PBS, with its 356 member stations, offers all Americans – from every walk of life – the opportunity to explore new ideas and new worlds through television and online content. Each week, PBS reaches more than 65 million people and invites them to experience the worlds of science, history, nature and public affairs; hear diverse viewpoints; and take front row seats to world-class drama and performances. PBS’ broad array of programs has been consistently honored by the industry’s most coveted award competitions. Teachers of children from pre-K through 12th grade turn to PBS for digital content and services that help bring classroom lessons to life.

Using the PBS logo on program-related product requires a trademark licensing agreement from PBS.

The PBS logo contains three elements including 1) a circle (the “Circle”) with three profi les inside (sometimes referred
to as the “everyone symbol”); 2) the letters PBS (the “word mark”); and 3) a legal registration symbol (®). These three elements combined make the logo and should always appear as one.

The Circle element of the PBS logo must measure at least .5" in diameter for print applications and 30 pixels for an online environment. Additionally, in print executions the PBS logo should be surrounded with a minimum horizontal and vertical space that equals the diameter of the Circle. Online, it should be surrounded by space equaling at least 20 pixels.

The logo must always be black and white. The logo may not have any background showing through.

For integrity, you should get the PBS logo directly from PBS.
