Top 40 Cheesiest PBS Logos (UPDATE)

I made this video because I wanted to. I made this yesterday, but couldn't post it then.
I hope you enjoy this video, and thank you for watching!

The South Dakota Public Broadcasting logo actually dates back to 1981 (produced by Dolphin Productions, who did tons of electronic animation work until CGI put them out of business in the mid-‘80s).

The KQED 1974 indent was perfect. A skyview of the logo and then San fan in the distance.

*5:21** ''THAT IS IT FOT THIS LOGO''?*

[@NECHOII]

*5:38** ''I DON'T THINK TOO MUCH THAT THE VOIDE-OVER SOUNDS CHEESY''?*

[@NECHOII]

*8:33** ''I WISH THEY DIDI SOMETHING BETTER THAT TIME''?*

The SCETV logo before 1980 was cheese with its respective logo and music. This was cool with the cello and the tempo.

[@donmccullen1973]

The early 1970's MPT logo used a child because it was a children's show they produced. They used adult voices too.

[@donmccullen1973]

I like the 1980 KTCA logo. Rain, Snow, body of Water. That sounds like the Twin Cites. Better logos to come yes...especially the 1990's one.

[@donmccullen1973]

Hey I disagree with you on the WQED 1976 logo card. Its iconic, with the helicopter shot going over Pittsburgh. The music fits well.

[@donmccullen1973]

I agree with you on the early UNC-TV (now PBS North Carolina) logo.

I thought the commercial break was going to morph into “get stick bugged lol”

[@jabukagala]

That was uploaded before that meme existed.

There’s no reason to put “that’s all I have to say” at the end of your explanations. I don’t count KUCB as a logo, nor os it a PBS affiliate. There are no graphics, just text from an outdated character generator. I would’ve put every station that went into “(state/city/region) PBS” from the 2019 rebrand. That shows no effort. AETN had an iconic logo for a long time, but now it’s just a boring “Arkansas PBS.”

The KWSU logo is only known to have appeared on Heart - The Second Ending Live At KWSU, which aired in April 1976.

[@EFify2563]

My favorites are WQED, WTVS, KQED 1974, South Dakota Public Broadcasting and KPBS 1977!

[@donmccullen1973]

KUCB for sure is tops...but that public tv on a shoe string budget.

I don't know what people are getting scared of when it comes to the pbs logo and I think the logos are fine.
