I'll bet this was probably a combination of computer graphics and Scanimate. The letters are CGI (if you look closely at the dots of the lowercase Is, you can see the polygons) and it was ran through a Scanimate to make the glowing.
@@NoEntertainment Yes, you are correct-- Digital Effects Inc. (DEI), one of the very first CGI animation studios (founded in 1978, IIRC), created this logo for Mississippi ETV around 1979, and was fully and digitally rendered as CGI, no Scanimate involved. DEI used a combination of a Amdahl mainframe system and an IBM System/370 connected to a film recorder for performing the actual rendering, according to Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Effects_(studio) ). IIRC, the System/370's frame buffer/film recorder could only output monochrome imagery, so for DEI's color animations, 3 different renderings in B&W with each one for red, green, and blue respectively were made with the 3 films optically combined into one color film for the final animation.
Very great animation for 1978.
I love the music!
My left ear enjoyed this.
We're already halfway there

Seen at the end of the Digital Effects INC. demo reel.

I personally think it's all CGI. Digital Effects made it after all. Digital.

Wow its cgi and its in the 70s!!!
PBS makes the future happen.

This logo did not age well thanks to the colors and outdated fonts
I still like this logo
Outdated font? I didn’t know that was possible. Font and the colors look fine to me.
It looks too advanced to Scanimate but it is in fact scanimate
100% computer animation here.
Where it's scanimate or not, it would still be 100% computer animation, I think.
@@NoEntertainment i was obsessed with scanimate back then so...
