2nd Logo (1982-1993)

• 
  The early variant
• 
  The light blue variant
• 
  The normal variant
• 
  The "7" variant

Visuals: On a sunset shot of Jacksonville's skyline, chroma-keyed fireworks appear over the skyline. Then, a red rectangular frame shoots toward the viewer at a fast pace, and then, a dark red starburst (which is meant to be a firework graphic) wipes in from top to bottom, along with "WJCT" colored in a blue/white gradient below the starburst, and "Jacksonville" at the bottom in a yellow outline. The logo shines all over.

Variant:

• An early variant exists where the logo is placed on a plain blue/light blue background. There's also no border and the word "JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA" appears in spaced out letters. Also the starburst is red instead of dark red. And the logo shines rapidly.
• There's a variant of a normal variant that has the number "7" in steel blue fades-in on the starburst and shines with the logo. And the logo shines 6 seconds more than the normal variant.

Technique: CGI and live action.

Audio: A four-note synth-chime tune that resembles NBC's famous jingle. This is in a lower tone on the early variant.

Availability: It can be seen on a few Jacksonville Jazz Festival specials during the era.

3rd Logo (1993-1996)

• 
• 

Visuals: On a black background, the camera pans down from 3 glass copies of the fireworks logo from the previous logo, shining many different colors. As the copies straighten out, a glass rectangle with "WJCT" embossed on the bottom flips in. The fireworks stick to the back and the rectangle flips around to reveal a large "7" over the logo as it shines. "JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA" flips in below.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A rising synth is heard at first. This is followed by a short piano tune and a timpani roll. Chimes are heard when it shines. It sounds very similar to the OS/2 Warp 4 startup sound.

Audio Variants:

• Sometimes on The Pollcats, Paul Van Osdol says "From WJCT, channel 7, Jacksonville, this is The Pollcats."
• On Young Voices, a young girl's voice says "This program was made at channel 7 in Jacksonville."
