'''Logo:''' Over a {{color|purple|violet}} space background with lots of stars, we see tons of thin light rays in shades of {{color|blue}} and {{color|lime|green}} coming from a source of light in the center, as an {{color|deepskyblue|azure}} star comes out from the source of light and flies up and the words "{{color|deepskyblue|'''''{{Big|K}}ING'''''}}" and "{{color|deepskyblue|'''''{{Big|W}}ORLD'''''}}" (in the same color of the star) in Boost SSi Italic, slide in from the left and the right, respectively, as the entire logo begins to zoom out. The star moves to the bottom of the "{{color|deepskyblue|'''''{{Big|W}}'''''}}" in "{{color|deepskyblue|'''''{{Big|W}}ORLD'''''}}", then a set of 3 {{color|blue}} bars start forming below the star and the "{{color|deepskyblue|'''''{{Big|W}}'''''}}", eventually extending through the length of "{{color|deepskyblue|'''''{{Big|K}}ING{{Big|W}}ORLD'''''}}" and being perfectly positioned with the ends as the stars fade out. The logo shines in the end.

* 1989-1990: {{color|cornflowerblue|Pale cerulean}} in-credit King World logo.

'''Music/Sounds:''' An orchestral fanfare that starts out with an ascending roll-up, then a 4-note tune ending in an orchestral warbling. Sometimes, the end title theme from the show plays over.

'''Logo:''' On a backdrop of vertical bars that resemble a doorway (with four {{color|#6b3e00|brown}} bars on both sides of the screen, one {{color|red}} bar inside each of them, and a {{color|blue}} gradient resembling the open "door") we see "{{color|silver|'''''{{Big|K}}ING{{Big|W}}ORLD'''''}}" in {{color|silver|silver}} and in the same font as the previous logo, on the center of the screen, with 2 sets of 3 {{color|silver|silver}} bars that switch sides below. At the same time, a {{color|silver|silver}} triangle rotates as it moves towards the 2 sets of lines and settles between them, with the negative space between the triangle, lines and "{{color|silver|'''''{{Big|W}}'''''}}" forming a star. After the space is formed, a white star briefly flashes inside and fades out.

* One January 1994 episode of ''Inside Edition'' has a copyright notice on the logo. This was due to a special tribute episode to the victims of gun violence of that episode as well as the rushed closing from same said episode.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A 6-note synth fanfare, none, or the closing theme of the show. ''Wild West C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa'' had a shorter version of this theme on season 2 of the show.

'''Music/Sounds Variants:''' On the closing of ''Jeopardy!'' and ''Wheel of Fortune'', the logo is accompanied by a voice-over saying "(and is) distributed by King World" announced by Johnny Gilbert and Charlie O'Donnell until November 1996.

* It was seen on several ''Jeopardy!'' reruns on GSN, but due to the network cutting off the closing credits of much of their reruns (not to mention reruns of said shows ending in 2013), this logo is intact on Pluto TV.

* This was also seen on season one of ''Hollywood Squares'', ''Wheel of Fortune'', and ''PM Magazine'', among others with "Distributed By" or "Produced & Distributed by" above. The version with "Produced & Distributed by" also appeared on ''Inside Edition'' and ''Instant Recall'', as well as ''Rolanda''.

'''Trivia:''' The logo was designed and animated by Pittard Sullivan, who also did the 1995 [[Disney-ABC Home Entertainment and Television Distribution|Buena Vista Television]] logo, and the 1998 [[CTV Productions|CTV]] logo. The logo was animated in 1999 by SIMEX (in association with Pittard Sullivan) on an SGI computer running Alias|Wavefront PowerAnimator ([http://www.awn.com/news/simex-helps-create-king-world-logo read the press release here]).

* On ''The Vault'' underneath the blue paint streak has the white paint streak with the words "INTERNATIONAL PRODUCTIONS" on it and the logo shares the screen with the [[Carlton Productions|Carlton Television]] logo with the blue Carlton star background.

'''Music/Sounds:''' Various streaking sounds followed by a booming sound of a thunderclap, accompanied by an "airy" musical backdrop. May also have the end theme playing over it.

'''Logo:''' Over a {{color|#00a2ff|blue}} sky, above the clouds, we see the "{{color|blue|'''''{{Big|K}}ING{{Big|W}}ORLD'''''}}" wordmark in the same font as the previous logo, but tilted up and redone in 3-D with a {{color|silver|silver}} trim. It flies outward and settles itself in the center, and a shooting star flies under the text, leaving the same {{color|blue}} paint streak with a star-shaped gap in it from the previous logo. The text "''DISTRIBUTED BY''" or "''PRODUCED & DISTRIBUTED BY''", or nothing at all, appear above the wordmark, in a smaller font this time.

*The text "{{color|blue|'''''PRODUCED AND DISTRIBUTED BY KINGWORLD'''''}}" is seen below the logo on the sizzle reel of the short-lived game show ''Combination Lock''.

'''Music/Sounds:''' An ominous wind sound followed by a "glittery" sound, accompanied by synth beeps with a helicopter-like sound. A long version also exists.
