'''Visuals:''' Against a black background, a group of rays in varying shades of {{color|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}} 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. | '''Visuals:''' Against a black background, a group of rays in varying shades of {{color|blue}} rise up from bottom of the screen.

'''Technique:''' Live-action and CGI.

Generic network promo music was used on CBS starting on August 2, 1999. Sometimes, especially on ''Guiding Light'' episodes until 2002, CBS showed the PGP logo twice: first with the normal music, and then with the generic music the second time. | ||

'''Audio:''' 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.

'''Availability:''' It was used from August 6, 2007 until June 30, 2008 on the soaps ''As the World Turns'' and ''Guiding Light''. The logo surprisingly appeared in April 2010 on the NBC TV movie ''Secrets of the Mountain'', two years after ''ATWT'' and ''GL'' discontinued the logo (PGP continues to produce TV movies to this day), and was also spotted on the 2011 People's Choice Awards. | '''Availability:''' It was used from August 6, 2007 until June 30, 2008 on the soaps ''As the World Turns'' and ''Guiding Light''.
