PBS Kids (2002-2013)

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

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

Logo: Here are the following logos:

Snow Globe: On a light blue background, we see Dash, the boy, who is seen ice skating on a pond in a snowy place with trees. 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 shaking it, who giggles. Snowflakes are seen during the circular PBS Kids logo.

Fishbowl: On a lime background, we see Dash looking at the goldfish in a fishbowl on a desk. He comes close to the fishbowl a goldfish is at, and imagines himself as an fish and swims in the water. After a second, he gets swallowed by Dot as a fish. Bubbles cover the screen to transition to the circular PBS Kids logo with Dot on it afterwards on a aquamarine background with bubbles.

Variants:


 * There is a URL version of those logos where the pbskids.org URL is added at the bottom-left corner of the screen at the end.
 * On the CBBC print of Martha Speaks, the logo is still.
 * There is a prototype variant of the snow globe bumper. For starters, the close-up of Dash ice-skating is zoomed out slightly, the color of the background is dark, the trees are indigo-purple, the pond has a slightly different shape, the animation is different and less smooth, when Dot holds a snow globe, there are no snowflakes before the logo is shown, the close-up of Dot holding a snow globe is zoomed in slightly, the snow globe is colored dark blue, Dot's eyes are looking down instead of at us, and she seems to bring the snow globe, getting more closer to her, the snowflakes are brighter and bigger, and "KIDS" is below the circular logo. This logo is only seen on season 1 of Jakers.

Trivia: This logo was animated by Primal Screen.
 * There is an accurate widescreen version of the fish bumper also has "KIDS" below the circular logo with no other changes. For starters, Dash looking at goldfish in his fishbowl is slightly zoomed in, a close-up of the fishbowl is slightly zoomed out, and the fish are slightly off the screen. This logo is only seen on season 2 of Jakers, early 2008 episodes of Sid the Science Kid and the 2008 DVD release of Lomax the Hound of Music.
 * There is a recolored version of the true widescreen version of the fish bumper where the part of the goldfish and the  fish were normal.
 * There is a Primal Screen version of the fish bumper where the bubbles background and the PBS Kids logo were zoomed in slightly at the end of the logo, but without the pbskids.org URL, but there are the same differences like the prototype version but with a new difference. The 2D animation logo was made by Primal Screen.
 * Cropped 16:9 versions exist. The versions were seen on DragonflyTV, Martha Speaks and Super WHY!.
 * PAL-speedup variants exist.

FX/SFX: Dash ice-skating, the zoom out, the snowflakes on the snow globe bumper. Dash looking in his fishbowl, the bubbles, the fish on the fish bumper. Both logos were animated by Primal Screen.

Music/Sounds: A whimsical 10-note vibraphone tune (the last 4 notes are the PBS Kids jingle, possibly spoofing C. E. Levy's "Skater's Waltz" but in F major) for the snow variant and no music for the fish variant. The fish variant has some bubbling sounds followed by a boy scatting the 1999 jingle circle lipped as if to imitate a fish. Both idents end with the doink sound and the kids saying the company name. The "PBS Kids!" chant sounds less like singing and more like a simple yell. If you listen closely, you can also hear the "PBS Kids" chant from the Dot variant of the 1999 logo. Music and sound design by Primal Screen.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * The prototype version of the fish bumper has some slightly different bubbling sounds. It ends with a slightly quiet doink sound and the kids saying the company name, but some kids chanting the company name are tiny loud.
 * Sometimes, the prototype version of the fish bumper uses the normal variant of the fish bumper's theme, which was seen on the 2008 DVD release of Lomax the Hound of Music.
 * As of 2021, it can be seen on some episodes of WordWorld on WGVU, which uses the snow globe audio.

Availability: Uncommon, bordering on rare.


 * Appeared on 2002-2013 prints of PBS Kids programming at the time. However, many of the shows it appeared on have either been replaced with newer logos or do not air on PBS anymore.
 * This logo was first seen on a Primal Screen reel featuring other PBS Kids bumpers, most of which were produced and premiered between 2000 and 2001; its first introduction on TV may have possibly been on Cyberchase or Arthur: It's Only Rock 'n' Roll.
 * Like before, the 2nd ident appears on a few Arthur DVDs by Sony Wonder (such as Arthur's Tooth).
 * The prototype variant of the snow globe bumper can be found on season 1 of Jakers.
 * The prototype version, commonly called the widescreen version of the fish bumper can be found on season 2 of Jakers, early 2008 episodes of Sid the Science Kid and the DVD release of Lomax: The Hound Of Music.
 * The widescreen version of the fish bumper can be sometimes seen on the 2008 DVD release of Lomax the Hound of Music.
 * The normal fishbowl variant was seen on the final season of Jakers.
 * The true 16:9 variant of the fish bumper is also rare.
 * Check those old tapes to find this logo, and whatever remaining appearances of this logo were likely ended when the channel rebranded its logo in July 2022.

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