Southwest Texas Public Broadcasting Council

Background
The Southwest Texas Public Broadcasting Council was the owner of KLRN and KLRU, the former which was founded in 1962 serving the San Antonio and Austin markets, until 1979, when KLRU was founded and that station received a separate governing board a year later. These two stations would stop simulcasting in 1984, when KLRN activated a new tower in San Antonio, ending up in the stations receiving two different programming schedules. In 1987, the Council split into two organizations: the Alamo Public Broadcasting Council, which owned KLRN, and the Capital of Texas Public Telecommunications Council, which owned KLRU.

1st Logo (1978?-1987?)


Logo:
 * 1978?-1984: Same as the 2nd KLRN logo, but instead of "KLRN 9 SAN ANTONIO", we see "SOUTHWEST TEXAS PUBLIC BROADCASTING COUNCIL" in turquoise with "BROADCASTING COUNCIL" below "SOUTHWEST TEXAS PUBLIC".
 * 1984-1987?: Same as the previous variant, but the star stays.

Variants: On later episodes of Austin City Limits, the logo plays at warp speed.

Technique: Same as the 2nd KLRN logo.

Music/Sounds: Various variants of the 2nd KLRN logo are used:
 * Austin City Limits:
 * Usually a 3/4 country rendition played on a harmonica, guitar, and percussion, as used for the Budweiser funding card.
 * On a 1984 episode, the disco tune from the main KLRN logo of the time played.
 * On a mid-to-late 1980's (possibly 1987) episode, a 4/4 guitar and percussion version plays over the warp speed logo and carries over to the "Public Television Stations" funding card, and the harmonica tune plays during Budweiser's card.
 * Newscast from The Past: The flute and piano tune from the KLRN/KLRU ID and 1987 KLRN local logo plays.

Availability: It is seen on Austin City Limits from the early to late 1980's, used as the main logo for their stations' productions. Also seen on Newscast from the Past.

Legacy: Same as the 2nd KLRN logo.

2nd Logo (Early 1980's-1987)
Logo: Over a piece of wood, we see a hand press out the same logo as the previous logo with a stamp. The differences here are the star does not connect to its dome-shaped roof. Flames can be seen from where the star stamp is pressed. The text "THE SOUTHWEST TEXAS PUBLIC BROADCASTING COUNCIL" in a yellow stacked font fades in below the stamp. The hand moves the stamp to the bottom-left corner.

Technique: Other than the text, live action. A unique concept for a logo.

Music/Sounds: The sounds of flames.

Availability: It was seen on season 12 of Austin City Limits and an episode of the locally produced The Monday Report, which can be seen here.

Legacy: The fire might surprise you a bit, but some others will laugh at the concept.
