Growing up, my PBS station had these really cute bumpers that were made specifically for the station (I remember being saddened to learn that others didn’t have them.)
Here’s what I’m talking about:

These debuted in I believe September of 1999 and were apparently retired in September of 2006. Most of these are online at this point, but there are still a few that are missing. There’s one with the turtle eating some plants that would always air between ZOOM and Dragon Tales in early 2000; I have the first few seconds of it on tape, but not the entire thing unfortunately. There was also one of the caterpillar bouncing on leaves at opposite sides of the screen. Another (which I don’t remember) featured the snail on a pond plant. I also want to say there was one underwater with the fish (not the sneezing one that’s online).
I love these bumpers and am so happy that they’re finally available again, after years of being lost, and that people who didn’t grow up with KCTS in the early 2000’s can finally experience them. So hopefully the few lost ones get found.
