The PBS “Tri-Coloured Everyman P-Heads” logo, which was shown from October 1971 until September 1984, when the PBS 1984’s “Split-Profile” P-Head logo became PBS’s new logo.
The Tri Colored P-Head logo was still seen on new episodes of PBS shows until November 1985, (Although it still continued to be used occasionally, though lesser and lesser, until 1990).
This was also, according to the Closing Logo Website, one of the scariest logos in the history of television, due to its startlingly primitive animation and frightening Moog synthesizer tones, including a sound like a telephone at the beginning.
Anybody scared?
If you know who was behind the PBS audio logo, leave a comment!

Yep, I used to have nightmares about it as a 6-year-old. I was stupid enough to tell my family about these nightmares- which resulted in ridicule for the next 10 years.
