Background
Profiles Television is the production company founded by Elise Doganieri and Bertram van Munster. It operates two divisions, which are Earthview, Inc. and Worldrace Productions, Inc.
1st Logo (1998-October 17, 2001)
Logo: We see a video clip of rhinoceros running around. Superimposed is the yellow text "Earthview, Inc.", in a cartoonish font zooming out.
Variant: A later version of the logo exists where the logo is shortened, and the text is in lowercase and in orange.
Technique: Live-action.
Music/Sounds: A sound of a rhinoceros grumbling. CBS airings of The Amazing Race used a generic theme.
Availability: Seen on Wild Things and the first six episodes of The Amazing Race.
2nd Logo (October 24, 2001-May 8, 2011)
Logo: We see an orange light with a blue outline moving around in a blurry fashion; the outline resembles a ring. The word "WORLDRACE", with "PRODUCTIONS, INC." in a Copperplate Gothic font stretches in from the screen. The ring shines from a sparkle effect.
Variants:
- An earlier version exists where the ring is different and the text reads "earthview, inc." in an Arial font.
- An enhanced version of the logo exists. This can be seen on season 18 of The Amazing Race.
Technique: 2D computer animation.
Music/Sounds: A whoosh sound or none. CBS airings used a generic theme.

3rd Logo (February 27, 2003-April 20, 2008)
Logo: On a black background, a light forms "PROFILES" with a wave effect. The word "TELEVISION PRODUCTIONS LLC" appears behind it as the light continues and "PROFILES" stops waving. A red line fades in, and the text shines. "IN ASSOCIATION WITH" appears below.
Technique: 2D computer animation.
Music/Sounds: None or an ABC generic theme.
Availability: Seen on Oprah's Big Give and Profiles from the Front Line.
4th Logo (August 2, 2011-)
Logo: On a black background with a blue light, lines draw in. The lines then reveal the word "PROFILES" in a tall font. The word "TELEVISION" fades in below the word "PROFILES".
Variants:
- On The Amazing Race, the text reads "WORLDRACE" and "PRODUCTIONS" is shown below. Also the text is behind a globe.

- Sometimes, the logo is shortened.
- A still version exists.
Technique: CGI.
Music/Sounds: An ascending drum sound, none, the end theme of the show, or a network generic theme.
