When the streaks settle, the {{color|red|red}} streaks turn into the familiar "{{color|sienna|'''n'''}}" logo from the previous logos, the top {{color|steelblue|bluish gray}} streaks turn into "{{color|steelblue|'''NEBRASKA'''}}", and the bottom turns into "{{color|steelblue|'''ETV NETWORK'''}}". In the background while this happens, 2 clusters of dots run across the top of the screen and the right side, crossing each other when they first fly in, and 2 {{color|red|red}} lines streak along the bottom, delayed for a bit.

'''Availability:''' Rare. Seen on programming from the period. It can be found on several program clips from the 2004 ''NET 50th Anniversary Sampler DVD''. The latest confirmed use of this logo is on part 3 of ''Husker Century'', released in 2001 (which still turns up occasionally on Nebraska Public Media's broadcast schedule and still retains this logo as of September 2020). However, it may have been used later; a clip of ''The Canteen Spirit'' on the 50th anniversary sampler DVD has this logo, but the finished program was released in 2006, and the copy available for viewing on Nebraska Public Media's website had this plastered with the PBS HD bumper of the period. This logo was retired after the name change to NET in January 2005, but was still in use in print form and slipped in front of some shows for a time until it was eventually phased out completely. First appeared on ''All Hell Can't Stop Us''.
