There's a site I frequent frequently, right here:
http://www.thirteen.org/cyberchasenews/
Of course.
But I've never had the time to, and when I do have the time I forget, to really do anything fun with this palce.
Such as update the NF blog with real news, or use the many images and PDFs for fun things.
Well, if one scrolls down to the GRAPHICS section, they will find a Zip file they should already know about, followed by a page I myself never knew about until today!
The PDF is here:

In case the link doesn't work, read the following: (but it's more fun to read it as the official pdf)
CYBERCHASE
Character Artwork & Usage Guidelines
The following CYBERCHASE guidelines apply to all mediums.
Any and all CYBERCHASE images and their uses must be approved by Thirteen/WNET Educational Broadcasting Corporation. This approval
includes but is not limited to character selection, pose/action, scaling, cropping, color reproduction, silhouetting, character size proportions relative to one another, etc. Character likenesses and names must be accompanied by all necessary copyright information.
The PBS KIDS GO! logo must always appear to the top left of the CYBERCHASE logo or the CYBERCHASE: The Chase is On! logo. These logos can be found in the “Logos” folder of the Mini Style Guide.
Do use the CYBERCHASE The Chase is On! logo on any promotional or educational materials created for the exhibit. This logo can be found in the Mini Style Guide in the “Logos” folder.
Do make sure that the TM mark always appears with the CYBERCHASE logo and do make sure that the SM mark always appears with the PBS KIDS GO! logo.
Do keep Good Guys and Bad Guys separate, or you can show them together in confrontational poses. For a list of Good Guys and Bad Guys, see folders named accordingly in the Character Art Folder.
Do keep animated characters in proportion to one another by using the Size Reference Chart in the Character Art Folder
Do not alter the size proportions of the CYBERCHASE For Real characters Harry and Bianca to make one of them appear larger than the other.
Do not crop character art or photographs of the live action characters or use cropped character art or photographs in a way that makes them appear to be “cut in half” or floating in space. Solutions could include placing the character in a shape, having character appear as if he or she is popping up from behind something, etc.
Do not show two out of three of our main characters: Jackie, Matt and Inez. It is okay to picture only one character in a design but please do not show two, leaving one of the characters out.
Do not create artwork for any purpose that shows For Real characters Harry and Bianca without the animated main characters.
Do not represent the characters as endorsing or pitching any product, or promoting other programming in any way.
Do not show characters holding or gesturing toward any product or logo other than the CYBERCHASE logo or the CYBERCHASE: The Chase is On! logo.
Do not position CYBERCHASE characters with non-CYBERCHASE characters except when approved for specific circumstances, such as catalogs, cross-promotions, etc. If approved, our characters must clearly be separate from other characters.
Do not alter art and photography of the characters unless otherwise directed or approved.
Do not crop any of the “scenes” or “signage” files. These files must be used in their entirety.
Do use the jpg file titled “Generic Series Background” for any background imagery needed. This file can be found in the “Signage” folder of the Mini Style Guide.
In the news page, just above that you will find a Zip file, which will enable you to violate each of these guidelines in very specific ways.
To be downloaded.
With images such as these.
Oh what fun, what fun. Except that some of the images in the zip file don't work when you want to see them
I would be stating each term and violating it right now for you if it wasn't for school.
Still, these images would be good for finally creating a logo. I just never could get around to it.
