* '''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 "{{font|serif|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 "{{font|serif|Viewers Like You}}" text sometimes fades out earlier, so the background is shown for about one second before completely fading out. | * '''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.

* '''Version #2:''' Starting on March 22, 1993, a new byline "{{font|serif|'''A private corporation funded by the American people'''}}" in a condensed white Garamond font was added under the text. At that time, the text above was arranged centered and appears earlier, before the sweeping {{color|pink}} lines. Also, the CPB logo, smaller to make room for the byline, has a {{color|#4682B4|steel blue}}/{{color|#B784A7|opera mauve}} color scheme instead of the casual {{color|blue}}/{{color|lavender|lavender}} one, which is only used on still and superimposed variants. | * '''Version #2:''' Starting on March 22, 1993, a new byline "{{font|serif|'''A private corporation funded by the American people'''}}" in a condensed white Garamond font was added under the text.

* Starting on October 4, 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 (in a slight variation) ''Not Done: Women Remaking America''. | * Starting on October 4, 1999, the text "Thank You" follows "Viewers Like You".
