When I was a wee kid, I recorded a Curious George holiday special on TV, coming from a local PBS Station. The recording features two idents from the station that I believe could be "lost." These idents feature music (presumably stock/licensed, gives off Buena Vista / Disney Home Video vibes) with a show's main character chilling around blocks that spell out "WXXI," alongside patterns in the background.
The Curious George ident played before the aforementioned special, with wacky music playing in the back (I think I also heard it in the Jump*start MMO's customizable house). George sits on the blocks whilst the background features paint splattering.
The Arthur ident played before an episode, after a bumper break, featuring dramatic jazz. Arthur walks away from the blocks, and the orange background has spotlights shone on it.
I don't know how many more there are of these, but these are the only ones I have.
Presumably, there are idents for:
Fetch!
WordGirl
Dinosaur Train
Cat in the Hat knows a lot about that!
Maybe one of you can dig up more of these, I require it for my nostalgic pleasure.
Hey, I remember these! We taped some of them years ago and I uploaded some too! I don’t have all of them though, so if anyone finds any more, let me know!

I don’t think there was a unique one for The Cat in the Hat. They usually played this one before it. youtu.be/2VEDMRNSCbI
I definitely remember the one for Wordgirl.
Cyberchase, and I’m pretty sure Fetch, had one too.
I’ve forgotten if Dinosaur Train had one though.
And I’ve completely forgotten there was a Barney one. I think I only saw that one a few times.
It's awesome you found these! Though the videos do raise another question. What are the names of the music used? I've also noticed that the funky music is used for Sesame Street, Martha Speaks, and the general ident. I swear I remember the Curious George music being used in the World of Jump*Start MMO, on a radio in your customizable house. If this is true, it's likely something purchased for use by many. It's late, so I can't look into music identification stuff right now, I'll be back tomorrow or so.
