1st ID (1982-1985)

Visuals: On a sky blue background, the flag of Alaska is seen on a white flagpole, waving around like its in the wind. Over the flag is the text "KTOO - KUAC - KAKM - KYUK" arranged in a circle. The text "PUBLIC TELEVISION NETWORK OF ALASKA" is seen below in the same font.

Technique: A still, computerized image.

Audio: A droning synth arpeggio along with an announcer saying "A presentation of the Public Television Network of Alaska."

Availability: Can be seen on the Old Dances New Dancers and By The People.

2nd ID (1985-1992?)

Visuals: On a dark blue background with outlined orangish-yellow stars forming the Big Dipper and a single star in the top right (supposed to be the flag of Alaska), the text "KTOO - KUAC - KAKM - KYUK", arranged in a circle, appears with a patterned transition. The text "PUBLIC TELEVISION NETWORK OF ALASKA" fades in. A few seconds after the announcer speaks, the logo disappears with the same patterned transition.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: A weird staccato synth theme along with an announcer saying "A presentation of the Public Television Network of Alaska."

Audio Variant: On their coverage of the 1985 Alaska State Legislative Special Session, a different announcer says "Television coverage of this special event is funded by the Public Television Network of Alaska: KUAC Fairbanks, KAKM Anchorage, KYUK Bethel, and KTOO Juneau." No music is heard.

Availability: Can be seen on the Alaska Permanent Fund, Running, and Alaska Online.

3rd ID (1993-1995)

Visuals: On a dark purple gradient background, 8 gold stars pass by one-by-one on the left, while a strip of teal metal glides past on the right. As they reach the very center of the screen, the stars eventually start to spread out to form the Big Dipper and North Star and the metal strip rotates around to reveal itself as an outline of Alaska. 4 blinks of light cause the callsigns of the 4 member stations to pop in their respective city locations: "KAKM" in Anchorage, "KYUK" in Bethel, "KUAC" in Fairbanks, and "KTOO" in Juneau, and the text "Public Television Network of Alaska" wipes in below in an italicized white font with a black drop-shadow effect.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A loud synth drone, with added scratching in the beginning, along with an different announcer saying "A presentation of the Public Television Network of Alaska."

Availability: It has been seen on Tales of the Tundra.
