I miss Ron Stone. He and Doug Johnson were magic together. And that salutation that Ron used to say at the beginning of every broadcast, "Hello, neighbors", will resonate in my memory for as long as I live. It ranks up there with "That's the way it was" as a newscasting classic. He was the consumate professional, yet so down to earth. Ron was a warm and genuinely friendly man with a good heart and a great sense of humor. I'll always cherish "The Eyes of Texas". Rest in peace, Mr. Stone.
@molonlave2010: I liked the 2 here better, but always preferred the previous opening theme music. The branding switchover for the 2 logo (and newsroom) was the day after Labor Day 1985, just following the Jerry Lewis telethon.
@parachuteclubbed I've seen all of KPRC's logos from 1960 on up and this one was the best, in my opinion-although the 1969-76 "Big 2" version has a goofy charm to it.
I recall the big deal Channel 2 made when they adopted this logo. They called it "New 2" in promos. BTW, the current logo holds the record for KPRC logos-it's been used since 1995.

The graphics are really sharp. And the music is really lively, too.

That 2 logo looks better than the one before 1986
