Background: KBC Two is the second flagship television channel of the Katnevian Broadcasting Corporation in Katnev. It covers a wide range of subject matter, but tends to broadcast more "highbrow" programmes than the more mainstream and popular KBC One.
KBC2
1st logo
(1974-1985)
Logo: On a blue background we see the KBC diamond logo of the time, it then flips to a 2.
Variants: Staring in 1982, the background starts yellow and fades to purple when the logo flips.
FX/SFX: The flipping. For the 1982 ident, the flipping and the background changing colours.
Music/Sounds: An eight-note fanfare.
Availability: Extinct.
Editor’s Note: None.
2nd logo
(1985-1988)
Logo: On a black background, we see blue stripes moving and turning to the center of the screen to form a 2.
FX/SFX: The stripes forming the 2, done in CGI.
Music/Sounds: A fanfare different than the previous ident.
Availability: Extinct.
Editor’s Note: None.
3rd logo
(1988-1994)
Logo: Same as the KBC1 logo of the time, except the 1 is replaced with a "2", cut short, and fades to a marble background.
FX/SFX: Same as the KBC1 logo of the time, with the addition of the background changing.
Music/Sounds: The last six notes of the KBC1 theme at the time.
Availability: Extinct.
Editor’s Note: None.
4th log
(1994-1998)
Nicknames: "The Giant 2"
Logo: Against a sky background with birds flying, a glass background is in front of it, completely blurring the background. The part that is not blurred is a giant "2" on the right side of the screen, taking up over half of the screen. On the bottom left, the KBC2 logo of the time is next to the "2".
Variants: Here some known variants, most likely having to do with the blurred background.
- The blurred background has ships/boats sailing on a sea (most likely near a dock). There are two known variants around the similar thing. One has to do with the ships/boats at a cloudy day (with the blurred background of the glass you can hardly tell) and the other has to do with a man using his oars to navigate his boat.
- The blurred background has a close up of a flower.
- An animated version of the logo exists, which starts with a bunch of white lines forming the "2", and the blurred background is the waves hitting the rock.
- Same as above, except this time the blurred background is a pair of cows on a field of grass on a sunrise/cloudy day (once again, the blurred background of the glass makes it hard to tell).
- Once again, the white lines form the "2". The blurred background is rain hitting against a window.
- The blurred background is a shore of a beach.
FX/SFX: The live-action background. The lines forming the 2 on the animated version.
Music/Sounds: A synth piano tune.
Music/Sounds Variant: There exists an extended version of the above music, which starts with a flute playing.
Availability: Extinct.
Editor's Note: None.

- Sea/Radar: TBA
- Dog/Fish: TBA
- Space/Compass: TBA
FX/SFX: Slightly primitive looking animation, but it was acceptable for the time period.

8th Logo
(June 2009-2014)
Nickname: "Magnetic"
Logo: Live action scenes involving inanimate objects coming closer together; apparently based around "The invisible patriotic energy which binds Katnevian people together". Part way through the idents, the KBC Two logo, forms in the bottom left hand corner of the screen.
Variants: Several variants exist, with more still being introduced:
- Pier: a night time scene of a pier that starts to light up.
- Balloons: a mass of balloons crowd together under a bridge.
- Buoys: Some buoys roll along a beach whilst the tide's out and attract to each other.
- Chairs: several chairs slide along a school sports hall. The camera then pans across to reveal that a big pile of chairs have already attracted to each other.
- Frisbees: A series of frisbees congregate round a telegraph pole.
FX/SFX: Mostly live action; there is probably some CGI present in the idents as well.
Music/Sounds: Each ident has its own jingle.
