Logo: On a black background, a golden flash appears and forms a ring. The ring rotates to the front, then it flashes again to form the words "AETN". Orange sparkles are seen below the words, which form the words "An" (above "AETN") and "Presentation" (below "AETN"), a copyright year stamp, "Arkansas Educational Television Network", and "All Rights Reserved".The ring then glows, and the logo stays on-screen for 5 seconds, while continuing to shine.
