After the airings of said episodes (of which are notably not in split-screen credits like Up normally uses), the pitch of the logo got lower and lower. This might be an editing mistake on the network's part. | '''Variant:''' An odd variant of this logo was spotted on a June 17, 2017 marathon of 2012-2013 ''America's Funniest Home Videos'' episodes, on the Up network.
