ore common than its predecessors, thanks to more and more programs switching to this logo rather than use an in-credit text.

Graduation ceremonies wouldn't begin using this logo until the next year due them using a simply in-credit notice on the year of this logo's debut. However, the 2017 Maestro en Casa Graduation did include this logo, which is where this logo made its debut.
It was also seen on some shows such as the last few episodes of Inside AISD beginning episode 2 of season 5 and SportsScene, although some don't include it such as episode 2 of season 2.

AISD in 3 August 21 episode
AISD in 3 March 23 episode

Visuals: Starting from the last shot of the episode, when the timer hits zero, it transforms into a simple, blue transparent circle with two rings outside and slides from the left. The footage, then fades to a dark animation sequence of a clock with orange and yellow hands and its lines filing to blue once the minute hand passes them. As the circle from earlier has its rings disappear, the shape itself zooms into the center of the compass. The screen then cuts to a different shot of the timer to where all of the minute lines are colored blue, changing the background to a dark tunnel with rings and lights as well as speeding up the movements of the clocks hands in which they unveil the previous logo. The tunnel rapidly zooms in with the rings leaving the screen before the background becomes black and dimly lit. Once making it to this background, the text "This has been a production of" and "©2022" fades in and deblurs letter by letter and then the channel's Twitter account, "@austinisdtv", appears with a blank app icon fading and spinning once, allowing the Twitter icon to fade in and scroll to the left and show the aforementioned account name.

Variants:

Sometimes, the logo crossfades into a final scene from the episode.
On the March 23-April 13, 2020 episodes, the copyright year is in a different font, which cheaply cuts to one in the same font as the top text.
- This was fixed on the April 20th episode from the same year and was used until the June 8, 2020 episode. Here, the copyright year in Times New Roman crossfades to the one matching the font of the top text. If one looks closely, the text can be seen inside a box.
From June 7 to August 30, 2021, a lens flare was added on the top left, slowly moving downwards.
Beginning with the January 10, 2022 episode, a different lens flare is present, this time brighter and nearly on the center of the screen as it slowly floats towards the right.

Technique: A mix of 2D and 3D animation.

Audio: The ending theme of the show while a female announcer says "Stay informed, stay intrigured, and stay entertained, with district activities by tuning in each week to AISD in 3".

Audio Variant: From March 23 to June 8, 2020, during the show's lockdown period due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the announcer's line was changed to "Stay tuned to AISD.TV and visit austinisd.org/coronavirus for the latest information regarding COVID-19's effect on Austin ISD".

Availability: Can be seen on every episode of AISD in 3.

7th Logo (March 10, 2022)

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: A generic rock tune.

Availability: Only appeared on the short Kids in Cool Shoes.
