WNET.ORG Thirteen

Background
WNET.ORG Thirteen is the name of the organization that holds the licenses of WNET and its sister station on Long Island, WLIW21.

(May 13, 2009-March 27, 2022)
Nicknames: "Manhattan Skyline", "Painter Logo"

Logo: Variants: FX/SFX: The light shining forming the words, the live-action scenery.
 *  May 13, 2009-February 21, 2010:  We see the footage of Manhattan in New York City. A line draws itself next to the dot, and spins several times and stops by forming a lowercase "i". "TH" slides out of the left side of the "I" and "RTEEN" slides out of the right side of the "I". All the text is in the Gotham typeface. After that is done, "WNET.ORG" appears above "THIRTEEN".
 *  February 22, 2010-2011:  "WNET.ORG" is there before "THIRTEEN". There's also a different New York City footage.
 *  2011-2022:  Instead of "WNET.ORG", only "WNET" appears. As a result, the "i" animation is no longer used.
 * On Worldfocus, Firing Line with Margaret Hoover, and PBS NewsHour Weekend or PBS NewsHour, "CREATIVE NEWS GROUP" appears in place of "THIRTEEN".
 * Sometimes, there is no text "THIRTEEN". As a result, only "WNET" appears.
 * On WLIW-produced programs including Front and Center, "WLIW21" appears in place of "THIRTEEN".
 * On possibly Sprout airings of the 2009-2010 Angelina Ballerina revival, the text "THIRTEEN" was shown and there is no "WNET.ORG" at all, (if they made a mistake a little bit, you can still see the text "WNET.ORG" and the light forming the words) but you can still see the dot in the logo.
 * A very rare videotaped version of the 2012 variant exists on a bootleg VHS recording of a January 2013 KTCA airing of Nature.

Music/Sounds: Music/Sounds Variant: Sometimes, it's extended with a piano note at the end.
 * May 13, 2009-February 21, 2010: A re-orchestration of the 2006 logo's theme was used a few times.
 * 2009-2022: A gracious 4-note orchestra tune composed by Niccolo Athens.

Music/Sounds Trivia: You can watch a video of Athens conducting this logo's theme, as well as other themes used in WNET's local bumpers of the time.

Availability: Common. This logo still appears on most new programs, mainly in prime time.
 * Can be seen on American Masters, Tavis Smiley, PBS News Hour Weekend, Nature, Great Performances, Charlie Rose, Charlie Rose: The Week (though no logo appears at all on most editions beginning December 18, 2015), and Cyberchase.
 * The original variant made its last appearance on a rebroadcast of the Nature episode "Invasion of the Giant Pythons".
 * Also shown up on Los Angeles-animated shows such as Bob the Builder: Ready, Steady, Build and the 2009-2010 Angelina Ballerina revival, (animated in Taiwan) (Sprout airings of the Angelina Ballerina revival have this logo with only the "THIRTEEN" text) and PBS airings of Barney & Friends and Thomas and Friends (DVDs and Sprout airings (as well as international prints along with maybe Nick Jr. airings) do not usually have this logo. Also, on PBS airings of the former, the logo appears after the HiT logo instead of before it, since no other company, not even Nitrogen Studios, produced it).
 * Its last appearance was on the March 27, 2022 edition of PBS NewsHour Weekend, which was also its last to be produced before moving to WETA.
