Nicknames
: "Cincinnati Life", "Disney Rip-Off", "Life Around Cincinnati"

Logo: Against a black background, "Cincinnati", in
red letters, comes in from the right one-by-one with light trails behind them. Then, from the dot of the first I, four video screens zoom in, which have video clips playing that show various goings-on throughout Cincinnati. Then, the screens slide away to each corner of the screen with little red, blue, and yellow lights flashing in their wake to show the words

wcet-tv
Cincinnati, ohio
in a golden yellow color on the same background from before. "WCET-TV" glows brightly.

Some of the video clips include:
  1. A Cincinnati Reds game
  2. A roller-coaster
  3. A shot of a lake near Cincinnati skyline
  4. A man and his son in a park
  5. A couple talking in front of a fountain
  6. The Cincinnati Ballet Troupe
FX/SFX: The video and light effects; very impressive animation for 1976, but it became dated after awhile.

Music/Sounds: An uplifting orchestra tune led by violins, which sounds like something off an old Disney Channel ID (hence the 2nd nickname).

Availability: Extremely rare/near extinction. Was seen on Lillias! Yoga and You episodes from this era.

Editor's Note: Some may be bothered by the light effects, but this logo has great animation and music.



2nd Logo
(1991-1997)

Nickname: "The Paddle Steamer"

Logo: We see "WCET", outlined in purplish-pink (and I believe in a font similar to KCET's), over "Cincinnati", zooming in over an image of a paddle steamer at night.

FX/SFX: The zoom-in. Not even close to as impressive as the previous logo.

Music/Sounds: None. Using the previous logo's music (or even a synth tune!) would've been cool.

Availability: See above.

Editor's Note: None. It's just boring, even more boring than the latest one.
