Background: Pearson Television was created in November 1998 after Pearson plc. (a British-based media conglomerate) renamed the former All American Television under the behest of its founder/CEO Ian Pearson. However, when it was purchased by RTL Group (parent company of Fremantle International, as a subsidiary of Bertelsmann), it was renamed FremantleMedia in 2001.
(1998-2001)
Nickname: "The Shining Arc"
Logo: We see a white screen, which condenses into a lens flare which curves along a green planet on a light blue BG. The word "PEARSON" zooms out, the BG turns navy blue, and the planet shrinks into a small arc. "PEARSON" settles itself above the arc, and a streak below the arc brings forth either "TELEVISION" or "TELEVISION INTERNATIONAL". As the lens flare moves, it shines brightly, then, towards the left, it shines again, and turns into a star.
Variants:
FX/SFX: All of the animation.
Music/Sounds: A synth-orchestra fanfare ridden with bells and shining sounds. On some shows, they use the show's ending theme.
Availability: Not too common in the States, 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, among others. The logo was last seen on the 2000-2002 edition of To Tell The Truth when re-aired on GSN, but due to compressed credits, the music isn't heard that often. The current American Public Television rerun package of Mr. Bean has the Pearson Television International logo edited over the Thames Television Triangle (versions 1 and 2) over all episodes except the Mr. Bean's Christmas episode.
Scare Factor: Low; the flash at the beginning can be startling, but this is an otherwise great logo.

Variants:
- There is also a still-shot version with "DISTRIBUTED BY" above the television international variant.
- Another variation has the byline "What the World is Watching" fading in on all television international versions.
- In some shows, the logo is fast motioned.
- There was a "Produced and Distributed By" variant that was seen on Falling from the Sky.
- On Dale's Supermarket Sweep, the logo read "PEARSON TELEVISION and CARLTON CO-PRODUCTION" with "CARLTON" in its corporate font.

Logo reminds me of sci-fi movies somewhat.
