Sesame Workshop is the nonprofit behind Sesame Street, first launched in 1969 after the organisation began as the Children's Television Workshop in 1968. Its production logo has changed several times over the decades, and the 2008 version belongs to the era when episodes and related series circulated widely on television and early online video. Fans and editors now preserve the short ident sound separately, sharing it for nostalgia edits, logo collections and recreations of period broadcasts from childhood viewing.
