KWSU

Background
KWSU is a PBS station affiliate located in Pullman, Washington, owned and operated by the Washington State University.

1st (known) Logo (April 9, 1976)
Visuals: On a black background, static fills the screen while a pink set of outlines revolve around the middle. As the static shrinks to the middle, the text then revolves into the pink text "KWSU" in the Stop font, with "presents" fading in below in ITC Avant Garde Gothic. The logo then briefly disappears before compressing into the background, with "presents" wiping away.

Technique: A combination of Scanimate graphics and live action visual feedback.

Audio: A loud weird synthesized tune, which sounds like a game over screen in an arcade game or something from the 70s.

Availability: Only known to have appeared on Heart - The Second Ending Live At KWSU. The program is preserved on the Blu-Ray release. However, it is currently unknown if other programs used this logo.

2nd Logo (1983-1987?)
Visuals: On a sky blue background, a baby blue line draws across the screen. It then draws down and to the right, sprouting the text "Impact" from it. The line retracts when it finishes and "A PRESENTATION OF" slides out of it from the top, while "PULLMAN, WA" slides out of the bottom.

Technique: Computer graphics.

Audio: A funky trumpet tune accompanied by a drum beat and a Fender Rhodes electric piano, the latter moving through the chord progression B♭13sus4-A♭7add13-Gmaj13#11.

Availability: It appeared on Grass Roots Journal and other local programming.

3rd Logo (1987-1994?)
Visuals: Over a striped light blue background, the logo starts with the word "PRESENTATION", in a bold font, in which then, there are the words "a" and "of" being written on-screen in cursive before flashing into "KWSU Public TELEVISION", with "Public" displayed in cursive as well and angled.

Variant: An variant that ends with the text "You're INFORMED" (with "You're " in the cursive font, and "INFORMED" in the bolded font), exists but it is unknown how the rest of the logo plays out as the video it was seen on starts with that end card.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A crystal-like 80's piano jingle (with the notes rising and looping), with a futuristic-sounding ZAP! during the flash.

Availability: All variants seen on Counterpoint.

4th Logo (1994-Early 2000s)
Visuals: On a lavender background, a few rectangles are seen quickly sliding in, reading "Times New Roman" and "Times New Roman", with the one in the centre having no text. Then the word "Times New Roman" in flips in a similar way on the rectangle.

Technique: CGI.
