'''Visuals:''' On a black-{{color|steelblue|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 {{color|blue}} and casting a long shadow across the ground. The final result of this resembles a stylized lowercase "{{color|blue|'''a'''}}". Then, a star wipes in the text "{{Font|Optima|'''The Annenberg/CPB Project'''}}", in the Optima font, from left-to-right, and then the shadow disappears.
'''Variants:'''
Line 30:
*Starting in <u>1999</u>, the logo is revised with smoother animation and a slightly redesigned "{{color|blue|'''a'''}}". The text now reads "{{Font|arial|Annenberg/CPB}}" in Arial, and the byline "{{Font|arial|Annenberg Foundation-Corporation for Public Broadcasting}}" fades in when the shadow disappears.
**A version exists where the byline just reads "{{Font|arial|Annenberg Foundation}}"
*A version exists where the entire logo is remade with 3D CGI, with a {{color|darkgreen|dark green}} "{{color|darkgreen|'''a'''}}" and the text reading "{{Font|Optima|'''The Annenberg/CPB Math and Science Project'''}}" instead.
'''Technique:''' Computer animation (2D on most versions, 3D on the Math and Science variant).

Annenberg/CPB, originally known as The Annenberg/CPB Project, was a joint venture of the Annenberg Foundation and the Corporation of Public Broadcasting, formed in 1981 through a gift from Walter Annenberg, founder of the Annenberg Foundation. In 2006, the Annenberg Foundation (and the Annenberg Channel) withdrew their partnership from CPB, and renamed its channel to Annenberg Media. Despite that, the Dish Network channel University House Channel continued to rerun pre-2006 programs of the former Annenberg/CPB library until October 2008, when UHC permanently discontinued its satellite stations. However, Annenberg Media remains active as Annenberg Learner; their website, www.learner.org, still exists, and one can check it out to find information on their programs, FAQ, email, and much more.

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 (2D on most versions, 3D on the Math and Science variant).
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:

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, "Annenberg Media" wipes in with a sparkle effect below, from left to right. The entire logo's color scheme is more saturated than the Annenberg/CPB logo.
Variant: From 2004 to 2006, the logo would fade 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 Annenberg/CPB 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."

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, "ANNENBERG LEARNER", in a spaced out font, wipes in with a less vibrant sparkle effect than the Annenberg Media logo, from left to right. The "a" zooms out after the text wipes in. The color scheme matches that of the Annenberg/CPB logo.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: The music from the Annenberg Media logo. The announcer 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.
