WGBH's most famous and best known logo, consisting of the company name with a double drop shadow on both sides of it, was designed by Chermayeff & Geismar. This logo's first on-air appearance occurred on March 3, 1974, during the series premiere of Nova. A network ID was produced in 1977 by Chris Pullman.
