'''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".

Once everything is in place, the whole logo flashes yellow and the letters of the "ETV" are now outlined with yellow.

2nd Logo (1978-1994?)

Nickname: "Epic Public Television"

Logo: On a black background, we zoom out through the top of a lowercase, brown, 3D "mississippi" (a la the 1986 Warner Home Video logo). There is a yellow glow around "mississippi" and the dots of the "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 yellow while we zoom out past two brown "walls". The "walls" are actually part of the "E" of a stylized "ETV" where the "E" is at a 45-degree angle and the bottom-left is wedged into a combined brown "TV". The word "mississippi" zooms in while "ETV" is zooming out and stops alongside the "E" and ends before the "V". Once everything is in place, the whole logo flashes yellow, giving the letters of "ETV" a 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.

Editor's Note: 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.


3rd Logo (1994?-2005)

Nickname: "Blue E", "Diamond E"

Logo: On a marble background we see two transparent blue cubes that look like E's revolve, come, and and shifted the opposite directions. They form a solid blue tilted "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.

Editor's Note: None.
