Nickname: "NET Globe-Like Birdcage", "Fire Cage of Doom", "The YouTube Dots and Fire", "When You Think Your Video Is Buffering", ''The NYET'' Logo: On a black screen, several dots flash near the center of the screen (a la Screen Gems “Dancing Sticks” logo, or like YouTube dots while a video is buffering), and then we see a circle being drawn in the counterclockwise direction. A line is drawn through the circle going downwards, which quickly vanishes. A small fire can be seen starting within the circle. Another line is drawn through the center of the circle from left to right. Two lines like that on a Worldvision-like globe are drawn. Another pair, closer to the circle are drawn, like that of the first lines, and then two horizontal lines above the first horizontal line. The camera zooms backwards and we see a thick line (the top of the T) being drawn under the ball of fire, which later connects to the ball of fire. A vertical line (the beginning of the N) is then formed. The T then finishes, and then the diagonal part of the N appears. Lastly, the E is formed. The fire continues blazing until we fade out. FX/SFX: The dots, the live-action fire, and the lines being drawn. Cheesy Factor: The animation is rough, especially when the letters are formed. The dots at the beginning of the logo look like a YouTube video buffering. Also, to some people, the fire looks like a human dancing. Music/Sounds/Voice-over: Pinball-like dings to start, which turns into a bombastic but brief brass piece. Almost immediately afterward, an announcer can be heard saying "The following program is from N-E-T, the National Educational Television network." (opening) or "This is N-E-T, the National Educational Television network.". (closing) Availability: Extremely rare. Can be seen on the 1965 program Changing the World: Southeast Asia, the Other War, the 1967 program Aphasia, the road back, both available for viewing on the Museum of Broadcast Communications Archives website, and on the 1965 James Baldwin vs. William F. Buckley debates, available for watching on YouTube. It has also been preserved on the VHS and DVD of Ten Blocks on the Camino Real. Scare Factor: Minimal to high. Even though it is not as widely remembered as the 1968 logo and future PBS logos, this could be quite scary, as the music, spooky announcer, live-action fire, and animation could set off people. It escalated with the next logo. Medium to high if the audio is warped, as the distortion can cause more scares.
