Hearst Television IDs

ID (1995-1999)
Logo: Taking place on a close-up of a camera lens with orange and lavender lights moving around it, a large print logo of the station's network (NBC peacock on WBAL-TV, ABC logo everywhere else) tilts and zooms back to the the top left, illuminated in silver and then turning dark as it settles in position. As this happens, the station's logo (in the form of their channel number) appears in front on its side at a slight angle, and zooms out to the right side of the screen while rotating clockwise into view. Station ID info fades in on the left in the Bank Gothic font, with the call letters on top and city/cities below in smaller, spaced out text with a line in between both and on the left (or right in WDTN's version) of the latter.

Trivia: These were made by LoConte-Goldman Design in Boston, MA, and was part of a larger branding and graphics package mandate for the Hearst stations that was also designed at the same agency, all based on a "camera lens" theme.

Stations:
 * WBAL-TV in Baltimore, MA (1995-1998)
 * WCVB in Boston, MA (1995-1998)
 * WDTN in Dayton/Springfield, OH (1995-1999)
 * WISN-TV in Milwaukee, WI (1996-1999)
 * KMBC-TV in Kansas City, MO (1995-1998)
 * WTAE-TV in Pittsburgh, PA (1995-1998)

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: A short brass-based fanfare from the "Image News" music package. Composed by Gari Communications (now known as Gari Media Group) and was originally commissioned by Hearst as part of the aforementioned mandate.
 * This is often accompanied by an announcer.

Availability: Extinct on TV. These usually appeared at the beginning of news intros during this period, and were sometimes used as standalone IDs.

ID (1998-2005)
Logo: On a diagonally stretched black/blue/red camera lens background with constantly moving rings and lights, a bright flash brings forth the station's (channel number) logo at a 3D angle facing towards the top right and filling the screen, followed by a few more flashes bringing in the logo of their affiliated network in the same 3D treatment; both zoom out to a comfortable distance. Station ID info (stylized like before) appears below the logo and converges to bottom left corner of the screen. The station and network logos rotate clockwise very slowly for the remainder of the ID sequence.

Trivia: Like before, these were also animated at LoConte-Goldman Design. They were part of a refresh of the existing "camera lens" mandate.

Variants:
 * KETV, WGAL, WXII and WLKY has their logos facing toward the middle of the screen instead.
 * On WLWT's version, their logo comes to a hard stop after zooming out instead of slowing down. The NBC peacock is animated normally, however.
 * On WAPT and WPBF's versions, the angles of their respective logos do not match with ABC's logo.
 * WCVB used a variant in 2001 that commemorated being named "Station of the Year" by the Associated Press that year. It starts off with blue text zooming in reading "AP NEWS STATION OF THE YEAR" spanning across two rows with a line in between both, with a blurry tilted circle behind it. After a couple seconds, they fade out and the usual logo animation continues as normal. The camera lens background is even more distorted here.

Technique: Computer animation. The camera lens background was most likely animated using motion control.

Music/Sounds: Same as before ("Image News") on some stations, others used a different brass-based theme from the "Revolution" music package (also originally commissioned by Hearst and composed by Gari Communications). Details are listed above in the "stations" section.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * KCRA's version contained an sounder towards the end that resembles their slogan, Where The News Comes First.
 * As a new graphics and music package was being rolled out to the Hearst-Argyle stations between 2003 and 2005, several stations stopped using their aforementioned music packages early and switched to the newer Jerome Gilmer-composed music for the remainder of this graphics' run on the following stations:
 * KCCI (2003)
 * KCRA (2004)
 * KETV (2004)
 * KHBS-KHOG (2004)
 * KMBC (2004)
 * KSBW (2004)
 * WESH (2003)
 * WGAL (2004)
 * WLKY (2003)
 * WXII (2004)
 * WTAE (2004)
 * WYFF (2004)

Availability: Same as the 1st ID.
