=== Background ===
The National Instructional Television Library was formed in 1962, an agency funded by the U.S. Office of Education and operated by National Educational Television in New York City. NIT was founded as a way to distribute instructional television programming and associated materials to educational television studios throughout the U.S. In 1965, NIT would part ways with NET and relocate to its present home in Bloomington, Indiana, where it became the National Center for School and College Television. The NCSCT was operated by the Indiana University foundation. In 1968, the service was renamed the National Instructional Television Center. NIT would become an independent, self-supporting, non-profit organization in 1970, and would begin supplying educational programming to the newly-formed PBS, the Public Broadcasting Service, which had risen from the ashes of NIT's former operator, NET. On April 11, 1973, NIT would be incorporated into the Agency for Instructional Television. It would slightly change its name to the Agency for Instructional Technology on July 1, 1984, to reflect other uses to electronically distribute instructional material, such as via videocassette and computer. AIT closed in 2015, and its archives and corporate files have since been moved to the Indiana University Libraries' [https://media.dlib.indiana.edu/catalog?f%5Bcollection_ssim%5D%5B%5D=Agency+for+Instructional+Technology Moving Image Archive].

'''Logo:''' On a black background, multicolored states and provinces zoom out of the screen in rapid succession to form North America from the previous logo. Once they all zoom in, the familiar "'''at'''" in white zooms out from the top right of the screen, leaving a white trail. After that, the whole logo flashes and turns {{Font color|green|green}}. "'''Together'''" appears below the logo, followed by 3 dots that pop up one by one, before "'''serving education.'''" appears.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, an outline of the usual North America zooms out to the center of the screen, leaving a {{Font color|blue|blue}} light trail in the process which then retracts into the outline when the logo finishes zooming out. White outlines of the states and provinces are drawn on the map as well as an outline of Hawaii appearing below California. The states and provinces then light up in many different colors in rapid succession. A {{Font color|blue|blue}} "{{Font color|blue|'''at'''}}" (a slightly different design, although it still has the same shape) appears from the top right of the screen and zooms out northeast of the North America. The "{{Font color|blue|'''at'''}}" "shines", while the outline of North America disappears. The logo fades slightly while the text, "'''Together... Programming for Today's Learner'''" zooms out from the bottom of the screen to the middle ("'''Together...'''" wipe in instead). The "{{Font color|blue|'''at'''}}" shines again.

'''Variants:'''  
'''Variants:'''  
* On ''Geography in the U.S. History'', the outline only consists of the continental USA, Alaska (though without its islands), and Hawaii. The logo is now also higher and located closer to the center (and doesn't shine, kinda), and the text is now computer-generated in a bold Arial font. The announcer now comes in later, sounding to have a younger tone to them, and omits "and provincial" due to the obvious lack of Canada.
