PBS Kids Go!

Logo descriptions and editions by Hoa, amymina5 and AlekaJ1003

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 do a certain activity to make the logo appear, the logo then ends with either the kids saying "Go!" or a dog woofing.

Variants:
 * Stairs
 * 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 is heard in this logo.

Availability: Rare, 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, but all 4 logos can still 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''.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (September 3, 2007-January 19, 2009)
Logo/ID: Like the previous logo, kids do a certain activity to make the logo appear, the logo then ends with the kids saying "Go!", but this time, none of the logos end with a dog woofing.

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: The same whistling kind of music from before is heard again in this logo.

Availability: Near extinction, if not complete extinction, 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, this sometimes results in this logo being seen, though very few stations still air their own recordings of episode, and if they do, it is 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.

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 7th, 2013)
Logo/ID: Just like the previous 2 logos, kids do a certain activity to make the logo appear, the logo then ends with the kids saying "Go!".

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: The same whistling kind of music from before is heard again in this logo.

Availability: Very rare, if not extinct, 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 which still included this logo, but it is unclear if they still do, as 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.
