* ''Sesame Street'' episodes from 1991-1992 used the "Funky Chimes" as background music, while episodes from 1992-1995 used a hip-hop instrumental based on the ''Sesame Street'' theme. Episodes from 1995-2001 used a jazzy version of the aforementioned theme.

* On <u>all ''Sesame Street'' episodes with this logo from 1991-1995</u>, the announcer (Gordon [Roscoe Orman]) says "Funding for this program was provided in part by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting... and by public television stations and their contributors." In 1991-1992 only, the "Funky Chimes" played under the voiceover; starting in November 1992, the music was a rearrangement of the '90s closing theme.

* On <u>1995-1998 episodes of ''Sesame Street''</u>, a kid (Gabi [Gabriela Rose Reagan]) says "Funding for ''Sesame Street'' was provided in part by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting... and by public television stations and their contributors." A brass-driven, jazzy rearrangement of the show's theme music played under the voiceover.

* An extended version of the 1998 PBS logo's music, albeit entirely on guitar. The music is also used on 2000-2004 episodes of ''Scientific American Frontiers'', using the "Viewers Like You" disclaimer without the CPB logo. On some programs, music relating to the program is used instead.

* For voice-overs, an announcer either says, "This program is made possible by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting" or "and by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting". This is often followed by the updated "viewers like you" and "thank you" spiel from the 7th logo.

* The ''Reading Rainbow'' variant has a weird Moog synth tune with kids claiming "WHOA!", followed by a muffled "mmmm..." when the byline forms a smile.

* The solo "Viewers Like You" variant is not known to have any music.

'''Technique:''' 2D animation.

* 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."

'''Technique:''' 2D animation.

* 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.
