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. | ||
* '''Version #2:''' Starting on March 22, 1993, a new byline reading "{{font|serif|'''A private corporation funded by the American people'''}}" in a condensed white Garamond font was added under the text. At that time, the text above was arranged centered and appears earlier, before the sweeping {{color|hotpink|pink}} lines. Also, the CPB logo, smaller to make room for the byline, has a {{color|#4682B4|steel blue}}/{{color|#B784A7|opera mauve}} color scheme instead of the casual | * '''Version #2:''' Starting on March 22, 1993, a new byline reading "{{font|serif|'''A private corporation funded by the American people'''}}" in a condensed white Garamond font was added under the text.

The rings then form the CPB logo, redesigned again with smoother text and is now in a square. The "p" and "b" are connected to the edge of the square. The white then fades out inside the text and 4 streaks run along the edges. The same byline appears underneath in all capitals, but with "{{color|blue|CPB.ORG}}" at the end in blue, which is wiped with a streak. | ||

Both the "Viewers Like You" and "Thank You" slides have the letters moving closer to the center. | ||
