1st Logo (1986-1988) KBYU - CLG Wiki

Nickname: "The Mountain"

Logo: We see a cheap-looking mountain against a black-blue gradient background. On the mountain, we see the number "11" (KBYU's channel number) in outline form next to a blue "Kbyu", in a Bauhaus93-like font, and over "P R O V O---U T A H", and a light passes through it.

Variant: A longer version was used as a station ID-- it starts at the mountain on a black background, and a blue glow happens behind it while "11 KBYU" zooms out, shrinking itself before settling in place. "P R O V O---U T A H" then appears below.

FX/SFX: Aside from the light, it's just a still logo, but an interesting one, nevertheless.

Music/Sounds: An orchestral tune that sounds like the beginning of Frank Gari's "Great News" music. In the station ID, mellow piano music is heard, along with an announcer saying "This is KBYU-TV, Channel 11, Provo, Utah-- the ones to watch."

Availability: Seen on Hooked on Aerobics episodes of this era.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (1988-1993)

Nickname: "Diamond Flash"

Logo: On a dark blue-dark gray gradient background, we see the KBYU logo in purple, italicized, zooming in quickly. Then, a diamond-shaped flash of light occurs behind the logo, which is now over the small text "PROVO/SALT LAKE CITY".

FX/SFX: The logo zooming in, the flash.

Music/Sounds: An echoed piano note, with a flourish before it ends. This is actually part of "Escape from the Atmosphere" by Mannheim Steamroller.

Availability: See previous.

Editor's Note: None.
