'''Logo:''' On a swirly {{Font color|yellowgreen|icterine}} BG, we see the letters "{{Font color|blue|{{Font|Franklin Gothic|'''wgte'''}}}}" in a giant {{Font color|blue|blue}} Franklin Gothic font with "TV 30" in white under "{{Font color|blue|{{Font|Franklin Gothic|'''te'''}}}}". Below it is "''TOLEDO, OHIO''" in white and italicized. As with the 1990 Universal logo, there was a special "Happy 50th Birthday" variant commissioned when this ident was launched. Much like the Universal logo, it shows very brief clips of old various WGTE idents that were used from 1953-2003 (making 50 years) wiping in and out via radar effect, before wiping into the ident we see here. |
