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 an 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.
Nicknames: "The Weird-Looking 32"
Logo: On a neon blue background, we see the words "WHMM TV" in a italic font, but with a letters WHMM in red/orange and with a neon glow on it, and the TV is in a italic, blue glowing font with a pink/magenta line underneath, with "WASHINGTON, D.C." in a purple, 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 the America TV logo from Argentina.
Music/Sounds: An annoucer says: "WHMM, TV 32 in Washington, D.C."
Availability: Extinct. Used as a local ID for the first use.
Nicknames: "The Silhouette of the Washington, D.C. Skyline", "The Funky Washington", "The Funky WHMN"
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 yellow/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.
Variants:
FX/SFX:
Music/Sounds: A catchy African-American 80s-synth disco outbeat fanfare, with the 3-notes tune held at the end. And it was heard in the normal and shorter version.
Music/Sounds Variants:
Availability:
Legacy: The disco music is really catchy, the 80s animation is pretty good for a local ident and it is much more better than some of the other PBS logos from the time period, which now made with computer effects. The 1994 version however, is pretty lackluster and rushed-looking compared to the normal logo.
Logo: On a dark blue background that has an image of the Howard University on it (presumably so), we see a blue rectangle flies out from the bottom left of the screen, while a small white line flies out from the top left of the screen. Then, the words "HOWARD", "UNIVERSITY", "TELEVISION", "WHUT-TV", and "WASHINGTON, D.C." all come out from the top or the right of the screen, and fly to the surface of the rectangle. While at the same time, the rectangle rotates and moves to the middle, and the white line flies out of the screen for 1 seconds, then appears again and flies to the rectangle's surface, sandwiched between the word "TELEVISION" and the word "WHUT-TV". Finally, when the logo is finally done with its animation, we see a red silthouette of the Howard University's tower on the left of the rectangle, and the logo stays still for 7 seconds before it fades in.
FX/SFX: The box. the words, the line flying, and extra animation of the box which is the rotating. Decent animation for the time, but it's pretty good for a public television station.
Music/Sounds: A majestic triumphant fanfare that plays like something you hear in an university.
Availability: Extremely rare.
Logo: On a white wall/floor background, while the screen rotates to make the logo is in front of the it, 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.
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.
