KVIE

Background
KVIE is a PBS affiliate located in Sacramento, California.

1st Logo (1975-1979)
Nickname: "The Lake"

Logo: We pan up from a lake with trees on the shore at sunset, with the text "A PRODUCTION FROM" and "SACRAMENTO CALIFORNIA" near the bottom right side. A yellow KVIE logo, in a Pac-Man-esque font slides in from the left, and "A PRODUCTION FROM" slides up, as we pan up from the lake.

FX/SFX: The chyron text over the live-action background, the sliding.

Music/Sounds: Unknown.

Availability: This made an appearance on KVIE's 50th anniversary special. Other than that, it's pretty hard to find.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (1979-1980)
plxZQ2RNjW8

Logo: On a blue background, we see "KVIE6" in the same font as before, but the "I" is capitalized, and "Sacramento/Stockton" is below. All the text is outlined yellow and colored black.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: A rapid 6-note Moog arpeggio plays, then repeats itself. "Echoes" of the theme begin playing at various times over it, overlapping to the point of cacophony. As the logo begins to fade out, another copy of the theme, pitched up an octave, begins to repeat as well. This is actually the 12th track of Sound Patterns in Oscillations 4 by Don Voegeli.

Availability: Seen on Leo Buscaglia's The Art of Being Fully Human.

Editor's Note: The repetitive synth music, as well as the slightly ugly color scheme/design might put a few off. Otherwise, this is boring and annoying.

3rd Logo (1980-1986)
Y1GVYeOAs9o

Logo: Over a red fabric-esque background, the KVIE logo from before fades in and flashes in slowly. The difference here is the "6" is absent, the logo is smaller, and the logo is completely white.

FX/SFX: The fade in and flash.

Music/Sounds: Same as the WJCT logo, but high pitched.

Availability: Seen on Leo Buscaglia's Speaking of Love.

Editor's Note: None.

4th Logo (1986-1995)
m3mYi7ovJ4g&ab_channel=Alden%27sLogoAndPublicTelevisionArchive Nickname: "Purple Circle"

Logo: Set on a purple background, we see a purple circle being drawn in counter-clockwise, then a much lighter circle of the same color is drawn in the same direction, and the word "SACRAMENTO" appears. "Impact" in a Haettenschwelier font then fades in, and the logo shines.

FX/SFX: Simple early CGI animation that is bringing out accuracy.

Music/Sounds: A loud Moog synthesizer bass note that almost sounds like the beginning of the first Cannon-VMP logo's jingle.

Availability: Should be on very old California's Heartland episodes from the George Reading era. It also appeared on Fit or Fat specials.

Editor's Note: None.

5th Logo (1995-November 4, 1999)
Logo: On a green background we see a triangle and the text "A Production of" in blue sliding in, followed by "KVIE" and "SACRAMENTO". The logo then fades out.

FX/SFX: The CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: A two-note tune.

Availability: Seen at the end of KVIE documentaries at the era.

6th Logo (November 5, 1999-2003)
