'''Logo:''' Against a black background, a group of rays in varying shades of {{color|blue|blue}} rise 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 "{{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 "{{color|blue|'''PGP'''}}", and are sandwiched by two {{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.

*1986 episodes of Search For Tomorrow feature the long version of this logo superimposed over a dark cloudy background that fades to black that was part of SFT's end credits.
*There are 2 short versions: one that has the "PGP" drawing then flashing, or one that just has the logo cut to the flash. Both play the same ending.

'''Legacy:''' While this logo isn't the most impressive logo ever today, it is a prime example of a high-quality 1980s professional logo and is a favorite of many soap opera fans.

'''Logo:''' On a white background, a large, {{color|blue|blue}} globe-like ball zooms onto the screen, diving into the bottom right, leaving a {{color|blue|blue}} trail as it does so. The ball, now smaller, comes in from the right side of the screen to form the letters "'''{{color|blue|PG}}{{color|deepskyblue|P}}'''" (the "{{color|blue|'''PG'''}}" is connected) in {{color|blue|blue}} and {{color|deepskyblue|aquamarine}} on its right, and the following text in the same colors below it:

The ball has a blue crescent on it's right side, perhaps referencing P&G's historic moon logo.

'''Music/Sounds:''' A light orchestral horn tune with a rising synth sounder, but rarely used because of CBS' tendency to play generic network music over the logo. The version with the logo theme appeared on episodes of ''As the World Turns'' and ''Guiding Light'' on CBS.com.

'''Availability:''' Rare as this was short lived. Seen on 2007-2008 Episodes of As The World Turns & Guiding Light on CBS and Another World on NBC. The logo surprisingly appeared in April 2010 on the NBC TV movie ''Secrets of the Mountain'', two years after ''ATWT'',AW &''GL'' discontinued the logo (PGP continues to produce TV movies to this day), and was also spotted on the 2011 People's Choice Awards.

'''Legacy:''' Much blander and more corporate than the previous logo.

'''Final Note''': A spin-off company of Procter & Gamble Productions known as "TeleNEXT Media" was created in 2008 to produce the final episodes of ''As the World Turns'' and ''Guiding Light'' (''AW ended in June 2009, GL'' ended in September 2009, while ''ATWT'' followed in September 2010). In 2013, the company was renamed "Procter & Gamble Entertainment".
