''This is not the real PBS Kids, but this page is the real one. Real logos aren't allowed in any form and can be deleted on sight if you make fake reports or create real logos (e.g. the TriStar logo). For the fictionalized real company, go here.''

Background
PBS Kids is a children's programming block on PBS and 24-hour digital channel.

(2000-2001; January 21 or September 2, 2002?-2008-October 7, 2013-2021)
Nicknames: "Dot and Dash III", "The PBS Kids Bubble IV"

Logo: Variants:
 * Snow Globe: Dash is seen ice skating on a pond. Suddenly, he feels the ground shake and stops. Then, the camera pans out to reveal that he is in a snow globe, which is held by Dot. She looks at the viewer as it giggles, while the snow globe shakes as it snows. When Dot giggles, snowflakes cover the screen to transition to the circular PBS Kids logo on a light blue background, consisting with snowflakes.
 * Fish Bowl: On a lime green background, Dash looks at a goldfish in his fishbowl on a desk. Then we cut to a close-up of the fishbowl as Dash comes to the fishbowl the goldfish is in. The goldfish then gets surprised when Dash looks at him before bubbles cover the screen to transition to Dash as an fish appearing then swimming in the water as Dash imagines. After a second, he gets swallowed by Dot as a  fish. When Dot looks at the viewer, bubbles cover the screen to transition to the circular PBS Kids logo with Dot afterwards on an  background with bubbles.
 * On the CBBC British print of Martha Speaks, the Fishbowl ident is still without having the URL whatsoever like the standard or no URL variant.
 * Sometimes, as seen on most PBS Kids programming episodes, the pbskids.org URL is added at the bottom-left corner of the screen.
 * There is a prototype variant of the snow globe bumper where the color of the background is a bit darker, the pond has a slightly different shape, the animation is different and less smoother, the snowflakes are brighter and bigger, Dot is looking down instead of at the viewer and the word "KIDS" is added below the circular PBS Kids logo. This logo is seen on season 1 of Jakers! The Adventures of Piggley Winks.
 * There is a prototype version of the fish bowl bumper where it is zoomed in slightly at the beginning of the logo when Dash looks at a goldfish in his fishbowl, the close-up of the fishbowl is a bit zoomed out, the fish are slightly off the screen, the bubbles are even brighter and bigger, and the word "KIDS" is added below the circular PBS Kids logo. This logo is only seen on season 2 of Jakers! The Adventures of Piggley Winks, early 2008 episodes of Sid the Science Kid and Lomax the Hound of Music.
 * Cropped 16:9 versions exist.
 * On some PBS Kids airings of WordWorld, this logo appears to be uncropped.
 * On the Lomax DVD Lomax the Hound Of Music: The Best of Lomax, the color is different where the part of both the goldfish and  fish are a little unsaturated and the logo is a little dark.

Technique: 2D animation by Primal Screen.

Music/Sounds: Depending on the variant: Music/Sounds Variant: The Fishbowl ident uses the Snowglobe variant theme due to the plastering error, seen on PBS Kids airings (i.e WGVU airings) of most episodes of WordWorld.
 * Snow Globe: A whimsical 10-note vibraphone tune (the last 4 notes are the company's jingle, possibly spoofing C. E. Levy's "Skater's Waltz" or Joseph Martin's "Come to the Music" but in F major), accompanied by jingle bells, followed by the "doink" sound and the kids saying the company name.
 * Fish Bowl: Bubbling sounds, followed by a boy scatting the 1999 jingle but in high tone circle lipped as if to imitate a fish, followed by the "doink" sound and the kids saying the company name.
 * The company chant sounds less like singing and more like a simple yell with a girl giggling at the end. If you listen closely, you can also hear the company chant from the Dot variant of the 1999 logo. Music and sound design created by Primal Screen.

Availability: Rare. Legacy: Also a well-known and memorable logo from PBS.
