KQEH

KTEH was a PBS affiliate located in San Jose, California that became KQEH (KQED Plus) in 2011.

1st Logo (1979-1982)

• 
• 

Visuals: On a dark blue background, in sync with the first note of the music, it is seen that the KTEH symbol (in a New Zelek font) appear with a circular fade effect, in a murky yellow tinged with maroon at the edges. This repeats for similar looking text that says "SAN JOSE" (the same font as the KTEH symbol) and "PRESENTS" (Neue Haas Grotesk font), again in sync with the second and third notes of the logo. The logo fades out with the music.

Trivia: The logo itself was lost for about 10 years and it was infamous for being misknown by having the tune of "Logo #7" by Vic Sepanski (which is the same tune of WIPB and WPSX logos of the '80s).

Variant: In some programs, the logo is on a black background, it has similarities with the animated logo but the KTEH symbol, "SAN JOSE" and "PRESENTS" text (this time having the Eurostile font) are seen with a gold shine instead. This time only having a fade-in and out effect.

Technique: Chroma key on the animated variant, fading effects in the still variant.

Audio: The first track of Sound Patterns With Logo by Don Voegeli (which is on the album Four Notes In Search Of A Tune) with the first note cut off.

Audio Variant: None on the still variant.

2nd Logo (1982-1986)

• 

Visuals: On a black background, sparks draw in many circuit lines, each in pairs of three with there red pairs from the top and three blue pairs from the bottom. They then draw in several different directions, but ultimately go towards the center of the screen to wipe in the text "KTEH" in a font similar to the WDVM/WUSA logo at the time, from both areas at the same time. As the sparks go off of the logo, the logo glows furiously, eventually causing the sparks to fade out and changing the text to orange. Below the logo, there is "SAN JOSE" while above it, either "A PRESENTATION OF" or "A PRODUCTION OF" in a font similar to Microgramma.

Technique: Motion-controlled animation.

Audio: A Moog synthesizer jingle, with a laser beam at the end.

Audio Variant: When used as an end tag for a sign-off promo, it uses "Excerpt From Toccata Per Cembalo" by Don Voegeli on the album "Instant Production Music, Volume 5: Classical Beds".

Technique: 2D animation.

Visuals: On a black background, the white letters "KTeH" rotate in one by one, with a square appearing behind them. The colors are blue, teal, orange, and purple respectively, and the "e" is slightly tilted. Below, "SAN JOSE PUBLIC TELEVISION" fades in below in an Art Deco font.

Variants:

• There is a variant with "A Co-Production of" or "In Association With" on top of the logo, of which fade out before the logo fully forms.
• On late-1990s episodes of The Computer Chronicles, the logo is inside a Netscape Navigator window with a background reading the show's title, and "Produced in Association with" is above the logo. The variant is made to resemble a web page from the time.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: A twinkling synthesizer and chimes tune, actually a track named "Maiden Flight" from the Network Music "Brainstorm 5 - Audio Logos" CD. It has 2 versions, one having the full jingle, and a short version that begins with the 5 chime notes and fades out early. Otherwise, it uses the opening theme or silence.
