'''Availability:''' It was tacked onto the end of practically every program APT distributed during the period, such as ''The Saddle Club'' and ''A Place of Our Own'', as well as shows on independent public TV stations such as 2010-2019 KCET and on the digital broadcast network Create (which APT partially owns). With the logo ending in 2008 and being replaced by the 2nd logo, its presence has dipped down, but it can still be found on older prints of APT programs. It made an appearance on the 2010 documentary ''Greece: Quest For the Gods''. Though APT normally doesn't show its logos at the end of ''The McLaughlin Group'', this appeared on a 2009 episode thereof. The original 1999 variant strangely appears before the 1993 [[Connecticut Public Television]] logo on a 2014 episode of ''Scully: The World Show''. It's also seen on the [[PBS Kids]] specials ''Barney's Great Adventure'' (originally a theatrical feature released by [[PolyGram Filmed Entertainment|PolyGram Films]]), ''VeggieTales: The Star of Christmas'', and ''VeggieTales: Duke and the Great Pie War''.
