'''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 {{color|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:

'''Logo:''' Here are the main variants of this logo:

* '''Version #1:''' On a textured {{color|#0047AB|cobalt blue}}/{{color|darkviolet|purple}} background with occasional {{color|#DE6FA1|thulian pink}} comets flying past, two circles slide in and form the CPB logo above the white text: <center>{{Font|Serif|CORPORATION<br>FOR PUBLIC<br>BROADCASTING}}</center> At this point, a redesigned version of the CPB circle is now used, with a {{color|blue}} and {{color|lavender|lavender}} outline around it and in the letters. The font is also modified slightly, to ITC Garamond Light. After a few seconds, the text fades out as the logo splits into two CPB logos flying off to opposite sides of the screen so that the words "Viewers Like You" (in plain white plain serif text this time) appear in its place near the top, as more comets fly diagonally upward. For this version, the "Viewers Like You" text sometimes fades out earlier, so the background is shown for about one second before completely fading out.

'''Logo:''' On an {{color|aquamarine|aqua}} background, {{color|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 "{{color|blue|CPB.ORG}}" at the end in {{color|blue}}, which is wiped with a streak.

* For the Viewers Like You variant, the same dots appear across the screen, vertically centered, and {{color|blue}} and white rings provide the transition from the CPB slide to the "Viewers Like You" slide, and the process repeats itself for the transition from the "Viewers Like You" to the "Thank You" slide. Both the "Viewers Like You" and "Thank You" slides have the letters moving closer to the center.

'''Logo:''' On a {{color|blue}}/{{color|darkviolet|purple}}/{{color|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.

'''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 "{{color|gold|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.

* The {{color|magenta}} variant is typically used for superimposed variants, including on ''Finding Your Roots''.

* The {{color|blue}} variant appeared on ''PBS NewsHour'' until July 17, 2015, and is also used for the superimposed variant on most editions of ''Washington Week'' beginning on June 29, 2015. This premiered just a few months after its solo "Viewers Like You" counterpart, and is still used as part of the current CPB/Viewers Like You combo even after the next logo entered use.
