Making the PBS logo (1990's)

Here's a mini documentary on how PBS made their 1990's logo. It's always fun to look back at things like this. I'm glad they made this!
This was produced by WGBH.
(If you're from WGBH and want this removed, just ask. I'll be happy to do so, no harm done. In the meantime, it's simply here for amusement.)

    Just ... so used to the voiceover, it feels almost foreign hearing the ident without it, at least for the first dozen times.

    Marketing, whether it is for beer, clothes, tires, or a network identifier, is so important. This is a perfect example of the tons of research just to get 'the look' right. Thanks for sharing.

    I think i may have briefly seen this logo once when I was like 3 or 4. For reference, I was born in 1994. Because the music in it sounds WEIRDLY familiar. That being said, I can’t believe this was NOT made with cgi. That’s pretty neat!

    I hated the 1989 logo. The black screen gave me a false feeling that the TV was turned off and then the glass P-Heads mysteriously step onto the screen thereafter. Quiet music also hurts too here. Georgia GPTV skipped this PBS logo and continued using the 1989 logo throughout the 1990s. I moved out in 1996 so I don’t know when they updated their PBS ID.
