American Public Television
1st Logo
(1993-1999)
Nickname: "A Production of..."
Logo: On a maroon-colored background, we see the text:
which zooms in throughout, which also shimmers.
Variant: There is a variant which has "BOSTON" under the text.
FX: The name zooming in, the "shimmer".
Music/Sounds: None; in other cases, it uses the end theme of the show.
Availability: Seen on Bloopy's Buddies and The Big Comfy Couch episodes from the era. However, since Bloopy's Buddies doesn't reair anymore and newer prints of The Big Comfy Couch plaster this with the next logo below, it's pretty much extinct outside of tapes.
Scare Factor: Low.
2nd Logo
(1999- )
Nickname: "The Squares"
Logo: On a black background, we see two squares, one with white outlining and the other with red outlining, shifting throughout, and each one is blue with watermarks of the name on them. Then a red outline forms another square, which appears in the same color also with watermarks of the name as it finishes, with the text "American Public Television" on it.
Variant: Starting in 2002, the URL text "aptonline.org" appeared under the company's name. In more recent years, it reads "APTonline.org".
FX: The animation in the logo.
Music/Sounds: A somewhat patriotic 7-note tune with a drum crescending throughout.
Availability: It's the Sony Pictures TV of public television. Appears on many shows airing on PBS stations. It is also common on shows on the digital network Create (which APT partially owns).
Scare Factor: None.
