1st Logo (1985-1998)
Visuals: On a black/blue gradient background, an outline of "WGBY" in Helvetica and colored translucent gray fades in. A white bar slides down inside it, coloring much of the text. "S P R I N G F I E L D" fades in below in white.
Technique: 2D computer animation.
Audio: None.
Availability: Can be seen on locally-produced shows from WGBY from the era.
2nd Logo (1999-2008)
Visuals: The logo starts with "WGBY" above "SPRINGFIELD" towards the bottom right corner taking place on a hill with a tree on the left. The leaves turn from green to yellow/orange (like a transition from spring to fall), and leaves blow to the right.
Variants:
- A longer variant was used in early years. The tree remains green longer than in the shorter variant.
- A prototype variant exists, featuring the logo placing itself out onto a black background.
Technique: Basic 3D animation and fading effects.
Audio: A piano jingle. The longer version uses a theme made with an electric and acoustic guitar, with the last 4 notes resembling that of the PBS theme at the time; this was used as network bumper music.
Availability: Seen on WGBY programming in the early 2000's.
3rd Logo (2006-)
Visuals: Against a black background, the WGBY logo in steel blue is seen. Since 2010, a logo resembling the standard "WGBH shadows" logo is used. Above the logo is "A" and below it is "Presentation". The logo shines.
Variants:
- On high definition programs, the text "in HIGH DEFINITION" fades in and spreads out while easing in.
- A version of this logo exists with Helvetica text in place of the WGBH styled logo, in both regular and HD variants.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: A gentle acoustic guitar riff with shimmering sounds in the background.
