  Alternate variant

Visuals: On a black background is the white text "woub-tv" in the center of the screen. Then multiple blue trails of the text appears at the left side of the screen and then moves to the right side. Once the trail moves to the right, the text fades.

Variant: An alternate variant exists where the logo says "WOUB-TV20" instead of "woub-tv".

Technique: Simple scanimate animation.

Audio: A synth instrumental theme (actually the opening of "Baroque Hoedown" by Jean-Jacques Perrey and Gershon Kingsley, best known in the US as the main theme from Disney's Main Street Electrical Parade), as well as an announcer saying "Produced in Athens at the Ohio University Telecommunications Center".

Availability:

• The main logo was discovered on the one-off program Appalachian Green Parks Project.
• The alternate variant was spotted on Hocking Valley Bluegrass.
