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, WLIW.

(May 13, 2009, February 22, 2010-March 27, 2022)
Logo:
 *  May 13, 2009-February 21, 2010:  We see the footage of Manhattan at night. A line draws itself next to the moon, 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 in the Gotham typeface. After the animation is done, "WNET.ORG" fades in above "THIRTEEN".
 *  February 22, 2010-2012:  "WNET.ORG" is there before "THIRTEEN". There's also a different background of dusk sky, with the Empire State Building.
 *  Late 2011-2022:  Instead of "WNET.ORG", only "WNET" appears. As a result, the "i" animation is no longer used.

Variants:
 * On Worldfocus, Firing Line with Margaret Hoover, and PBS Newshour Weekend, "CREATIVE NEWS GROUP" appears in place of "THIRTEEN". Until Late 2011, the logo is also slightly panned to the right.
 * Sometimes, as seen on episodes of Live from Lincoln Center, the text "WNET" only appears, which makes up the corporative logo.
 * On WLIW-produced programs, such as Front and Center, "WLIW21" appears in place of "THIRTEEN".
 * On Sprout and Sprout Channel Cubby prints of Angelina Ballerina: The Next Steps, an extremely rare variant of the logo exists: the logo has been edited where the logo starts after the lights disappeared, using slower animation, with the text "THIRTEEN" only and "WNET.ORG" has been covered with a dusk sky gradient-colored part to fit the text. On TV, you can see the first frame for the logo that says "WNET.ORG" at the upper-right half of the screen. Another one exists where it is massive rare, with only the footage of New York City buildings.

Technique: Live action, with motion-controlled animation for the text.

Music/Sounds:
 * 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. Sometimes extended with a piano note at the end.

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 Bob the Builder: Ready, Steady, Build and Angelina Ballerina: The Next Steps, (animated in Taiwan) and PBS airings of Barney & Friends and Thomas and Friends (DVDs and Sprout airings remove 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).
 * The Sprout airing variant is extremely rare and can be found on Sprout airings of Angelina Ballerina: The Next Steps. Also occurs on Sprout Channel Cubby prints.
 * 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.
