Annenberg Media
Annenberg/CPB
(1981- )
Background: Annenberg/CPB was a joint venture of Annenberg Media and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
Nickname: "The Stylized A"
Logo: On a shady blue background, we see a tall upside-down "L" unfold, then a shorter upside-down "L" unfolds, and finally a trapezoid unfolds. The final result of this resembles a stylized lowercase A. A shadow of the A is seen on the base. Then a star forms the text "The Annenberg/CPB Project". After the star forms the text, the shadow disappears.
FX: The animation in the logo.
Variants:
Music/Sounds: Starts out with 3 synth notes with a "wah" effect as the "a" unfolds, then 8 higher synth notes as the star reveals the text, with the 8th note longer. An announcer would say "Funding for this program (or the name of the show) has been provided by The Annenberg/CPB Project." or "Funding for this program is provided by Annenberg/CPB. To advance excellent teaching.".
Availability: Seen at the beginning and end of PBS programs.
Scare Factor: Low to medium.

Annenberg Media
(1993- )
Logo: On a shady blue background, we see a trapezoid unfolding, then an upside-down "L" unfolds, and finally another upside-down "L" unfolds. The final result of this resembles a lowercase "a". A shadow of the "a" is seen on the base, like the first one. The animation is a lot smoother this time. Then the words ANNENBERG MEDIA fade in below. Then the whole thing disappears and is replaced by FUNDING FOR THIS PROGRAM PROVIDED BY ANNENBERG/CPB.
Music/Sounds: A piano version of the music from the 1st logo. A female announcer would say "Annenberg Media".
Availability: Plasters some old Annenberg/CPB logos, so it shouldn't be too hard to find.
Scare Factor: Low; much better than the previous logo.

FX: The animation in the logo.
Variants:
- On a videotape syndication print of "Planet Earth", there was no logo, only a white text saying "Annenberg/CPB Project" above the Planet Earth
- In the 2000's, the logo was seen with higher quality animation, the text "Annenberg/CPB" (in a different font), and the byline "Annenberg Foundation-Corporation for Public Broadcasting".
Music/Sounds: Starts out with 3 synth notes with a "wah" effect as the "a" unfolds, then 8 higher synth notes as the star reveals the text, with the 8th note longer.
