1st (known) Logo
(1970s)
Nickname: "Starry 8"

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.
