PBS Satellite Service

1st Logo (July 21, 1995-September 1998)
Logo: Dark blue lights can be seen swirling and moving around over a blue aurora background. The PBS logo, seen in a similar way to the 3rd logo, sits over the lights. The logo is colored light blue with a slight tint of, it and the text are metallic and the logo reflects the aurora and the lights moving around.

Technique: 90s computer effects.

Music/Sounds:
 * Chris Murney, the same announcer as in the 5th PBS logo, says "You are watching PBS, viewer-supported public television."
 * Early on, a different male announcer says, "This is PBS, your source of quality programming on public television."

Availability: This was used between programs on PBS's satellite feed.

Legacy: This logo was a surprise discovery, largely because home recordings from the PBS satellite feed are very rare. A more recent discovery is that everything was done with dissolves in the early years of PBS Express on Schedule X.

2nd Logo (September 1998-June 30, 2000)
Logo: Against a computer-animated green sky background, the PBS circle zooms in in the center as acrobats doing various tricks appear around it.

Technique: Same as the 1998 PBS logo.

Music/Sounds: A rearrangement of the 1998 PBS logo's theme. A male voiceover says either "This is PBS" or "Supported by viewers like you, this is PBS."

3rd Logo (September 1998-June 30, 2000)
Logo: Against a computer-animated green sky background, a kaleidoscope consisting of several humans holding placards is zoomed in on, with the PBS circle in the center. The circle briefly fades out before fading back in, and the placards alternate between a random program's title card and a still from the same program throughout.

Technique: Same as the 1998 PBS logo.

Music/Sounds: A rearrangement of the 1998 PBS logo's theme. The voiceover depended on the program.
