* On 1997-1998 reruns of ''Barney & Friends'' episodes from seasons 1-3, the CPB logo is already formed for a few seconds, before it splits into two CPB circles, and reveals "Viewers Like You". This variant also lacks the sweeping lines. A rare superimposed version of this variant's animation, using the 1991-1993 graphics, was used on 1991-1992 episodes of ''Great Performances''.

* Starting on November 1, 1999, the text "Thank You" follows "Viewers Like You". This is often customized for the particular show; however, on programs that use this with the standard setting, the text uses a completely different font than had been used for eight years. The original font, however, was used on ''Wall Street Week'' episodes and ''Not Done: Women Remaking America''.

* On ''The Charlie Horse Music Pizza'', the logo is a solid {{Font color|#120A8F|ultramarine}} color with "The Corporation for Public Broadcasting" and the usual byline below it in the Ad-Lib font, all against a stylized musical-oriented background.

* On ''Club Connect'', there are more sweeping {{Font color|pink|pink}} lines, the two big circles move slower, and the text appears after the logo (in brighter colors) is formed. Unlike most uses of the logo, this particular variant has an accompanying soundtrack. A silent version of this variant was also used on season 1 episodes of ''Dragon Tales''.

* On 1998-2000 episodes of ''Sesame Street'', Gordon says "Funding for ''Sesame Street'' is provided by the annual financial support of PBS Viewers Like You." The music was the same as before.

* Sometimes, for example, on 1989-1991 episodes of NOVA, 1989-1999 episodes of ''Frontline'', and 1989-1996 episodes of ''Nightly Business Report'' (the latter only at the end), the announcer says, "...the [annual] financial support of viewers like you", even though "Public Television Viewers" is shown on the screen.

* Starting on November 1, 1999, the "viewers like you" spiel is changed to "Contributions to your PBS station from viewers like you (or, in the case of such programs as ''Sesame Street'', ''Masterpiece'', and ''PBS Arts Fall Festival'', "...and viewers like you.") Thank you."

** The spiel varies from show to show. For example, on the revivals of ''Zoom'', the Zoomers shout "Thanks!" instead, and the announcer for ''Mister Rogers' Neighborhood'' utters "We thank you." Some early programs originally broadcast during this period, including ''Not for Ourselves Alone'', omit the "Thank you" entirely, and ''Frontline'' used the wording "financial support from PBS Viewers Like You" for about a decade after.

* On pre-1997 episodes of ''Bill Nye the Science Guy'', a small portion of a random hard rock/alternative song (e.g. "The Star-Spangled Banner" as performed by Jimi Hendrix) played under the voiceover.
