KLRU - CLG Wiki

Cheesy Factor: Too simple with animation.

Scare Factor: Low. The cymbal sound can be a bit startling.

2nd Logo (1992-2000)

Nickname: "Another Skyline at Night"

Logo: We see the Austin skyline under the night sky. A comet comes in from the right, and when it gets to the middle, it flashes a giant KLRU logo on top, with a small "Austin" below it.

FX/SFX: The comet shooting and unveiling the logo.
