'''Logo:''' Here are the main variants of this logo:
* '''Version #1:''' On a textured {{Font color|#0047AB|cobalt blue}}/{{Font color|purple|purple}} background with occasional {{Font color|#DE6FA1|thulian pink}} comets flying past, two circles slide in and form the CPB logo above the white text: <center>{{Font|Garamond|CORPORATION<br>FOR PUBLIC<br>BROADCASTING}}</center> At this point, the font is now modified slightly, to ITC Garamond Light. After a few seconds, the text fades out as the logo splits into two CPB logos flying off to opposite sides of the screen so that the words "Viewers Like You" (in plain white plain serif text this time) appear in its place near the top, as more comets fly diagonally upward. For this version, the "Viewers Like You" text sometimes fades out earlier, so the background is shown for about one second before completely fading out.

* '''Version #2:''' Starting on March 22, 1993, the byline from the 7th logo was added under the text. At that time, the text above was arranged centered and appears earlier, before the sweeping {{Font color|pink|pink}} lines. Also, the CPB logo, smaller to make room for the byline, has a {{Font color|#4682B4|steel blue}}/{{Font color|#B784A7|opera mauve}} color scheme instead of the casual {{Font color|blue|blue}}/{{Font color|lavender|lavender}} one, which is only used on still and superimposed variants.
