Typography:  Custom wordmark

Launched:  November 13th 2013

The logo was slightly modified in 2009, which was an alternate version of the 2005 logo without the "PBS Kids" logotype in the green flower. The previous logo was still used as an on-screen bug. Following Comcast's purchase of NBCUniversal, PBS, Sesame Workshop, and HiT Entertainment divested the channel, leaving NBCU to reach full ownership of the channel in 2013. Sprout used to be Universal Kids' preschool block until January 2018, when the block was renamed as Universal Kids Preschool.
