Background: WNET.ORG is the name of the organization that holds the licenses of WNET and its sister station on Long Island, WLIW.

Logo: We see the skyline of Manhattan at night. A line draws itself next to the moon, and spins several times and stops by forming a lowercase "i". "TH" slides out of the left side of the "I" and "RTEEN" slides out of the right side of the "I". All of the text is in the Gotham typeface. When that is done, "WNET.ORG" appears above "THIRTEEN".

Variant:
- On Worldfocus, Firing Line with Margaret Hoover, and PBS NewsHour Weekend, "CREATIVE NEWS GROUP" appears in place of "THIRTEEN".
- Since 2012, instead of "WNET.ORG", only "WNET" appears. As a result, the "i" animation is no longer used.
- Sometimes, as seen on episodes of Live from Lincoln Center, "THIRTEEN" doesn't appear at all.
- On WLIW-produced programs, such as Front and Center, "WLIW21" appears in place of "THIRTEEN".

FX/SFX: The light shining forming the words, the live-action scenery.

Music/Sounds: The 2006 music from WNET.

Availability: Current. Can be seen on American Masters, Tavis Smiley, PBS NewsHour Weekend, Nature, Great Performances, Charlie Rose, Charlie Rose: The Week (though no logo appears at all on most editions beginning December 18, 2015), and current episodes of Cyberchase. The original variant made its last appearance on a rebroadcast of the Nature episode "Invasion of the Giant Pythons", though it's also seen on PBS airings of Thomas and Friends (DVDs and Sprout airings do not have this logo).

Scare Factor: None.
