'''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.

'''Variants:'''  
'''Variant:''' From 1996 to the early 2000s, the text was different and faded in instead of jumping back onto the screen.
* There is a ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' variant of this. The normal filmstrip plays but it also has SpongeBob SquarePants singing the tune. Then when the logo finishes the "Pearl & Dean" text is missing and the logo zooms out (which had the pictures of various Nickelodeon shows when it zooming out) to reveal the Nickelodeon 'splat' logo and the phrase "Enjoy the Film". SpongeBob then appears one last time doing his signature laugh.

'''Music/Sound Variants:''' On the ''SpongeBob'' variant, Gary (voiced by Tom Kenny) meows then SpongeBob (also voiced by Kenny) says "Quiet Gary, it's starting!". He then proceeds to sing the Asteroid theme. Then when the logo zooms out to the Nickelodeon splat a THX-like synth note is interrupted by SpongeBob's laugh.

'''Variant:''' Pearl & Dean has done various promotional tie-ins with movies over the years, including ''Jurassic World'', ''The Good Dinosaur'', ''UglyDolls'' and others. However, the most "special" variation is the one made for ''Bohemian Rhapsody'', with a rendition of their famous theme done by Queen themselves. The logo is extended to fit with the full theme, and the logo at the end is replaced with the Queen symbol, with "PEARL & QUEEN" below it, in the Queen logo's font.
