KCOP-TV

Background
KCOP-TV (channel 13) is a television station in Los Angeles, California, United States that is founded in 1948 and owned and operated by Fox Television Stations alongside it's sister station, KTTV. It was once an independent station when it was founded to the 1990's, but then got served as UPN's West Coast flagship station in 1995, and now have been affiliated with MyNetworkTV since 2006.

Logo (1962-1971)
Visuals: We see a bunch of dots moving around on a black background, with a red dot appearing in the middle that has the number "13" on with four other dots having the same number. Then, they fly into the center and blend together with the "13" dot in the middle, while the camera slowly zooms in. The middle dot then becomes white, and fades back into its previous appearance. A white diamond and later, a colourful circle outline appear around the dot, with the text "KCOP LOS ANGELES" appearing below. And after that, four another diamonds blend together with the white diamond outline, and it fades back to its previous appearance again.

Variants: A more common still variant exists, where we see a big line that is formed by multicoloured diamonds with the word "KCOP" on the line, and a big blue diamond on the right of the line that has a number "13" on it. And the words "LOS ANGELES" and "A Chris Craft STATION" simultaneously appear below and above the diamond line. The background's color can be varied.

Technique: Cel animation, none for the still variant.

Audio:


 * Main Variant: A majestic and triumphant fanfare, accompanied by an announcer saying: "Channel 13 presents the following program in color".
 * Still Variant: An announcer saying a sentence that can be varied by different variants.

2nd Logo (1975-1977)
Visuals: On a black background, we see multiple numbers "13" in yellow coming out from the middle. When all of them are about to go out, many purple copies of the number "13" fly in from the right, all stop at one place, and form a layer of the station's logo. And then, many yellow copies of the number, and alongside with an another decent amount of purple copies of the number after them, also do the same thing. With the latter copies being bigger than the ones before them, eventually the station's logo is formed and completed when the last purple "13" flying in. The logo then zooms out a little bit, and the text "KCOP" with the word "Los Angeles" in a funky font, also zooms out next to the logo word-by-word.

Technique: Cel animation.

Audio: A relaxing flute tune at first, and then a majestic and proud fanfare.

3rd Logo (1979-1986)
Visuals: From this period, the station made their main logo as a wide oval that have the number "13" inside it, and four different station idents were being used with this logo:


 * 1979-1981: We see on a space background with stars moving around, five yellow and lines draw themself one-by-one from left to right and made an oval in the near-center. After the lines go out of the screen, a flash occurs inside of the oval, and the number "13" in silver then appears in it and zooms in. And after that, the logo moved to the center, and the words "KCOP" and "LOS ANGELES" zooms out nearby the lines, with the latter being placed below the former.
 * 1981-1982: Against a background, multiple lights fly to above center the of the screen, forming a flash and creating a  circle. The number "13" then forms inside it as the circle turns into the oval, and the text "KCOP" zooms from us and settles under the logo. As the logo shines, the text "Helvetica" appears at the bottom. We then transition to see the Chris Craft wordmark against the same background from before. When the transition is done, the star between the two texts shines, and the two texts "A" and "TELEVISION STATION" fade in above and below the wordmark respectively.
 * 1982-1984: We see on a blue sky, the camera flying though some mountains with some green neons on them. And then, the camera pans down, and we see the view of Los Angeles, with purple and red lights all around the city and also some clouds. The "Oval 13" logo zooms out, flashes and lands on a blue lake with a purple sunset scenery behind it, while the city being dissapeared and transitioned to the lake. After that, the texts "KCOP" and "Los Angeles" appears below the logo, which rapidly shines, and the clouds also fades in on the sky.
 * 1984-1985: Against a black background, we see an orbit with 3D orange pieces and three colourful oval rings spinning around it. Then, they gradually spin faster as the orbit moves to the left. And when they’re all lined up together, the “Oval 13” logo got formed, with the number "13" being red, and the two ovals here being light blue, and blue respectively. Three purple, blue and red ovals fly out of the logo after the forming, the word "KCOP" got reavealed from the red ring, and the word "Los Angeles" appears below.

Variant: The 1984 logo has two other variants:
 * An extended variant exists. Here, we get a segment of the pieces fly to the orbit before they spin around, and after the forming, the ring also reveals a beach at sunset background. After that, we also see the word "KCOP Los Angeles" fades out, and the word "Chris Craft Television" appears and fades in at the same place, with an animated star between the word "Chris" and "Craft". And finally, the rings from the "Oval 13" logo flies out and reveals the news open.
 * An another variant exists, where here, the background has some diagonal lines on it, the color of the oval rings are altered to just lime and blue, and the words "KCOP Los Angeles", which is now modified to being blue and has different font, appears right when the forming happens.

Technique: Scanimation for the first two station idents, and compter animation for the two last idents.

Audio: Each variants have their own seperate fanfare, including:


 * 1979: The same fanfare from the previous logo.
 * 1981: A loud fanfare with drumrolls and trumpet sounds in it, with a dramatic fanfare when the transition appears, and also an announcer saying: "This is channel 13, KCOP Los Angeles, a Chris Craft Industries television station".
 * 1982: A dramatic tune at the start, and a futuristic synth tune when the city appears, with the announcer saying: "Channel 13, KCOP Los Angeles".
 * 1984: A dramatic fanfare, which is actually a snippet was from "Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 in D Minor, Op. 125, second movement", with an announcer also saying "Channel 13, KCOP Los Angeles".
