Presentation |

Procter & Gamble Productions, Inc. (2000).png |
|||
'''Variant:''' On The Brighter Day, the in-credit notice used is like the one used on Search for Tomorrow, except it is superimposed, none of the font is italicized, and "The Brighter Day" is in place of "Search for Tomorrow." |
|||
'''FX/SFX:''' The Search for Tomorrow variant fades in with a wipe effect. The variant used on The Brighter Day is just superimposed. |
|||
'''Music/Sounds:''' The closing theme of whatever TV show the logo came on. |
|||
'''Availability:''' Extinct. It was on at least two Procter & Gamble soaps during the 1950s and 1960s: The Brighter Day and Search for Tomorrow. Check old kinescopes and maybe the trading circuit. |
|||
'''Editor's Note:''' It's just in-credit text. Nothing much here. |
|||
===2nd Logo (1966?-1972?)=== |
|||
'''Logo:''' Superimposed in the closing credits of The Guiding Light, we see this text: |
|||
THE |
|||
GUIDING |
|||
LIGHT |
|||
Presented By |
|||
PROCTER & GAMBLE |
|||
'''FX/SFX:''' Fades in like the rest of the credits. |
|||
'''Music/Sounds:''' The end theme of The Guiding Light. |
|||
'''Availability:''' Extremely rare. It was seen on late 1960s episodes of The Guiding Light. Check kinescopes and the trading circuit. |
|||
'''Editor's Note:''' Once again, it's just simple in-credit text. |
|||
===3rd Logo (1972?-May 30, 1980)=== |
|||
'''Logo:''' Same as the previous two logos, consisting of the words: |
|||
A PRESENTATION OF |
|||
PROCTER & GAMBLE |
|||
PRODUCTIONS |
|||
in Lydian font. |
|||
'''Variants:''' |
|||
*On Another World, the notice was centered inside a wreath of interlocking circles (in the same motif as the open to the show in that period). |
|||
*Later variants on at least three PGP shows (As the World Turns, Guiding Light, and The Edge of Night) had the text scrolling up with the rest of the credits and used the same font as the credits. |
|||
'''FX/SFX:''' None for the non-scrolling variations of the logo. |
|||
'''Music/Sounds:''' The closing theme of whatever TV show the logo came on. |
|||
'''Availability:''' Was on soap operas such as As the World Turns, Another World, and Guiding Light from at least the early 1970s to 1980. This logo's lifespan coincides squarely with the gradual rise of home video recording, so you might be able to find this on a precious few off-air recordings. |
|||
'''Editor's Note:''' After this logo was last used on Friday, May 30, 1980, the P&G soaps began using copyright stamps (either on the show's title card or scrolling in the credits) on Monday, June 2, 1980, to acknowledge that P&G produced their shows, and had no in-credit text other than that until the 5th logo was introduced in early 1986. However, P&G's soaps continued to use copyright stamps along with logos from PGP (1986 and 2007) and later TeleNext Media for the remainder of their runs. |
|||
===4th Logo (Early 1986-August 3, 2007)=== |

'''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 [[WGBH Productions|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. |

Background
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.
1st Logo (Early 1986-August 3, 2007)
Visuals: Against a black background, a group of rays in varying shades of 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 "PGP" in a lined font, which pull into the back of the monolith. The letters shine in a "flash" (similar to the 1978 WGBH logo) and solidify in their color. After that, the words "PROCTER & GAMBLE PRODUCTIONS, INC." (in a white Avant Garde font) appear below "PGP", and are sandwiched by two 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.
Date Trivia: This logo made its first end credit appearances on the following Procter & Gamble shows on the following dates in 1986:
- Another World: late January or early February (on or before February 14)
- Search for Tomorrow: March or April
- As the World Turns: April 21
- Guiding Light: October 13
Variants:
- There are 2 short versions: one that has the "PGP" drawing then flashing, and another that just has the logo cut to the flash. Both play the same ending.
- On the 1991 TV movie A Triumph of the Heart: The Ricky Bell Story, "in association with" is below.
- On at least one December 1986 episode of Search for Tomorrow, the logo simply fades in without the flash effects.
- On Christmas on Division Street, this logo is still.
- On A Message from Holly, the logo is still, and is more gray-ish than blue.
Technique: A mixture of live-action (the rays and monolith) and CGI (the finished product). According to a comment on this upload, the logo was shot on 35mm film using a 16-axis automated camera stand, programmed using BASIC commands.
Audio: A light, jaunty synth tune consisting of 2 descending bars of 6 notes, then a last bar of 8 notes, then a 4-note sounder, which has a note sequence of A-F#-D-G, as the last bass chord fades away (i.e. just after the rays in the PGP pull back). 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 Variants:
- The short versions have the music shortened to just the 4-note sounder.
- On one CTV airing of Another World, the music gets cut off halfway on the last note.
- Some variants of the logo end with the end credits music.
Availability: It appeared on episodes of Procter & Gamble soaps from early 1986 to August 3, 2007 like As the World Turns, Guiding Light, Another World (which used this all the way to its final episode in 1999), and the final episodes of Search for Tomorrow. This was also seen on other programs co-produced by P&G, such as made-for-TV movies. The long version was mostly used with the soaps' long credit rolls, which were usually broadcast every Friday.
2nd Logo (August 6, 2007-2013)
Visuals: On a white background, a large, blue globe-like ball zooms onto the screen, diving into the bottom right, leaving a blue trail as it does so. The ball, now smaller, comes in from the right side of the screen to form the letters "PGP" (the "PG" is connected) in blue and aquamarine on its right, and the following text in the same colors below it:
PRODUCTIONS,INC.
The ball has a blue crescent on its right side, perhaps referencing P&G's historic moon logo.
Variant: At the end of the People's Choice Awards, only the second half of the logo (with the text appearing next to the ball) is shown.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: A light orchestral horn tune with a rising synth sounder. This appeared mainly on episodes of As the World Turns and Guiding Light on CBS.com; original airings typically used generic music.
Availability: It was used from August 6, 2007 until June 30, 2008 on the soaps As the World Turns and Guiding Light. The logo later 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 People's Choice Awards from 2011 and 2012.
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 (GL ended on September 18, 2009, while ATWT followed almost exactly a year later on September 17, 2010). In 2013, the company was renamed "Procter & Gamble Entertainment".
