Procter & Gamble, a consumer products company, entered TV production in 1951 when the soap opera ''Search for Tomorrow'' premiered on CBS. As Procter & Gamble is known for their cleaning products, this is where the term "soap opera" came from. They didn't use a logo until 1986. | Procter & Gamble, a consumer products company, entered TV production in 1951 when the soap opera ''Search for Tomorrow'' premiered on CBS.

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 "{{Font color|blue|'''PGP'''}}" in a lined font, which pull into the back of the monolith. The letters shine in a "flash" (similar to the 1978 [[GBH|WGBH]] logo) and solidify in their color. After that, the words '''"PROCTER & GAMBLE PRODUCTIONS, INC.'''" (in a white Avant Garde font) appear below "{{Font color|blue|'''PGP'''}}", and are sandwiched by two {{Font color|blue|blue}} lines which are formed 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. | ||

'''Editor's Note''': Much blander and corporate than the previous logo. It may annoy people who liked the previous logo, although it tends to be far less hated than the final Program Exchange logo. | '''Editor's Note''': Much blander and corporate than the previous logo.
