up in the Rockies, silence.
Availability: Current. First seen on the May 14, 2021, edition of Firing Line. It also appears on Tulsa: The Fire and the Forgotten. Since July 9, 2021, it has also appeared on Great Performances, and since July 27, 2021, on American Masters; by the fall of that year, most WNET programming had switched over to this logo, an exception being PBS NewsHour Weekend, which continued to use the 2009 logo until it was rebranded and moved to WETA. It also appears on season 13 of Cyberchase, making it the third season 13 of a WNET kids show to use a new WNET logo.
