'''Logo:''' On a black background, we see several 1940's-like buildings, all arranged haphazardly and titled at various angles. A much taller building emerges from the center, as the rest of them align to become upright. The tallest one's top flashes and a beacon's light emerges from it, as a box draws itself around the buildings. "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''BEACON'''}}" zooms out and flashes under the box, then dims.


'''Variant:''' A enhanced short version exists on the failed pilot of the US version of ''NY-LON'', ''Castle'' and ''Agent X''. The beacon light is missing as the text zooms out, and then it slowly wipes in.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A rising synth note not unlike [[THX]]'s Deep Note, followed by a "shining" sound effect when the beacon lights, then a piano chord, then a choir. Sometimes, the opening theme of the movie (or the closing theme of the show) is heard or even silence.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, the same buildings from before can be seen, but expanded out into a full city, as well as some mountain peeks to the right of it. The top of the tallest building flashes and a large spotlight emerges, which then fades to a simple beam. A box then wipes in downwards around the city, and "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''BEACON'''}}" in the same font, but spaced out to fit the logo, zooms out as a ghostly white color first before fading to a solid color. It then flashes.

'''Variants:'''
* On an Australian airing of ''Princess Caraboo'' (which is seen with the 2nd [[Roadshow Television]] logo) and most prints of ''Playing God'', a (.*) variant exists, which has a much longer animation. It starts off with a close up of a filmreel's edge, which scrolls to the right. It then pans away from the square, revealing it to be a tall white skyscraper, and the camera zooms out to reveal the city skyline from the regular version. The building then illuminates its beacon, revealing the mountains, and a box fades in around it, with "BEACON" in a white box and a byline reading "{{Font|Times New Roman|AN ASCENT ENTERTAINMENT GROUP COMPANY}}" below it.
