'''Logo:''' Here are the main variants of this logo:

* '''Version #1:''' On a textured {{color|#0047AB|cobalt blue}}/{{color|darkviolet|purple}} background with occasional {{color|#DE6FA1|thulian pink}} comets flying past, two circles slide in and form the CPB logo above the white text: <center>{{Font|Serif|CORPORATION<br>FOR PUBLIC<br>BROADCASTING}}</center> At this point, a redesigned version of the CPB circle is now used, with a {{color|blue}} and {{color|lavender|lavender}} outline around it and in the letters. The font is also 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 "{{font|serif|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 "{{font|serif|Viewers Like You}}" text sometimes fades out earlier, so the background is shown for about one second before completely fading out.

* 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 ''John Glenn: American Hero'', the "{{font|serif|Viewers Like You}}" tag is completely static, except for fades at both ends.

* On pledge drive programming such as ''The Internet Show'', ''The Judds' Farewell Concert'', and ''The Kennedy Center 25th Anniversary Celebration'', the "{{font|serif|Viewers Like You}}" tag used a blurry, multi-colored background. This was also seen on the ''Sesame Street'' specials ''Elmo Saves Christmas'' and ''Elmopalooza''.

'''Technique:''' CGI by an unknown graphics boutique.

'''Music/Sounds/Voice-over:''' Same as the 6th logo. The voice-overs are the same as the first logo.

'''Music/Sounds/Voice-over Variants:'''

* 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 October 4, 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.

'''Availability:''' Pretty common.
