Visuals: On a black-shady blue gradient background, a tall bracket-like bar folds up from the ground, followed by a shorter one and then a trapezoid, all colored blue and casting a long shadow across the ground. The final result of this resembles a stylized lowercase "a". Then, a star wipes in the text "The Annenberg/CPB Project", in the Optima font, from left-to-right, and then the shadow disappears.
Variants:
Technique: Computer animation.
Audio: 3 synth notes with a "wah" effect as the "a" unfolds, then 8 higher synth notes as the star reveals the text, with the 8th note longer. Then, an announcer (typically a male announcer) would be heard (during the 8th note of the jingle), announcing the above channel's name. Overall, there have been a couple changes between the announcing. Here are a couple variants:
Availability:
Visuals: Same as the revised previous logo, but the text "Annenberg Media" wipes in with a sparkle effect below. The logo is also more saturated.
Variant: From 2004 to 2006, the logo faded out to make room for the following text:
"Funding for this program provided by" is aligned to the left.
Technique: Modern computer effects.
Audio: A redone version of the last logo's music done with pianos, strings and modern synths. A female announcer says "Annenberg Media."
Audio Variant: In 2006, the announcement was changed to say "Funding for this program is provided by Annenberg Media."
Availability:
Visuals: Same as the previous logos, with the text now reading "ANNENBERG LEARNER" in a spaced out font; it also wipes in with a less vibrant sparkle effect. The "a" zooms out after the text wipes in, and the colors have returned to their original shades.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: Same as the last logo, except the narrator now says "Funding for this program was provided by Annenberg Learner."
Availability: It can be seen on newer on-demand programs from Annenberg's website, including Against All Odds.
