Logo (????-)

Visuals: On a blue gradient background is a red rectangle with the station's callsign in white and cursive, and a dark bluish square with the channel number, both on top of a black rectangle with the orange name of the city and the initials of the state the city is located in. A sweeping transition then plays, making the logo disappear. The logo then appears again using the same transition.

Variants:

• There has been a variant that is reported to appear across stations where the callsign reads "TEST-DT", the channel number reads "99", and the city name and state initials read "community, ST", pointing to this ID likely being made from a template.
• Sometimes, the transition is replaced with a simple fade.
• A different version can be seen on KAJF-LD (and possibly other stations) where a different rotating cube transition is used and the DTV America logo appears at the top.

Technique: Mostly 2D computer animation, though the DTV America variants use CGI.

Audio: A stock guitar theme.

Availability: Currently in use on several stations owned by HC2 Holdings or DTV America.

Legacy: These IDs are somewhat infamous within the logo community due to their almost-identical appearance and the transitions used.
