Logo: We see a bird's-eye-view of the "PTV Park" setting, which starts with a sign that says "PTV" in its corporate font (notice the "P" is represented by the 1971 PBS P-Head, from the 2nd PBS logo) being guarded by 2 P-Pals named Polly and Pernell. The camera flies in under the sign so we get a good view of everything: lots of P-Pals doing their own activities, multicolored P-Pal-style drawings of the Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood sets, and carnival-themed structures. We head towards a periwinkle tent with a red top and a movie screen is on it (resembling those old commercial tents people used to go see in the 1930s) and the regular 1993-1999 PBS Kids ident plays (minus the "This Is...!" part).

Variants:

FX/SFX: The camera flying in under the PTV sign then zooming in towards the tent.

Music/Sounds: A playful circus-like tune with bongos, a marimba and an electric piano with kids saying "Hi! You're in PTV Park on..." By this point, it culminates into the rest of the regular PBS Kids jingle. The PTV Station IDs have different music, and in some cases, have announcements (such as generic ones like "You're watching KERA, channel 13" or custom to the theme of the ID, such as "You can really score when you watch KPBS San Diego.") These voiceovers are done by the voice actors of the P-Pals, like Tara Strong (Petunia, Penny) and Tress MacNeille (Priscilla). Of course, some, like those for KTCA and WGBH, for example, do not contain voice-overs at all.

Availability: Extinct. Was not seen in between shows like the Surprise ident. This was seen at the end of Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood.
