'''Logo:''' We see a white screen, which condenses into a lens flare which curves along a {{color|green}} planet (Earth) on a {{color|dodgerblue|light blue}} background. The word "{{Font|Serif|PEARSON}}" zooms out, the background turns {{color|navy|navy blue}}, and the planet shrinks into a small arc. "{{Font|Serif|PEARSON}}" settles itself above the arc, and a streak below the arc brings forth either "TELEVISION" or "TELEVISION INTERNATIONAL" in a {{color|purple}} bar. As the lens flare moves, it shines brightly, then towards the left, it shines again and turns into a star.

* Another variation has the byline "What the World is Watching" fading in on all television international versions. A still version exists with (Distributed By) on ''Neighbours'', ''Jack the Ripper'' (1988, pre-2002 print DVD) and ''Mr. Bean'' (live action series, DVD released before 2002; later uses the still version of the 2001 FremantleMedia logo with the "Distributed By" text).

* Earlier episodes of ''100 Mexicanos Dijeron'' had an in-credit version of the logo, sometimes over the [[Televisa]] logo.

* On the ''Wheel of Fortune''/''Family Feud'' Philippine adaptation crossover, the logo appears on the right and the logos of [[Columbia TriStar Television]] and [[King World Productions]] appear on the left, then the logos zoom out to reveal the 2001-2004 ABC 5 logo.

* A prototype version exists, which has a slower lens flare, and the text appears when the logo is bigger.

* On some shows, it uses the ending theme.

* Towards the end of its run, CBS used a generic saxophone/synth theme (which was also used for CBS's 1997-1998 "The Address is CBS: Welcome Home" branding; it later used a simple three-note theme from 2001-2004) on broadcasts of ''The Price is Right''.

* This was not too common in the US, but can be seen on reruns of ''The Bill'', among other shows in the UK and reruns of ''Neighbours'' in Australia.

* It appeared on ''The Price is Right'', ''Family Feud'', and ''Baywatch'' (it surprisingly appeared on one episode on its UK DVD of the latter), among others, though current Buzzr/Amazon prints of the 1999 ''Family Feud'' plaster it with the 2001 FremantleMedia North America logo.

* The current [[American Public Television]] rerun package of ''Mr. Bean'' has the Pearson Television International logo edited over the [[Thames|Thames Television]] triangle logo (versions 1 and 2) over all episodes except ''Mr. Bean's Christmas''. Oddly, the regular (non-international variant) logo can be seen at the end of ''Mitä Maksaa'' (''TPIR'' in Finland) and ''Que Dice la Gente?'' (''FF'' in Venezuela) as well, PAL-tweaked (though Venezuela still uses the NTSC format).

* It was also recently seen on an episode of the 1998-1999 version of ''Match Game'' on GSN during a ''Match Game'' marathon on 25 December 2012.

* A handful of episodes of ''Strike It Rich'' when aired on Challenge in the UK has this logo preserved (look for episodes with a 1999 copyright that is followed by a [[Grundy Television|Grundy]]/[[London Weekend Television Productions|LWT]] endcap), while all other episodes use the 2001 FremantleMedia logo.

* The Pearson/[[Carlton Productions|Carlton]] combo survives on at least one episode of the 1998 season of ''Dale's Supermarket Sweep'' on Challenge, whilst other episodes plaster it and the 1998 Carlton-era "CENTRAL Production" endcap with the 2001 FremantleMedia logo.

* This logo also surprisingly appears on the ''Wheel of Fortune''/''Family Feud'' crossover on ABC5 (now TV5), and ''Komunikata'' in TPI (now MNCTV)

* Also seen on later syndicated prints of [[Live Entertainment|Live]]/[[Artisan Entertainment]] titles, among others.
