'''Nickname:''' "The Shining Arc" | |||
'''Logo:''' We see a white screen, which condenses into a lens flare which curves along a {{Font color|green|green}} planet on a {{Font color|dodgerblue|light blue}} background. The word "{{Font|Times New Roman|PEARSON}}" zooms out, the background turns {{Font color|navy|navy blue}}, and the planet shrinks into a small arc. "{{Font|Times New Roman|PEARSON}}" settles itself above the arc, and a streak below the arc brings forth either "TELEVISION" or "TELEVISION INTERNATIONAL". As the lens flare moves, it shines brightly, then towards the left, it shines again and turns into a star. | |||
'''Variants:''' | |||
* "Distributed By" may appear on either the normal or international variants if Pearson was distributing the program. | * "Distributed By" may appear on either the normal or international variants if Pearson was distributing the program. | ||

'''FX/SFX:''' The lens flare. | |||
'''Music/Sounds:''' A synth-orchestra fanfare riddled with bells and shining sounds, which can be in low tone sometimes. On some shows, they use the ending theme. Towards the end of its run, CBS used a generic saxophone/ synth theme on broadcasts of ''The Price is Right.'' | |||
'''Availability:''' Rare. | |||
