* On ''Reading Rainbow'' and some prints of ''Dragon Tales'', the {{Font color|blue|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 {{Font color|blue|blue}}, and not all capitalized) fades in at the bottom and forms a smile. Sometimes, the text may not smile.

'''Music/Sounds/Voice-over:''' The music consists of a futuristic synth tune as the dots appear, followed by a woodwind note as the CPB logo wipes in. This is followed by an updated version of the 1996 PBS logo's music, performed on brass. (This version is also used for the actual PBS logo on Beyond the Color Line.) The VOs are the same as the 8th logo.

Availability: May appear on PBS programs from 2000-2015 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.

Nickname: "CPB in a Square II"
'''Variants:'''
* A widescreen variant is introduced in 2005. In this version, the byline and URL are slightly altered.
* Starting in 2007, the background and the logo were graphically enhanced, with the {{Font color|silver|silver}} tinted CPB logo with a shine instead of white. The byline and URL were altered in the same {{Font color|silver|silver}} and shine color as on the CPB square logo. The wiping in of the logo is quicker. Its then followed by the letters "Viewers Like You" and "Thank You" in the same {{Font color|silver|silver}} and shine color as seen on the CPB logo.
* On several shows like ''Washington Week'' (where this specific animation persisted until at least 2011) and ''Sid the Science Kid'' (which features only the CPB square wiping in), the animation (or simply a still version) of the logo is superimposed.
* On ''A Place of Our Own'', the logo is black.
* On current episodes of ''NOVA'' and 2010 episodes of ''Fetch! with Ruff Ruffman'', the logo features a {{Font color|royalblue|royal blue}} line sweeping by.
* On 2000s and 2010s episodes of ''Frontline'', "Viewers Like You" and "Thank You" are both shown at the very start of the funding credits, immediately before this logo.
* Sometimes, the company name is shown. This was seen on ''The National Parks: America's Best Idea'', ''Independent Lens'', and later episodes of ''American Experience'', among other programs.


Logo: On a blue/purple/red ethereal background with silhouettes of random people doing various things, the CPB logo wipes in horizontally (first with the dots, then the text), and the byline from the 10th logo appears. During all of this, the PBS P-Head (the 1989 PBS logo's size) is shown in the background, moving up and down, left and right, etc.
'''FX/SFX:''' The wiping in of the CPB logo.


Variants:
'''Music/Sounds/Voice-over:''' Several variations of the 2002 PBS logo's music have been used so far. The voiceover is the same as the 8th logo.
A widescreen variant is introduced in 2005. In this version, the byline and URL are slightly altered.
Starting in 2007, the background and the logo were graphically enhanced, with the silver tinted CPB logo with a shine instead of white. The byline and URL were altered in the same silver and shine color as on the CPB square logo. The wiping in of the logo is quickly. Then, followed by the letters "Viewers Like You" and "Thank You" in same silver and shine color as heard on the CPB logo.
On several shows like Washington Week (where this specific animation persisted until at least 2011) and Sid the Science Kid (which features only the CPB square wiping in), the animation (or simply a still version) of the logo is superimposed.
On A Place of Our Own, the logo is black.
On current episodes of NOVA and 2010 episodes of Fetch! with Ruff Ruffman, the logo features a royal blue line sweeping by.
On 2000s and 2010s episodes of Frontline, "Viewers Like You" and "Thank You" are both shown at the very start of the funding credits, immediately before this logo.
Sometimes, the company name is shown. This was seen on The National Parks: America's Best Idea, Independent Lens, and later episodes of American Experience, among other programs.

Music/Sounds/Voice-over: Several variations of the 2002 PBS logo's music have been used so far. The VO is the same as the 8th logo.
'''Music/Sounds/Voice-over Variants:'''
* When the CPB logo is shown by itself, either the program's custom funding credits music or the music played on the "Mother and Daughter" variant of the 2002 PBS logo is used.
* Due to the aforementioned unusual funding arrangement, the voiceover on ''Frontline'' goes "''Frontline'' is made possible by contributions to your PBS station from Viewers Like You–thank you!–and by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting."


Music/Sounds/Voice-over Variants:
'''Availability:''' Common.

* Should be preserved on 2002-2019 PBS programs funded by CPB if your station has older prints. Its last appearance was on a 2019 episode of ''Wild Kratts''.
Due to the aforementioned unusual funding arrangement, the voiceover on Frontline goes "Frontline is made possible by contributions to your PBS station from Viewers Like You–thank you!–and by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting."
* The fully-animated version continued to appear superimposed on [[WETA]] programs such as ''Washington Week'' and ''In Performance at the White House'' until at least 2013.
* The "Viewers Like You" portion surprisingly reappeared on recent rebroadcasts of ''The Adirondacks''.

=== 12th Logo (March 24, 2010-November 2019) ===


'''Nicknames:''' "CPB in a Square III", "Colorful CPB"


'''Logo:''' On the 2009 PBS logo's bubble background, the CPB logo in white appears via bubbles forming the square while the text zooms out, and the byline from the 10th and 11th logos appears. Then, "Viewers Like You" wipes in left to right, in the PBS Explorer font (similar in style to Interstate). "Viewers Like" is white, and "{{Font color|yellow|You}}" is yellow within a dark rectangle. After a few seconds, "Viewers Like" wipes out right to left and is replaced by "Thank", with "You" shifting to the left to ensure centering just as quickly.

'''Variants:'''
(March 24, 2010-November 2019)
* On ''Washington Week'' (on which it started appearing as early as 2011) and some other programs, including ''PBS NewsHour'' beginning with the July 20, 2015 edition, the third season of ''Finding Your Roots'', ''In Performance at the White House'', ''Library of Congress Gershwin Prize'', ''The Civil War'', and ''Jazz'', the whole animation is superimposed.
** Programs not funded by CPB which use this variant, mainly British programs, include ''Call the Midwife'', ''PBS Arts Fall Festival'', ''Pioneers of Television'', and the respective first seasons of ''Vicious'' and ''The Great British Baking Show'' (and also the third season of the latter).
* Starting on October 7, 2013, the company name, aligned to the left and in ITC Avant Garde Gothic, appears below the square, and the byline, in the same font, is a single line of text, without the URL.
** However, ''Washington Week'' continued to use the earlier variant until June 26, 2015, though it made surprise appearances at the end of some editions from November 6, 2015 to January or February 2016, and also on ''America After Charleston''.
* On ''Ready Jet Go!'', the 2015 variant's byline is in a more digital font.
* Sometimes, as seen on ''Arthur'' and ''American Masters'', the 2015 variant appears inside of a white rectangle.
* On ''Tavis Smiley'', the CPB logo didn't appear. Instead, the bubble background was shown animating by itself before the "Viewers Like You/Thank You" animation played.
* On other programs that used this animation with the standard background but weren't funded by CPB, snippets of the Guitarist, Doodling Pad, Generations, Spacesuit, and Stargazing variants of the 2009 PBS logo were shown before transitioning to the standard animation with the bubble background, around the point where the "Viewers Like You/Thank You" animation starts playing. This was actually the first variant of this logo, and premiered a few months before the standard CPB/VLY version.
* On ''Summer, Surf & Beach Music We Love'', the above variant instead wipes to a custom background, with "VIEWERS LIKE YOU" appearing on an airplane banner and "THANK YOU" appearing directly underneath.
* On ''Josh Groban: Bridges in Concert from Madison Square Garden'', the solo "Viewers Like YOU" variant is zoomed in heavily for some reason.
* On ''The Contenders: 16 for '16'' and ''The Vietnam War'', the 2015 variant has the byline on two lines once more.
* On occasion, the original variant has been shown against a black background.

'''Music/Sounds/Voice-over Variants:'''
* As with the previous logo, ''Frontline'' used a variant reversing the CPB and "Viewers Like You" credits.
* ''NOVA'', in referring to public television viewers, had its shortened announcement say, "...and by PBS viewers like you. Thank you." Some episodes, however, used the standard full voiceover until the 2015 variant was introduced.
* On most programs funded by public television viewers but not CPB, including pledge drive specials and pre-2014 DVD and Blu-ray releases of ''Masterpiece'', the "Viewers Like You" voiceover said, "Explore new worlds and new ideas through programs like this, made available for everyone through contributions to your PBS station from viewers like you.
