Corporation for Public Broadcasting: Difference between revisions

* A still version is seen on some programs.

* On some shows with the 1991-1993 variant, such as seasons 4 and 5 of ''The American Experience'' and Annenberg/CPB program ''Americas'', the text is all centered, like the later variant and the previous logo.

* Some shows just use the text, and not the circle.

* Some shows, like 1990 episodes of ''Frontline'', just use the circle, and not the text.

* On shows which feature the still version of the CPB logo, the text "Viewers Like You" is dead center and often larger.

* On some shows from 1991-1993, including episodes of ''American Experience'' and ''NOVA'', the first variant of CPB logo has a {{color|royalblue|brighter blue}} color scheme. This was often used for still or superimposed variants.

* On some shows, particularly those produced by [[WGBH|WGBH Boston]], would feature a still version of the logo superimposed over a background unique to that show.

* 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 October 4, 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 (in a slight variation) ''Not Done: Women Remaking America''.

* On ''The Charlie Horse Music Pizza'', the logo is a solid {{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 1998-2001 episodes of ''NOVA'', a bold Century Gothic font was used. On at least one or two episodes, the text is not bold.

* ''Ghostwriter'' used an animated sky background with two pinwheels forming the CPB circle. In later episodes from 1993-1995, the background was replaced with an animated {{color|aquamarine|aquamarine}} background with jacks.

* On 1999-2002 episodes of ''Reading Rainbow'', the logo takes place on a nighttime background with swirling rainbows flying around.

* On 1993 episodes of ''The Puzzle Place'', the logo (with byline) is still, then, a set of CGI puzzle pieces (the same ones that are the background for the other variant for this show) fly towards the logo, fit together, and then fly off the screen, revealing the SCE Corp funding tag. On 1996 episodes, the ''Puzzle Place'' logo is shown, then the flashing puzzle pieces in the background disappear one by one to reveal the CPB background, and as the PP logo fades out, the standard CPB animation plays.

* Local shows by Idaho Public Television consistently used a different, unique font for the main text and byline.
