avid note: "This logo is an oddity, as this logo's existence was practically unknown until Kennedy Center Education Digital Learning uploaded The Subject is Jazz: Performance on October 29, 2018. Its similarity to the NBC "Chimes" logo may or may not be a coincidence, as The Subject is Jazz was a co-production with NBC."

audio:: Eric Siday - Plenipotentiary
avid note: "This is by far the most well-known NET logo. With its mellotron fanfare, the announcer, the dark background, and the low audio and grainy film quality, it gained a reputation for frightening children who grew up with Mister Rogers' Neighborhood or Sesame Street."
clg note: "The most well-known NET logo. With its mellotron fanfare, announcer, dark background, and poor audio and grainy film quality gaining a reputation of frightening children who grew up with Mister Rogers' Neighborhood or Sesame Street, it's one of the more fascinating logos in the history of NET/PBS."

avid note: "The logo was debated for a while to be either for WNET or NET, as it was widely believed that NET was replaced in 1970 by PBS. However, recent discoveries have shown that it was for the latter."
clg note: "This is highly regarded as one of the most advanced logos of its time, and looks even better than some of the later Scanimate logos. It's extremely unique, and was later reused and improved upon for its use on WNET. It was also highly debated if it was the original NET's logo or WNET's due to its confusing usage on both of the station's shows and their relationship and interactions with each other. Plus, WNET carried an entirely different logo at the time even though it was known as WDNT (but was retooled with the WNET name as an in-credit notice in 1971). Regardless, this is an interesting logo."
