* At the start of ''The Little Rascals'', the company name and the "Presents" text appears on a title card, the KWP logo isn’t seen however.

* A version exists, where the logo stays on screen longer.

* It also possibly appeared at the end of Merle Elli's ''The Butcher'' and on ''House Call'', a 90-second program, starring Dr. Lendon Smith.

* A B&W variant of the logo exists, which appears on classic shows, including ''Branded''.

* A version with a black background also exists, also likely due to film deterioration.

* A shortened version of the normal logo with "'''''DISTRIBUTED BY'''''" above it exists. This appeared on ''The Oprah Winfrey Show'' until at least 1991.

* Another shortened version without "'''''DISTRIBUTED BY'''''" above also exists.

* A still variant also exists on some early episodes of ''Inside Edition''.

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

* It appears on ''Jeopardy!'', ''Super Jeopardy!'', ''Wheel of Fortune'', ''Headline Chasers'', and ''Monopoly'', among others.

* This is plastered on broadcast reruns of ''Jeopardy!'', such as the summer 2020 reruns of classic episodes, but is preserved on select releases, most notably on Pluto TV, and the copy of the 1984 premiere on the 2005 DVD release of ''Jeopardy!: An Inside Look at America's Favorite Quiz Show''.

* The animated logo most recently appears on the DVD releases of ''Branded'' and ''The Guns of Will Sonnett'', and it also appears on Me-TV's prints of those shows.

* The "Presents" variant was seen on TCM's prints of ''Under Capricorn'' and ''Night in Paradise''.

** The "presents" variant also made an appearance at the end of ''The Guns of Will Sonnett'' episode, "The Natural Way", on a Decades airing.

* The B&W variant also made an appearance on a TCM UK airing of ''The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes'' (1939), as most Holmes films on TCM use the 1995 [[CBS Broadcast International]] logo instead.

** It also appeared on an August 12, 1989 KOIN 6 airing of the Sherlock Holmes movie "The Scarlet Claw."

* An extended variant of the logo exists, where the background appears with colorful stripes and a large {{color|peru|tan}} star shaped like the one in the logo, and the doorway background animates into place and the spotlights shoot up from the bottom of the screen as the words "{{color|silver|'''''{{Big|K}}ING'''''}}" and "{{color|silver|'''''{{Big|W}}ORLD'''''}}" in 2-D fly into the screen a la the [[MGM Home Entertainment|MGM/UA Home Video]] logo (with "{{color|silver|'''''{{Big|K}}ING'''''}}" going from right to left, and "{{color|silver|'''''{{Big|W}}ORLD'''''}}" going from left to right). A long version appears as the rest of the logo proceeds as normal as the words "{{color|silver|'''DISTRIBUTED BY'''}}" or "{{color|silver|'''PRODUCED & DISTRIBUTED BY'''}}" fade in at the top. This was seen on episodes of ''Jeopardy!'' (October 1990-October 1992), ''Inside Edition'', a news magazine called ''Instant Recall'' from 1990-1992, and the 1991-92 version of ''Candid Camera'' (also known as ''The All-New Candid Camera'').

* A shorter version of the logo also exists, where "{{color|silver|'''DISTRIBUTED BY'''}}" or "{{color|silver|'''PRODUCED & DISTRIBUTED BY'''}}" already appears at the top and the logo is already formed. It starts at the place where the star flashes in the star space.

* A B&W variant of the shorter version also exists, which appears on ''The Little Rascals''.

* A "slowed down" variant exists.

* A still version of this logo exists. This appeared on ''The Oprah Winfrey Show'' until least 1992.

* An in-credit version also exists, which appears on the UK version of ''Jeopardy!''.

'''Audio:''' A six-note synth fanfare from Robert Douglas, 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. This theme is also used for the 1993 [[Camelot Entertainment Sales]] logo.

* It was seen on several ''Jeopardy!'' reruns on GSN before that network stopped airing episodes on a regular basis; this logo is still intact on Pluto TV's prints of older episodes.

* This was also seen on season one of ''Hollywood Squares'', ''Wheel of Fortune'', and ''Inside Edition'', among others with "Distributed By" or "Produced & Distributed by" above.

* The version with "Produced & Distributed by" also appeared on the short-lived ''Instant Recall'', as well as ''Rolanda''.

* The variant without "Distributed By" appears on ''Wild West C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa'' and the 1991-92 ''Candid Camera''.

* A more common short version exists, which cuts out the close-up panning of the logo.

* On post-1999 episodes of ''Hollywood Squares'', the copyright stamp "Copyright [YEAR] King World Studios West, Inc." appears below the logo.

* On the Filipino version of ''Wheel of Fortune'', a copyright stamp for the Associated Broadcasting Company appears.

* On ''The Vault'', underneath the blue paint streak has the white paint streak with the words "INTERNATIONAL PRODUCTIONS" on it, and the logo also shares the screen with the 1999 [[Carlton Productions|Carlton]] logo with the blue Carlton star background.

'''Audio Variants:''' There are three music variations:

* On Hallmark Drama airings of ''Touched By An Angel'', depending on the episode, the logo is slowed down and can also be sometimes low pitched as well.

* It also used to appear on old syndicated prints of ''Everybody Loves Raymond'' (although CMT Canada airings and one episode on Channel 4 in the UK retain it, followed by the 1995 [[CBS Broadcast International]] logo) and the ''CSI'' franchise, but nowadays, the 2007 [[CBS Television Distribution]] logo is shown instead.  

* It's also seen on Start TV's airings of ''Family Law'' and the last two seasons of ''Early Edition''.

* The distribution variant appeared on a Movies! airing of ''Hound of the Baskervilles'' (1939 version).  

* This logo is also left intact on Hallmark Drama airings of ''Touched By An Angel'' and Pluto TV prints of the ''H2''-era ''Hollywood Squares''.

* It also appeared on a TCM airing of ''My Fair Lady''.

* It appears on the ''Caroline and the City'' episode "Caroline and El Niño" (S04E21) on CBS All Access (now [[Paramount+]]), and also used to be seen on later syndicated prints of the show.

** ''Caroline'' reruns on the newly-launched Rewind TV also retain this.
