WTVP

Background
WTVP is a PBS station that serves Central Illinois and is headquartered in Peoria, Illinois.

1st (known) Logo (1985?)
Logo: On a black background, the word "WTVP" in blue with a white outline comes from the top and moves closer to the center, while 6 red-yellow gradient lines appear from the bottom. Then the word "peoria", in the same font as "WTVP", comes from the bottom of the screen and moves to the center below "WTVP". Then it fades into "presents" in the same font, but black instead of blue.

FX/SFX: The texts moving, the lines appearing, "peoria" fading into "presents".

Music/Sounds: The credits, however it is unknown what the actual music is.

Availability: Ultra rare. Found on an episode of Centerstage. This may be one of the rarest PBS logos of all time, its original music hasn't been found yet.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (1999-2002)

3rd (known) Logo (2007-present?)
Logo: On a black background, we see a flash that forms the WTVP logo that slightly glows. Then a small blue flash appears at the bottom, writing the words "Engaging...Enhancing...Inspiring".

FX/SFX: The flash, the forming of the WTVP logo, the blue flash writing the words.
