Line 368:
* On all ''Sesame Street'' episodes with this logo from 1991-1995, the announcer (Gordon [Roscoe Orman]) says "Funding for this program was provided in part by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting... and by public television stations and their contributors." In 1991-1992 only, the "Funky Chimes" played under the voiceover; starting in November 1992, the music was a rearrangement of the '90s closing theme.
* On 1995-1998 episodes of ''Sesame Street'', a kid (Gabi [Gabriela Rose Reagan]) says "Funding for ''Sesame Street'' was provided in part by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting... and by public television stations and their contributors." A brass-driven, jazzy rearrangement of the show's theme music played under the voiceover.
* On 1999-2000 episodes of ''Dragon Tales'', the announcer says "''Dragon Tales'' is funded in part
* On 1998-2000 episodes of ''Sesame Street'', Gordon says
* Sometimes, for example, on 1989-1991 episodes of NOVA, 1989-1999 episodes of ''Frontline'', and 1989-1996 episodes of ''Nightly Business Report'' (the latter only at the end), the announcer says, "...the [annual] financial support of viewers like you", even though "Public Television Viewers" is shown on the screen.
* Starting on November 1, 1999, the "viewers like you" spiel is changed to "Contributions to your PBS station from viewers like you (or, in the case of such programs as ''Sesame Street'', ''Masterpiece'', and ''PBS Arts Fall Festival'', "...and viewers like you.") Thank you."
Line 378:
* It has been preserved on reruns of 1991-2000 PBS programs, even when the current PBS logo is plastered over a previous logo. Also preserved on PBS Home Video tapes and DVDs of the era.
* The byline variant, which first appeared on the ''Shining Time Station'' episode "''Becky Makes a Wish''", is much easier to find and can be spotted, for example, at the end of at least one or two episodes on a few of ''The Magic School Bus'' DVD releases, the [[KidVision]] VHS of ''The Magic School Bus'' episodes "''Butterfly and the Bog Beast''" (released as "''Butterflies!''") and "''Out of This World''" (this does ''not'' appear on the KidVision releases of "''Taking Flight''" and ''A Magic School Bus Halloween'', the latter which was made out to look like a simple double-episode videocassette of "''Going Batty''" and "''Inside the Haunted House''" per the slipcover), and on some [[PolyGram Video|PolyGram]] tapes of ''Wishbone'' that end with the Big Feats! logo, including "''Salty Dog''" (on such ''Wishbone'' tapes, this will inevitably be followed by the 1993 [[PBS Kids]] logo). It also assists the plastering of the previous funding credits for post-1994 prints of David Macaulay's ''Castle'' and ''Cathedral''.
* This logo was last seen on ''Dragon Tales'' reruns on PBS Kids Sprout and can be also found on
* On DVD, the standard animation of the 1993 logo can also be found with the Ken Burns' documentaries ''Baseball'' and ''Thomas Jefferson'', and the Rick Sebak documentary, ''An Ice Cream Show''.
* The solo "Viewers Like You" variant made a surprise appearance on ''Not Done: Women Remaking America'', broadcast on October 27, 2020.

'''Variants:'''
* On ''Life 360'', the whole thing is on a black background.
* On several shows such as ''The Ruff Ruffman Show'', a still version is superimposed over the credits of that show.
* Some shows, like ''Nature'', just use "Viewers Like You."
* On ''American Experience'', the logo is in {{Font color|gold|gold}}.
* On PBS Kids shows, such as ''Clifford the Big Red Dog'', ''Reading Rainbow,'' ''Sesame Street'', ''Plaza Sesamo'' and ''Dragon Tales'', there is a certain background with two halves of different colors. On the bottom half, there is a kid's head, and on the top half, there is a thought bubble, transforming from two different objects (a flower, music notes, a truck and a kite) to another kid's head. For the CPB logo, the top half is {{Font color|red|red}}, and the bottom half is {{Font color|#FFD900|yellow}}, and a girl's head is placed on the bottom right.
* There is another PBS Kids variant that lacks the heads and thought bubbles, while the logos are centered on the screen. Also, the CPB logo appears on the second screen, after the US Department of Education logo is shown. On Season 3 of ''Dragon Tales'', there is an additional third screen with "Viewers Like You" centered on the {{Font color|red|red}} top half with the girl's head shown without the thought bubble.
* Some shows, like ''Between the Lions'' and ''Dragon Tales'' (Season 2), do not use "Viewers Like You."
* On ''Reading Rainbow'' and some prints of ''Dragon Tales'', the {{Font color|blue|blue}} dots bounce off the bottom of the screen, then onto the middle and form the CPB logo. The URL slides in to the top left of the screen. Then, the byline (which is now in a straight line, in {{Font color|blue|blue}}, and not all capitalized) fades in at the bottom and forms a smile. Sometimes, the text may not smile.
* On 2001-2007 episodes of ''Great Performances'', the logo looks more like a rectangle, apparently due to some sloppy digital manipulation.
* Some pledge drive specials, even a ''Sesame Street/Elmo's World'' special, use only the "Viewers Like You" half of the standard variant.
* A alternate version of the RR variant exists, where instead it has the same animation as the normal variant.
'''FX/SFX:''' The blue dots forming the CPB logo.
Line 484:
'''Music/Sounds/Voice-over:''' The music consists of a futuristic synth tune as the dots appear, followed by a woodwind note as the CPB logo wipes in. This is followed by an updated version of the 1996 PBS logo's music, performed on brass. (This version is also used for the actual PBS logo on ''Beyond the Color Line''.) The voiceovers are the same as the 7th logo.
'''Music/Sounds/Voice-over Variants:'''
* The ''Reading Rainbow'' variant has a weird Moog synth tune with kids claiming
* The solo "Viewers Like You" variant is not known to have any music.
* The logo may also have no music.
* For the ''Clifford the Big Red Dog'', ''Reading Rainbow'', ''Plaza Sesamo'' and ''Dragon Tales'' variants, a funky synth tune.
'''Availability:'''
* May appear on PBS programs from 2000-2015 if your station has older prints. Also seen on a few PBS Home Video tapes of the era.
* While the superimposed variants are more common, the {{Font color|blue|blue}} dots version is close to being rare, only being known to appear on home video on ''America Rebuilds: A Year at Ground Zero'', although the ''Reading Rainbow'' variant can be easily found on current DVD releases of the show.
*
* This is plastered by the 12th logo on current broadcast prints of ''Jazz'', though most episodes retain this logo on their streaming counterparts.
* The logo is still used on the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and PBS Kids websites.
'''Editor's Note:''' It should be said that despite the shape change, the "cpb" text looks even more like the Chuck Barris logo.

This article is about the regular idents used by Corporation for Public Broadcasting. For other idents, see Viewers Like You.
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) is a non-profit corporation created by the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967, signed into law by U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson on November 7 of that year. It was created to provide partial federal funding for public broadcasting, initially collaborating with National Educational Television (NET) stations before starting their own private non-profit networks, Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) for television and National Public Radio (NPR) for radio.
Variant: On Mister Rogers' Neighborhood episodes from 1993-2001, the byline "A private corporation funded by the American people" (more commonly seen with the 7th logo and beyond) is added.
FX/SFX: None.
Music/Sounds/Voice-over: The text has no music of its own, but on several shows of the era it plays over the opening and closing themes. There are at least three voice-over variations:
Availability: Uncommon.
Editor's Note: None.
Logo: On a blue background we see a dark blue emblem consisting of the lowercase letters "c", "p" and "b" stacked together like a mixed-up jigsaw puzzle, and the text "Corporation for Public Broadcasting" written below in a serif font.
Variants:
FX/SFX: None.
Music/Sounds/Voice-over: This logo has no music, but one of the following voice-overs is heard:
Availability: Very rare.
Editor's Note: The logo's abstract design is a throwback to mid-century abstract graphics.
Logo: Just a stylized "cpb" with the company name below. Sometimes, "The Program Fund" will appear above the company name.
FX/SFX: None.
Music/Sounds: Same as the 2nd logo.
Availability: Extremely rare. Seen on some episodes of Great Performances, including a trilogy of adaptations of works by Edith Wharton, and American Playhouse.
Editor's Note: None.
Logo: Just a circle with a stylized "CPB" cut into it on a blue (or black) background, with the phrase:
underneath, in Garamond.
Variants:
FX/SFX: None.
Music/Sounds/Voice-over: Same as the 2nd logo.
Availability: Ultra rare. Preserved on 1983-1985 Reading Rainbow tapes. This also appeared on pre-1987 episodes of The MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour, Jukebox Saturday Night, season 1 episodes of The American Experience, and Eyes on the Prize.
Editor's Note: The logo bears a striking resemblance to the Chuck Barris logo and would continue to go up all the way until 2002.
Logo: Same as the fourth logo, but this time the background is a black/purple gradient. The whole thing also has a drop shadow.
Variants:
FX/SFX: None.
Music/Sounds/Voice-over: Same as the 2nd logo, although a few episodes of Degrassi Junior High lacked the voice-over.
Availability: Ultra rare. Preserved on 1985-1987 Reading Rainbow tapes. This was also used on season 1 episodes of Square One TV, The Ring of Truth, 3-2-1 Classroom Contact, Degrassi Junior High, and Frontline, among others. Also seen on the 1992 rebroadcast of Huey Long, with the 1991 CPB logo following as part of the general funding credits for the rebroadcasts of this and three other Ken Burns classics at the time.
Editor's Note: None.
Logo: The whole thing takes place on a space background with stars zooming past. The CPB logo is now in 3-D, and the circle is colored blue and white. First, we see it slowly rotating 90 degrees to the left. After it finishes rotating the words, the name pops up like this:
Variants:
FX/SFX: The stars, and the occasional 90 degree rotation of the CPB circle from the left side of the screen; decent quality CGI.
Music/Sounds/Voice-over: Same as the 2nd logo, often with "...and by the (annual) financial support of viewers like you." or just simply "...and viewers like you.".
Availability: Rare.
Editor's Note: This logo is a favorite to longtime PBS viewers as with new CGI effects.
Logo: Here are the main variants of this logo:
Variants:
FX/SFX: The lines and the circles sliding. Great animation.
Music/Sounds/Voice-over: Same as the 6th logo. The voice-overs are the same as the first logo.
Music/Sounds/Voice-over Variants:
Availability: Pretty common.
Editor's Note: Much like the 6th logo, this is a favorite to most PBS viewers.
Variants:
FX/SFX: The background.
Music/Sounds/Voice-over:
Availability: Very rare. In fact, it's probably the one of rarest of the CPB logos.
Editor's Note: None.
Nickname: "CPB in a Square"
Logo: On an aqua background, blue and white dots appear in the center of the screen and pulse out, while streaks run through it. The rings then form the CPB logo, redesigned again with smoother text and is now in a square. The "p" and "b" are connected to the edge of the square. The white then fades out inside the text and 4 streaks run along the edges. The same byline appears underneath in all capitals, but with "CPB.ORG" at the end in blue, which is wiped with a streak.
Variants:
FX/SFX: The blue dots forming the CPB logo.
Music/Sounds/Voice-over: The music consists of a futuristic synth tune as the dots appear, followed by a woodwind note as the CPB logo wipes in. This is followed by an updated version of the 1996 PBS logo's music, performed on brass. (This version is also used for the actual PBS logo on Beyond the Color Line.) The voiceovers are the same as the 7th logo.
Music/Sounds/Voice-over Variants:
Availability:
Editor's Note: It should be said that despite the shape change, the "cpb" text looks even more like the Chuck Barris logo.
Logo: On a blue/purple/red ethereal background with silhouettes of random people doing various things, the CPB logo wipes in horizontally (first with the dots, then the text), and the byline from the 9th logo appears. During all of this, the PBS P-Head (the 1989 PBS logo's size) is shown in the background, moving up and down, left and right, etc.
Variants:
FX/SFX: The wiping in of the CPB logo.
Music/Sounds/Voice-over: Several variations of the 2002 PBS logo's music have been used so far. The voiceover is the same as the 8th logo.
Music/Sounds/Voice-over Variants:
Availability: Common.
Editor's Note: None.
Logo: On the 2009 PBS logo's bubble background, the CPB logo in white appears via bubbles forming the square while the text zooms out, and the byline from the 9th and 10th logos appears. Then, "Viewers Like You" wipes in left to right, in the PBS Explorer font (similar in style to Interstate). "Viewers Like" is white, and "You" is yellow within a dark rectangle. After a few seconds, "Viewers Like" wipes out right to left and is replaced by "Thank", with "You" shifting to the left to ensure centering just as quickly.
Variants:
FX/SFX: The wiping in of the CPB logo.
Music/Sounds/Voice-over: A variation of the 2009 PBS logo's music. The voiceover is the same as in the previous logo.
Music/Sounds/Voice-over Variants:
Availability: Common.
Editor's Note: None.
Nickname: "CPB in a Square IV"
Logo: TBA.
FX/SFX: TBA.
Music/Sounds/Voice-over: Usually the same as before, though The Transformational Power of Yoga and Loretta Lynn: My Story in My Words use the extended version of the 2019 PBS logo's "Nature Walk" music variant.
Availability: Brand new. First seen on The Warrior Tradition. May appear on NOVA, Washington Week, PBS NewsHour, Wild Kratts, Arthur, Hero Elementary, Elinor Wonders Why, and some other shows from PBS. Thus far, however, only superimposed and/or static versions are known to exist.
Editor's Note: None.
