These are the logo variations seen throughout the years by Pearl & Dean, with more to be added overtime.

Fiat 500 (2007): Random tools are displayed individually on a white background during the drum roll before angles of a white FIAT 500 are shown in sync with the music notes.

Then, the 500 logo is shown, followed by "EVERYDAY MASTERPIECES" in a stacked format, the Pearl & Dean logo, and Fiat's with its slogan "you are, we car".


SpongeBob SquarePants (2008): Featuring Gary and SpongeBob (both voiced by Tom Kenny), the former meows then the latter says "Quiet Gary, it's starting!". He then proceeds to sing the Asteroid theme. Then, the logo zooms out to the Nickelodeon splat (which had a mosaic featuring various Nickelodeon UK shows when zooming out) and the phrase "Enjoy the Film". During this sequence, a THX-like synth note is held before being interrupted by SpongeBob's laugh.


Horton Hears a Who! (2008): An abridged edit of the bridge scene from the movie plays while "Asteroid" plays. After that, the normal, finished Pearl & Dean logo plays.

An alternate variant features the 6th logo but with the zooming text parts included in the sequence.

Following this is text zooming out, reading "RULE 1: DON'T CROSS THE STREAMS" with a red glow and the "O" in "CROSS" replaced with a circular X symbol.

Then, three velociraptors jog across the logo, one of which roars at the audience before dashing along. This dinosaur transitions the Pearl & Dean logo to Jurassic World's.


Inside Out (2015): A cord falls in the middle of the logo. Anger walks into the logo and tries to pull it down, but due to his short size, causes irritation. Fear steps in and pulls the cord down to reveal the Inside Out logo. Anger furiously tackles Fear after the Inside Out card knocks his head several times.

Just laying down some dope tracks here and didn't see there. But since you've already interrupted my sick flow, I'll might as well tell you about my new feature film "The LEGO Batman Movie", written, directed, and sound mixed, choreographed, and painstakingly beatboxed by me, because I'm Batman". At the end of the circles sequence, they all become gold and explode into pieces after merging, revealing the movie logo. Soon after, Batman enters the screen with a microphone, saying "Batman out". Before leaving the logo, he enters back into the screen and drops the mic.


Ghost in the Shell (2017): The logo plays normally until the finished product glitches to a short sequence featuring Motoko Kusanagi (played by Scarlett Johansson).

"This is your TV screen" is displayed after a few seconds, followed by "most of the time", "A void, full of nothing", "It's time", "to adjust your set.", and "No more black screens". The Samsung QLED TV logo is then shown and glitches back to the Pearl & Dean logo right where it got interrupted.

After a few seconds, the circle animation plays on a black background with Thing dancing around the screen. After that, Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday, and Pugsley zoom in from one of the circles with Wednesday being the only Addams to zoom in further, this time to clap her hands slowly. Thing then slides into the logo before the Pearl & Dean logo is revealed. The logo zooms in and the Addams Family logo and its characters are shown below.

While flying across the screen, she sings along to the "Asteroid" theme before the Pearl & Dean logo flips in and knocks her. She falls to the ground. After that, the text "Learn more about the robins in your area at rspb.org.uk/robinrobin" is shown above the RSPB, Aardman, and Netflix logos.
