'''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 2009 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''.
'''Availability:''' For most of its lifespan, this logo was essentially the public television equivalent of the 1st [[Sony Pictures Television]] logo.

'''Availability:''' Seen on current prints of APT's archival programming such as ''Mr. Bean'' and ''The Joy of Painting'', and newer (episodes of) APT shows such as ''WORLDFOCUS'' and ''Nightly Business Report'', among others. The version with the older fanfare can be seen at the end of ''Doc Martin'', ''Midsomer Murders'', ''Mystery Science Theater 3000'', ''Royalty Close-Up'', ''A Daring Journey: From Immigration to Education'', ''The Reformation: This Changed Everything'', ''Free to Rock'', ''Fit 2 Stitch'' (previously distributed by [[NETA Program Service]]), and a series of 78 movies licensed from [[20th Century Studios]], [[Warner Bros. Pictures|Warner Bros.]], [[Paramount Pictures]], and [[Sony Pictures Television]] (though the telefilm ''Doc Martin and the Legend of the Cloutie'' uses the later fanfare). The still version can be seen on ''Ruby's Studio'' on the now-defunct Qubo Channel.
