Audio: Typically none. As a closing logo, a child can be heard saying "Produced in association with the National Science Foundation." As a funding credit, a voiceover announces the company name, sometimes with the tagline "Supporting education and research in science, mathematics, and technology" or a variation thereof such as, on post-1998 broadcasts of Reading Rainbow, "Supporting programs that enable children to succeed in science, mathematics, and technology".
Availability: As a closing logo, it's seen at the end of the syndicated version of Bill Nye the Science Guy (the PBS broadcast version instead uses an in-credit notice for Walt Disney Television). As a sponsor tag, it appears on Reading Rainbow, 3-2-1 Contact, Square One TV, and some other programs of the timeframe, mainly dealing with science.

The circle from before appears and flashes, forming the 1993 logo.
Technique: CGI.

This time however, the tagline used is "America's investment in the future"; however, on occasion the previous tagline is used instead or in conjunction; if the latter, the combined tagline is spoken as "Supporting education and research in science, mathematics, and technology.
