BSTN Productions

Background
This is the production arm of the Boardman Schools Television Network (or simply BSTN), the local school channel run by Boardman High School in Boardman, Ohio.

1st Logo (January 12-October 5, 2018)
Logo: Against a black background with a lens flare sticking out on the left side and floating light dust, an outlined "BSTN " zooms out and gains a  fill. Said color would wipe in within the text from the left. While continuing to zoom out, the text loses its fill as the gray color fades out. This sequence would repeat for the rest of the logo. Underneath it, "PRODUCTIONS" in  wipes in with a similar color changing effect, this time to white.

Technique: 3D animated effects.

Music/Sounds: An ascending, electronic whoosh sounding like a synth drone. Buzzes are also heard randomly throughout the logo.

Availability: Rare, due to its short lifespan and being the main logo during just the 2nd half of the 2017-18 school year.
 * Despite this, it appeared on several shows and special events within this period including most Boardman Park Report episodes starting with its January 14, 2018 edition and Superintendent's Corner episodes from April and May 2018. However, some episodes of the former are unlisted from the channel's YouTube account.
 * This logo can also be found on aforementioned special events like Boardman Civic Association: Academic Achievement Banquet and the 2018 BHS Promenade.
 * Its last appearance was on an October 5, 2018 BSTN broadcast.

2nd Logo (September 12, 2018-)
Logo: On a background consisting of a cool color scheme and four disappearing perpendicular lines with constantly changing numbers, some camera lens, alongside the background, zoom out. In the middle of this sequence, "BSTN" in white quickly zooms out and slows down, backing up in sync with the background's movements. Underneath it, "PRODUCTIONS" wipe in. A few seconds later, the background and text quickly zoom in. When the text leaves the screen, it fades to black.

Variant: On the 2022 Memorial Day Parade and Boardman Park Ceremony, the logo is slowed down.

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: None, the ending theme of the program, or a small expert of uncopyrighted/copyrighted music.

Availability: Fairly common. It has showed up often before 2020 on most episodes of the Boardman Report shows such as Boardman Park Report, Boardman Financial Report, and Community Report, as well as 2018-19 episodes of Superintendent's Corner. Its range also includes some special events such as the 2019 Boardman Civic Awards (most during this period would not end with a logo) and mostly news report programs and videos like the aforementioned shows and tip videos. However, this logo very rarely shows up at the end of sports broadcasts, but did make an appearance at the end of phase 3 of a 2019 Boardman Spartan Stadium game. This logo is currently seen on new episodes of Board Report and Superintendent's Corner.

3rd Logo (November 13, 2018)
Logo: We zoom out of multiple mechanics within an outlined box consisting of beams,  neon lights, and metal railings. The camera also rotates clockwise. As "BSTN" in a steel-y texture and font appears flying into view, there are two bars on each side: the left has them in while the right is in. Moreover, the left and right sides have different colored lighting where the left is and the other side is the same as the right bars.

Then, the bars, logo, and box flicker, revealing more details on the text and a digitized texture in the background. Both details are seen scrolling to the right.

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the program.

Availability: Only seen on the "Boardman Administrators Discuss 'Vac Truck'" and "Boardman K9 Unit".

4th Logo (September 13, 2019-)
Logo: In a similar light as the 2nd logo, it zooms out of several camera lens on a dark background with floating light particles. "BSTN" quickly zooms out, deblurs, and moves in sync with the background. A copy of the text is also shown, albeit transparent and larger, in the background. Like some of the other logos, "PRODUCTIONS" wipes in underneath the channel name. While the logo is zooming out, the background copy of the text briefly flashes and slightly fades out. Suddenly, the text rapidly zooms in, leaving the screen. From here, "YOUR STUDENT PRODUCED ENTERTAINMENT" in a grided bar texture types in. A few seconds later, the background and text zoom in and blurs.

Variant: A winter variant was used for programs released in December 2021. In this variant, the logo is snowing.

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: None, the ending theme of the program, or a small excerpt of a copyrighted song (i.e. the first several seconds of "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" by Tears for Fears).

Availability: Uncommon.
 * It was mostly used for showcase videos including those focusing on the school's band and soccer teams ("Boardman Band Seniors (2020)", "Boardman Boy's Soccer Seniors (2020)", and "2021 Senior Football Introductions" to name a few).
 * The logo made its first appearance on the news video "Firehouse Subs Donates $18k+ to Boardman Fire Dept.".
 * Like the 2nd logo, it is mostly unused on not only sports broadcasts but also live concert specials.
 * The winter variant can be seen on the first episode of Spartan Pulse, the 2021 PAX PROGRAM, and the 2021 BHS Winter Choir Holiday Concert.
 * It is infrequently used on Spartan Pulse. Some episodes use the 6th logo while others end with no logo whatsoever.

5th Logo (November 8, 2019)
Logo: On a dimly lit background made up of small dots, several outlined circles, two thick and one thin, expand. Once they have stopped, from the center of the hole, multiple shapes and paths such as triangles and curved bars emerge out of it and rotate, some of which move faster at random times. Additionally, transparent, thin circle outlines zoom out and rotating, dotted lines in the same level of opacity of said objects appear.

Also from the center of the smallest circle, wiping in radially is the company name in a futuristic font inside four boxes. "BSTN" overlaps with the two inner-most boxes whereas "PRODUCTIONS" is within a long rectangle underneath three quadrilaterals, including those the former text overlaps with. Another thing to note is that the logo is outlined. For its animation, it briefly becomes brighter and slightly zooms out while surrounding objects revolve around it.

The camera then directly faces before the logo flickers and the screen zooms in after the logo disappears. Once it stops, the same circle animation from earlier plays where the logo, now in a white box and colored black, appears through two radial wiping effects; each one makes the logo brighter. While the logo slowly zooms in, the circles in the background disappear.

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the program.

Availability: Only seen on a 2019 introduction video to the high school, simply titled "Boardman High School (2019)".

6th Logo (February 7, 2022-)
Logo: On a dark smoky background, a rusty version of the logo from before is shown, gradually becoming shinier as it zooms out and the background clears up. A brown concrete wall is briefly shown before it changes to a dark blue-hued color with a light ray on the top right corner of the screen. For the remainder of the logo, it continues to slowly zoom out and the logo is seen shining.

Variant: On the 2022 BSTN Fall Promotion, the animation is slowed down and extended.

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: None or the ending theme of the program.

Availability: Brand new; it made its first appearance on the 2022 BSTN Fall Promotion and was seen on episode 2 of Spartan Pulse and a few episodes of Superintendent's Corner, Board Report, and Boardman Park Report.
