The "PTV Park" variant features a playful, circus-like tune with bongos, marimba and electric piano, as well as a kid's voice saying "Hi, you're in PTV Park on." before continuing into the theme from the regular logo.Īvailability: Rare overall, but extinct on TV as a result of heavy plastering.The "Surprise!" variation just has loud party horns and cheering, in the voices of characters from PTV shows (like Big Bird and Elmo from Sesame Street.) The long versions of the "Surprise!" variation have giggling and a door creaking.Music/Sounds: A techno-pop tune with a synth-horn, drums and a bass, as well as the P-Pals singing their lines.

We head towards a periwinkle tent with a red top and a movie screen is on it (resembling old commercial tents where people used to go see movies in the 1930s) and the regular ID plays (minus the "This Is.!" part). 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 Mister Rogers' Neighborhood sets, and carnival-themed structures. There is a variant where we see a bird's-eye-view of the "PTV Park" setting, which starts with a sign that says "PTV" in its corporate font being guarded by two P-Pals named Polly and Pernell.On a 1994 episode of In the Mix, the logo looks a bit washed out, with the brightness and contrast pumped up in excess.Then, before the door opens, they say "Who are the P-Pals?" After the P-Pals yell "Surprise," they shout "The P-Pals are coming!" one last time, and one of the kids says "Watch for them!" During the above animation, some kids say "The P-Pals are coming!" various times. There is another variant of this long version, where the animation is believed to come from.Then the door opens and we proceed into the animation above. Then another P-Pal, Pete, peeks in and out from the above.

P-Pet (from the standard version) walks through the screen and into the door. The door opens and closes as one of the P-Pals, Penny, peeks in and out.

There is a long version of the "Surprise!" variant which first takes place on a black background.

This was a short-lived version and was usually played in-between shows as a promo.

There is a variation where the camera quickly goes through a doorway on a black background and the three color-changing P-heads are seen against the white background, with confetti falling from the top, and all three P-heads yell "Surprise!" and cheer with loud party horns heard in the background.

Sometimes, the logo fades out after the P-Pet barks.

There is a variation where the dog gives the first P-Pal a dark blue balloon with the text " e/i" (pronounced "ee-eye", short for "Educational and Informative") on it, which was added in 1997, a year after the 6th PBS ident debuted.

Trivia: The logo was designed and animated by Gene Mackles and Chris Pullman at WGBH Boston using Macromedia Director on Macintosh computers. Then, the word " PBS" in the same font as the 3rd PBS logo fades in as the cap drops back on its head, and an orange P-shaped dog, P-Pet, runs across the screen and barks, then walks away. Near the end, the P-Pals raise their arms in the air and the first P-Pal ad-libs "Woo-hoo-hooooo!" a la Michael Jackson as its cap flies off. The P-Pals sing, "This is! P-B-SSSSSS!" (the "P-B-SSSSSS!" part of which is done by a female choir) while dancing and changing patterns.

Logo: On a white background, we see some crudely drawn P-heads, dubbed the "P-Pals." The first of them resembles Pernell it is wearing a red cap and an earring.
