On Reading Rainbow and some prints of Dragon Tales, the blue dots bounce off the bottom of the screen, then onto the middle and form the CPB logo. The URL slides in to the top left of the screen. Then, the byline (which is now in a straight line, in blue, and not all capitalized) fades in at the bottom and forms a smile. Sometimes, the text may not smile.

On 2005-2007 episodes of Great Performances, the logo looks more like a rectangle, apparently due to some sloppy digital manipulation.

Availability: May appear on PBS programs from 2001-2006 if your station has older prints. Also seen on a few PBS Home Video tapes of the era. While the superimposed variants are more common, the blue dots version is close to being rare, only being known to appear on home video on America Rebuilds: A Year at Ground Zero, although the Reading Rainbow variant can be easily found on current DVD releases of the show. The PBS Kids variants can currently be found on Super Why!, Clifford the Big Red Dog, while Sesame Street continued to carry the centered version of the CPB logo until 2014. This is plastered by the 12th logo on current broadcast prints of Jazz, though most episodes retain this logo on their streaming counterparts.

Editor's Note: It should be said that despite the shape change, the "cpb" text looks even more like the Chuck Barris logo.

Availability: Current. Should be preserved on 2002-2010 PBS programs funded by CPB if your station has older prints.

Its last known appearance was on a rebroadcast ofThe Statue of Liberty. The "Viewers Like You" portion surprisingly reappeared on recent rebroadcasts of The Adirondacks.
