===1st Logo (1981-1982)=== Logo: On a blue background, we see a slanted yellow text that says "ipbn", but the letters are connected and the "i" is in the shape of Idaho except for the dot. Below it is a text that says "Idaho Public Broadcasting Network".

Cheesy Factor: Extremely simple animation, but it has more points thanks to the irritating music.

Scare Factor: Minimal, the music might disturb or annoy some.

===3rd Logo (1995-2005)=== Logo: On a brown water background, we see a lined rectangle with the Idaho map in it on the bottom, it moves up to the center and facing the viewer, while a text that says "IDAHO" with "PUBLIC TELEVISION" below it comes up from the above and then it moves down to the center and facing the viewer.
