Background
WHUT-TV is a secondary PBS outlet for Washington, D.C., It was signed on as WHMM in 1980, then changed a call letters to WHUT-TV in 1998. The station was a African-American network in the Washington, D.C. (after WETA-TV) which is signed on in 1961, but the station is owned by Howard University.
WHMM-TV
1st Logo (1980-1981?)
Logo: On a neon blue background, we see the words "WHMM TV" in a italic font, but with a letters WHMM in red/pink and with a neon glow on it, and the TV is in a italic, blue glowing font with pink/magenta line underneath, with "WASHINGTON, D.C." in a blue, weird glowing font, which is written with neon colors. The number "32" is in a weird, futuristic font, which is in blue, also with glow.
FX/SFX: None. The logo concept is looks like to the America TV logo from Argentina.
Music/Sounds: An annoucer says the logo.
Availability: Extinct. Used as a local ID for the first use.
Editor's Note: None.
2nd Logo (1980-1997?)
Logo: On a black screen, the grid comes out from the screen, which opens a silhouette of the Washington, D.C. skyline, we see a red/orange "W" sliding from the left, followed by "H", "M" and "M", which then flashes the logo, the skyline then disappear out, and the grid became a line stacked with the words "Washington, D.C." in a italiced font, which then flashes and shines.
FX/SFX: The letters "WHMM" sliding from the left, and the grid turning into byline.
Music/Sounds: An African-American 80s-synth disco outbeat fanfare, with the 3-notes tune held at the end.
Availability: Extremely rare. Possibly seen on some programming of the time, as well as a African-American shows and also seen as a local ID, like African-American in the North and Cinema Answer. These shows are long gone, through might be appearing or plastering on some old prints.
Editor's Note: The disco music is also good, the 80s animation is pretty good for a local ident is much more than a other PBS logos, which now made with a computer effects and a local ID animation.
WHUT-TV
1st Logo (2012-2017?)
Logo: On a white wall/floor background, we see a pieces of WHUT logo falling down outside wall, which then forms into a blue "W", and then a connected "HU", and it then falls down to form a "T" and then forms entire logo, with the PBS "P Head" logo in blue next to WHUT, and the text "HOWARD UNIVERSITY TELEVISION" appears below.
FX/SFX: CGI animation.
Music/Sounds: A relaxing and airy synth fanfare.
Availability: Seen on some programming produced by WHUT from the 2010s.
Editor's Note: None.
2nd Logo (2017?-present)
Logo: On a colored red/orange/yellow gradient background with a Washington, D.C. skyline, we see a rectangle which then zooms in, and then rotates to 30-60 degrees, then a "W" and "T" slides in, and the words "HU" appears below, and then connect into the rectangle box, forming the current WHUT logo. The "HOWARD UNIVERSITY TELEVISION" appears below.
FX/SFX: The rectangle zooming in, the shape rotating and the letters forming the logo.
Music/Sounds: A whooshes, then a two "click" sound when the logo forming.
Availability: Current. Seen on some WHUT productions of the time.
Editor's Note: None.
