'''Nickname:''' "Epic Public Television"

'''Logo:''' On a black background, we zoom out through the top of a lowercase, {{Font color|sienna|brown}}, 3D "{{Font color|sienna|'''mississippi'''}}" (a la the 1986 [[Warner Bros. Home Entertainment|Warner Home Video]] logo). There is a {{Font color|#FFD900|yellow}} glow around "{{Font color|sienna|'''mississippi'''}}" and the dots of the "{{Font color|sienna|'''i'''}}"s are at various places. While it is zooming out, it turns counter clockwise to face the viewer. Once it is in place, it flashes {{Font color|#FFD900|yellow}} while we zoom out past two {{Font color|sienna|brown}} "walls". The "walls" are actually part of the "{{Font color|sienna|'''E'''}}" of a stylized "{{Font color|sienna|'''ETV'''}}" where the "{{Font color|sienna|'''E'''}}" is at a 45-degree angle and the bottom-left is wedged into a combined {{Font color|sienna|brown}} "{{Font color|sienna|'''TV'''}}". The word "{{Font color|sienna|'''mississippi'''}}" zooms in while "{{Font color|sienna|'''ETV'''}}" is zooming out and stops alongside the "{{Font color|sienna|'''E'''}}" and ends before the "{{Font color|sienna|'''V'''}}". Once everything is in place, the whole logo flashes {{Font color|#FFD900|yellow}}, giving the letters of "{{Font color|sienna|'''ETV'''}}" a {{Font color|#FFD900|yellow}} outline.

'''Variant:''' A later short version cuts out the zooming of "mississippi".

'''FX/SFX:''' The flashing, zooming, and turning of the letters, done by Digital Effects, Inc. It appears to be early CGI, which does make it highly advanced for its time.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A dramatic violin and drum fanfare (an excerpt from the De Wolfe Music library track "Diffusion" by Reg Tilsley). The short version has three chimes play against a Moog synth bass line.

'''Availability:''' Rare, intact on older prints of The Write Channel, and later programs seen on MPB's YouTube channel. Its longevity is amazing, lasting at least into the early 90's.

'''Legacy:''' While this logo did not age very well (thanks to its color scheme and dated fonts), it is still a great example of the capabilities of early CGI.

'''Nickname:''' "Blue E", "Diamond E"

'''Logo:''' On a marble background we see two transparent {{Font color|blue|blue}} cubes that look like E's revolve, come, and and shifted the opposite directions. They form a solid {{Font color|blue|blue}} tilted "{{Font color|blue|'''E'''}}" (like the E in "ETV" from the previous logo). "''Mississippi Educational Network''" and "''Presents''" fade in. A spotlight can be seen shining. Another version had "MISSISSIPPI EDUCATIONAL TELEVISION", in a regular font, and the marble is different.

'''Variants:'''
* One version had a sky as its background. The text zooms out, and there is only one E, which comes from the top.
* Another version was superimposed into the intro, without text.

'''FX/SFX:''' Very good CGI animation that holds up today.

'''Music/Sounds:''' An orchestral fanfare not unlike the previous logo (the Diffusion music variant).

'''Availability:''' Rare.
