1st (known) Logo
(1970s)

360px|KPTS 1970s "Starry 8" logo

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)

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.
