KPRC Local 2 in Houston is celebrating its 65th anniversary today. They've been using previous logos in the lower right hand corner of their newscasts:

That's because they both got John Christopher Burns remodels- KPRC in 1986, WESH in 1993.

 

That guy had some nice graphics that were ahead of it's time. And IIRC it wasn't CGI, mostly video effects with graphics designed on the Paintbox. It wasn't that simple to do back then, but my gawd was it so awesome looking.

 

The bug was a nice touch. I wished a lot of stations would've done what KPRC did, just on the anniversary day. So many stations around this time are ether celebrating 60 or 65 years on the air. (WMTW up in Portland did a piece last month on their 60 years as they move to their new facilities as an example.) It's awesome to look forward but it's also very cool to reflect on any stations past (good or bad) to build on the future. And it looks cool now showing what a 70s logo would've looked like if CGs had the ability to do static bugs.
