'''Logo''': | '''Logo''': Against a black background, a group of rays in varying shades of blue rises up from bottom of the screen. The rays form a monolith with a bright, shiny back face, which pans backward (and slightly downward), rotates to face forward, then stops. As it rotates towards the screen, the rays are outlined to make "PGP" in a lined font, which pull into the back of the monolith. The letters shine in a "flash" (similar to the 1978 WGBH logo) and solidify in their color. After that, the words "PROCTER & GAMBLE PRODUCTIONS, INC." (in white Avant Garde font) appear below the "PGP", and are bordered top and bottom by two blue lines (same color as the PGP) which form left to right and right to left, respectively. This is PGP's first of two proper logos since PGP had no logo per sé until this one debuted. | ||

'''Music/Sounds''': A light, jaunty synth tune | '''Music/Sounds''': A light, jaunty synth tune consisting of 2 descending bars of 6 notes, then a last bar of 8 notes, then a 4 note sounder as the last bass chord fades away (i.e. just after the rays in the PGP pull back). However, on September 20, 1999, CBS replaced the electronic music with generic network promo music. Sometimes, especially on Guiding Light episodes until 2002, CBS showed the PGP logo twice: with the normal music first, and then with the generic music the second time. | ||
