PBS Kids Go!

Background
PBS Kids GO! was a block of programming created by PBS in 2004 to appeal to kids ages 6-13 as opposed to the 2-5 target audience of PBS Kids. While the block was originally successful, it was eventually far overshadowed by the other kids programming block on PBS, PBS Kids by the early 2010s, many parents stated that they either didn't know about the block or didn't know it was for older kids. The decline in popularity eventually lead to the block being discontinued in 2013.

1st Logo (October 11, 2004-September 3, 2007)
Logo/ID: Kids (wearing blue shirts) do a certain activity to make the logo appear, the logo then ends with either the kids saying "Go!" or a dog barking.

Variants:
 * Stairs: Some blocks are pushed down by a kid as he hops by them. We also see various blocks revealing other kids and a black-and-white dog (likely a Boston Terrier).
 * A variant of the stairs logo which excludes the URL
 * Button
 * A variant of the button logo which excludes the URL
 * Echo
 * Tubes

FX/SFX: Live-action kids interact with things to make the logo appear. Designed by Head Gear Animation.

Music/Sounds: A whistling kind of music with percussion and an acoustic guitar is heard in this logo throughout most, if not all, of the idents associated with the brand.

Music/Sounds Variant: At the end of one episode of DragonFlyTV, an audio variant of the button logo which uses the music of the stairs logo. This variant can be seen in this video. It is possible however, that this is an error in the episode print and not intentional.

Availability: The logo used to be very common, but has since become rare to see on TV due to most of the shows that used it either being repackaged to use different logos or removed from PBS entirely. Currently, all four logos can be seen at the end of Maya & Miguel, which still airs on the kids subchannel of the PBS station KLCS, located in Los Angeles. The logos can also be seen on Prime Video prints of ''Fetch! With Ruff Ruffman''. Check your old recordings to find this.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (September 3, 2007-January 19, 2009)
Logo/ID: Like the previous logo, kids (now wearing orange and blue shirts) do a certain activity to make the logo appear, the logo then ends with the kids saying "Go!", but this time, none of the variants (except the internet variant) end with a dog barking.

FX/SFX: Like before, live-action kids interact with things to make the logo appear, this time though, there is more detailed CGI effects and a new cast of kids. Designed by Jeffery Boortz.

Music/Sounds: Same as the 1st logo.

Music/Sounds Variant: On the Building variant, building noises are heard along with some chatter. At the end, percussion music plays with a girl saying "Go!".

Availability: Extremely rare, unlike the last logo. All shows that used this logo have either removed it or have stopped airing on PBS entirely. However, certain stations air their own recordings of episodes instead of prints nationally aired by PBS, which sometimes results in this logo being seen, but few stations still air their own recordings. If they do, they are usually from an era before or after this one. The last known time this logo was seen in full live was in late 2018. This logo can also be seen on iTunes prints of Arthur and a Prime Video print of one ''Fetch! With Ruff Ruffman'' episode. In addition, PBS station KLCS-DT2 often shows a split second of the soccer or jumping logo variants before Maya & Miguel. The jumping variant is also lost except for a split second of it recorded from a Maya & Miguel airing. Again, check your old recordings.

Editor's Note: This tends to be the set of logos people remember the most from PBS Kids GO.

3rd Logo (January 19, 2009-October 7, 2013)
Logo/ID: Just like the previous 2 logos, kids (in their different clothes) do a certain activity to make the logo appear, then the logo ends with the kids saying "Go!".

Variant: There is one where we see some kids, Arthur, Huggyface from WordGirl, and Fetch from ''Fetch! with Ruff Ruffman'' dancing on the blocks as the camera zooms in towards the PBS Kids Go! logo.

FX/SFX: Like before, live-action kids interact with things to make the logo appear, this time though, the colors are brighter, the CGI is more detailed, there are new kids and the logo is in widescreen. Designed by Primal Screen.

Music/Sounds: Same as the 1st and 2nd logos.

Music/Sounds Variants: The binoculars, Rubik's cube, block dam and lever logos all have alternate audio tracks. The block dam variant has woodblock sounds, while the dancing variant has zapping and other synth sounds.

Availability: Very rare. All shows that used this logo either no longer air or have been plastered with PBS Kids logos. However, certain episodes of Arthur and WordGirl use promos that include variants of this logo. The PBS Station WSBE is known to use old prints of SciGirls in the past that still include this logo, but it is unclear if they still do. Though SciGirls still airs on the station, no videos showing program breaks after SciGirls on WSBE have been uploaded after 2020. PBS still has broadcasting rights to ''Fetch! With Ruff Ruffman'', which wasn't edited to exclude the logo outside of the PBS Kids 24/7 channel, so it is possible that some stations could air it again and the logo would be seen, though no stations currently air it. So for the last time, you better check your old recordings.
