*1980-1983: None.
*1980-1983 and static in-credit variants: None.
*1981-1990: The icosahedron spinning towards the viewer. The entire animated sequence is superimposed over the ending scene of the show's intro, making this a unique logo. The version used in the closing credits continued to be still. (Expect on early episodes of ''Sons & Daughters'' where the icosahedron was also animated in the credits.)
*1981-1990: Scanimate effects. The entire animated sequence is superimposed over the ending scene of the show's intro, making this a unique logo. The version used in the closing credits continued to be still (except on early episodes of ''Sons & Daughters'' where the icosahedron was also animated in the credits).
*''Match Mates'' Variant: On ''Match Mates'' (an Australian children's version of ''Concentration'' which aired from 1981 to 1982), the logo slid from the bottom of the screen and stopped at the centre, at the same speed as the closing credits. This is the only known occasion where the associated network's credit (the Nine Network) appeared ''before'' the Grundy logo.
*''Play Your Cards Right'' Variant: On ''Play Your Cards Right'' (an Australian version of ''Card Sharks'' which aired in 1984), the entire static logo (including the "diamond", company name and copyright statement) flipped out from the centre of the screen (in a similar fashion to the "Play Your Cards Right" logo flipping at the start of the end credits).


'''Music/Sounds:''' The end theme of the show. See above for game show mentions.

*On shows in New Zealand, especially on TVNZ's channels, the logo zooms out in a box, against either a gray or blue background, with the TVNZ logo underneath it. This can at least be found on the country's versions of ''Sale of the Century'' and ''Wheel of Fortune.''

'''FX/SFX:''' The icosahedron zooming-out, the comets flying, the stars sparkling, and the icosahedron rotating.
'''FX/SFX:''' Early CGI animation.


'''Music/Sounds/Voice-over:''' A majestic synth note being held out, or the end title theme from any show. However, the game shows do use a slight remix of the music from the show's theme, and the announcer signing-off (example from ''Sale of the Century'': "This is a Grundy Television Production for Nine Network Australia. Peter Smith speaking").
