I'm pretty sure that looked a lot like the VLY screen I grew up with, as well as the WSW VLY/TY slides from late 1999-early 2000.

On some shows, particularly those produced by WGBH Boston, would feature a still version of the logo superimposed over a background unique to that show.

On 1996 reruns of Barney & Friends episodes from seasons 1-3, the CPB logo is already formed for a few seconds, before it splits into two CPB circles, and reveals "Viewers Like You". This variant also lacks the sweeping lines. A rare superimposed version of this variant's animation, using the 1991-1993 design, was used on 1991-1992 episodes of Great Performances.

Starting on November 1, 1999, the text "Thank You" follows "Viewers Like You". This is often customized for the particular show; however, on programs that use this with the standard setting, the text uses a completely different font than had been used for eight years.

The original font, however, was used on Wall Street Week episodes and Not Done: Women Remaking America.
On The Charlie Horse Music Pizza, the logo is a solid ultramarine color with "The Corporation for Public Broadcasting" and the usual byline below it in the Ad-Lib font, all against a stylized musical-oriented background.

On Club Connect, the "sweeping pink lines" and the two big circles move slower, and the text appears after the logo (in brighter colors) is formed; later, Dragon Tales uses the digitally remastered version of this slow variant.

On pledge drive programming such as The Internet Show, The Judds' Farewell Concert, and The Kennedy Center 25th Anniversary Celebration, the Viewers Like You tag used a blurry, multi-colored background.

FX/SFX: The lines and the circles sliding. Great animation.

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." The spiel varies from show to show. For example, on the revivals of Zoom, the Zoomers shout "Thanks!" instead, and the announcer for Mister Rogers' Neighborhood utters "We thank you." Some early programs originally broadcast during this period, including Not for Ourselves Alone, omit the "Thank you" entirely, and Frontline used the wording "financial support from PBS Viewers Like You" for about a decade after.

On pre-1997 episodes of Bill Nye the Science Guy, a small portion of a random hard rock/alternative song (e.g. "The Star-Spangled Banner" as performed by Jimi Hendrix) played under the voiceover.

Availability: Pretty common. 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", and on some 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 the DVD releases of the show.

The solo "Viewers Like You" variant made a surprise appearance on Not Done: Women Remaking America, broadcast on October 27, 2020.


Editor's Note: Much like the 6th logo, this is a favorite to most PBS viewers.
