Pearl and Dean (1953, youngers).png|Youngers closing variant

</gallery>

'''Logo:''' On a sky background, we see some pillars. Some text fades in at the center of the pillars, and we then begin zooming in. Once we get close, the camera stops, and the text is then revealed to say "{{Font|Times New Roman|PEARL & DEAN present}}" in yellow. The logo then fades out.

'''Variants:'''

* A version that says, "PEARL, DEAN & YOUNGERS" exists.

'''Music/Sounds:''' For the 1953-1968 variant, a rather majestic fanfare. For the 1970-1972 variant, a Latin-flavored music piece.

===2nd Logo (1968-1970)===

'''Logo:''' Two vertical lines (one green, one yellow) are made on the screen. They unfold and make the letters "P" and "D" (for Pearl and Dean). Each has a clip of someone dancing in it. They fold back again, and unfold to the "P" and "D" again, but this time with different clips. They yet again fold back, but this time, they disappear. Ten smaller lines in rows are five are made, which unfold to make the words “PEARL & DEAN” in a rather odd-looking font. Each letter has a small clip in it, but they then combine to make a large image of a car passing. When the car goes by, the smaller clips return to normal, and seven lines appear under the "PEARL & DEAN", and they unfold to read “PRESENTS”.

'''Technique:''' 2D animation and live action.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A 5/4 dance tune.

===3rd Logo (1972-July 1996)===

Pearl and Dean (1972, phone number).png|Phone number variant

{{guidance detail|reason=phone}}

* A closing version exists, with, "PEARL AND DEAN" zooming out, instead of in. The "PRESENTS" text is absent.

* Another closing version with the company's phone number underneath "PEARL AND DEAN".

* Starting in 1990, coinciding with [[Universal Pictures]] celebrates its 75th Anniversary and introduced the "90s MCA Globe" logo, the logo was given an "enhanced" look. The blue background and the black space-changing shapes are switched to videotape. The black space-changing shapes and the 1970's Pearl and Dean text zooming are using the 1990's graphics.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A 20-second piece named "Asteroid" composed by Pete Moore. A stereo mix version is introduced.

===4th Logo (1996-2011)===

Spongebob.png|SpongeBob variant

</gallery>

'''Logo:''' We see lots of colorful images of filmstrips (or at least the sprockets most of the time) moving around, constantly changing scenes, in time with the music. When that finishes, on the background of the filmstrips, the words "Pearl and Dean" appear in the middle of the screen.

'''Logo:''' This logo bears a resemblance to "Asteroid" (the third logo). On a blue background, we see filmstrips appearing from the center of the screen, and then the following text zooms up all the way from the center of the screen, in this order:

'''Music/Sounds:''' Same as the fourth logo.

===6th Logo (2011-2014)===

'''Logo:''' On a purple background, a sort of wave appears along with what looks like glitter. When that is almost off the screen, a shooting star flies on from the right of the screen, splits in two, and draws a carmine pink "&" sign. That zooms out as the words "Pearl" and "Dean" appear on either side of it. They stop in the center of the screen.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A shortened and remixed version of the Asteroid music from the fourth logo.

===7th Logo (2014-)===

'''Music/Sounds:''' Same as before. The full version of the theme from the 4th logo is used in the tie-in variants, except for the ''Bohemian Rhapsody'' variant, which has the above-mentioned Queen rendition of "Asteroid".
