Nickname: "Starry 8"
Logo: On a black background, a yellow "8" zooms in, and six stars pop up. "Wichita" fades in below.
FX/SFX: Early scanimation graphics.
Music/Sounds: Unknown.
Availability: It showed up on KPTS' 40th anniversary special. Not sure if this was an actual logo, though.
Editor's Note: None.
2nd Logo
(1981-1990)
<img align="right" alt="KPTS logo from 1981" height="224" src="http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/1/9Yu0TATNj3RCJrWG5sP4lA18692/GW314H224" title="KPTS logo from 1981" width="314"/>Nickname: "Wheat"
Logo: We see three live-action strands of wheat blowing back and forth against a blue stripy background. "KPTS", in a sort-of futuristic cursive yellow display font you might find on old 1950s cars and tires, fades in on the bottom-right. "WICHITA", in yellow Handel Gothic font (like "HOME VIDEO" in the 1983 Walt Disney Home Video logo) fades in below "KPTS".
FX/SFX: Not much on animation.
Music/Sounds: Again, unknown.
Availability: This was seen on locally-produced shows from KPTS from that era. It also showed up on the anniversary special.
Editor's Note: None, it's just boring.
