Instead of a superimposed Google logo, the Google funding commercial appears, followed by the funding IDs for the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) and the National Science Foundation (the 1990s "America's Investment in the Future" one), then the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and "Viewers Like You"/"Thank You" tags and finally PBS's then-current version of their "Be more" campaign appears. Only time will tell if this version will resurface.
