KIXE-TV

Background
KIXE-TV is a PBS affiliate located in Chico-Redding, California.

1st Logo (1983-Late 1990's)
Logo: We fade in to a snow-capped mountain (likely that of Mt. Shasta) under a sunny sky, with small trees below. The text "Serif" slides up from below. If you look closely, you can also see a tiny gust of wind at the top of the peak.

Variants: In the 1990's (1994 if you want to be specific), we fade in to the mountain again, but this time, it is more cleaner, it is a still photo and was photograped further away. Then, the three texts "","Serif" AND "" with only the "Serif" text is in with the other two texts are in white, slide up one-by-one from below like the original version.

Technique: The wind, the text sliding up. Simple animation.

Music/Sounds: A thunderous, but partially audible "BOOM!", then a calm synthesizer jingle.

Availability: The World of Collector Cars may have this logo at the end of their episodes. It doesn't get rerun that often, though. Also seen at the beginning of Mark Kistler's Imagination Station. The 1990's version was found on Whose Body, Whose Rights?.

2nd Logo (199?-200?)
Logo: On a background, we see the letters "KIXE" rotating out and the word "PRESENTATION" flipping in.

Variant: There's is a version with a waving American flag background starting in 2002.

Technique: The text appearing.

Music/Sounds: A seven-note tune similar to the PBS Election 92 jingle.

Availability: Unknown.

3rd Logo (20??-)

Logo: On a black background, we see 3 circles sliding up from a stone platform, emitting a bright light. The circle on the left is yellow, the middle is blue, and the right is green. The yellow and green ones slide up again and disappear off-screen, while the word "Serif" slides up from the stone platform. The word "productions" slides to the right from the left side of the screen. The camera zooms in slightly afterwards.

Technique: The circles and text sliding, the camera zooming.

Music/Sounds: A hip-hop beat.

Availability: Was seen on the KIXE Forum.
