Background

They also produced Beyond 2000, which the company's name is derived from. On October 5, 2022, it was announced Banijay would acquire Beyond, and the acquisition was completed on December 30, 2022.

1st Logo (1988-1989)
Logo: On a black background, we see an in-credit logo, consisting of the text " Times New Roman " in a serif font, with the word "INTERNATIONAL" and "GROUP", in spaced-out letters, in a plain font. Copyright info is shown below the logo.

Technique: None.

Availability: Seen on the short-lived Fox version of Beyond 2000, called Beyond Tomorrow.

2nd Logo (1989-1991)
Logo: On a time-lapse cloudy sky background with wireframe lines, we see a black rhombus that rotates to the right, revealing it was a drawn star. A purple streak draws over the rhombus, and a purple line draws in, and settles to the center. The same text from the previous logo slides in one by one.

Variants:
 * Sometimes, a copyright info is shown below the logo.

3rd Logo (1990-March 2, 1997)
Logo: On a black and blue gradient background, a black and grey marbled 3-D rhombus spins around before it stops facing the front. Then, a silver star outline and a purple streak (the same one from the previous logos) that goes through it appears followed by the text from the last two logos fading in below.

Variants:
 * Sometimes the copyright, "© [YEAR] BEYOND PROPERTIES PTY LTD" is shown below.
 * On Ocean Girl and non-USA prints of The Magic Riddle, "DISTRIBUTED BY" appears above "BEYOND" while "DISTRIBUTION" and "PTY LTD" replace "INTERNATIONAL" and "GROUP" respectively.

Technique: The rhombus spinning and the text appearing.

Music/Sounds: None or the end theme of the show.

Availability: Seen on shows of the era, such as the first three seasons of Ocean Girl, Fire, The Magic Riddle, The Zone and Beyond 2000.

4th Logo (1996-1999)
Logo: This is just a shortened version of the Beyond Films logo, albeit with a byline that says "Beyond Distribution Pty Limited" fading in right after "BEYOND" does.

Variants:
 * On Stingers, the Star symbol is seen with the Beyond wordmark cropped out, "Beyond Simpson Le Mesurier" is seen below in a plain sans-serif font.
 * On Sex/Life the byline was replaced with a copyright text.

Technique: Same as it's film counterpart, but only the second half is used.

Music/Sounds: The second half of the fanfare from the film logo or the closing theme of the show.

Availability: Rare. Seen on Beyond 2000, the fourth season of Ocean Girl, Halifax P.F., Stingers and The Gift.

5th Logo (1998-March 5, 2016)
Logo: A shortened version of the 1998 film logo, but "FILMS" is replaced with "PRODUCTIONS".

Variants:
 * Sometimes the copyright disclaimer is seen below the logo.
 * A variant has been spotted without the copyright date, which was from the MythBusters episode "Salsa Escape".
 * Another variant has been spotted without the word "PRODUCTIONS" or the copyright stamp. This is from Lab Rats Challenge.
 * On Silversun, "PRODUCTIONS" is replaced with "SIMPSON LE MESURIER" referring to series creator and producer, Roger Simpson and co-producer, Roger Le Mesurier.
 * On some shows, "PRODUCTIONS" is replaced with "DISTRIBUTION".
 * A print version of the logo exists.
 * An in-credit version of this logo also exists.
 * Sometimes, "PRODUCTIONS" was replaced by either "ACTION" or "SCREEN PRODUCTION(S)".

Technique: Same as the 1998 film logo.

Music/Sounds: The second half of the fanfare from the 1998 film logo. On overseas airings of MythBusters, it uses the closing credits music.

Availability: Seen on their shows and documentaries that they produced or distributed until 2016 such as Kid Detectives, Backyard Science, Lab Rats Challenge, MythBusters, Answered by Fire, Something in the Air and Toybox, among others. Check your old recordings of MythBusters for this one, as most 2005 episodes have no logo; just a copyright. In 2006, Discovery added on-screen credits to this show (including the reruns). But at least one occurrence was shown with the original credits and this logo on one airing of an early MythBusters episode (the Shattering CD-Roms one, to be specific). The best source for this logo is the DVD collections from the Discovery shop and on downloads of the episodes from the iTunes Store. Most episodes on DVD and TV in Australia have the fanfare variant shown at the show's start. It was also shown on later seasons of Beyond 2000 and the children's game show Lab Rats Challenge, where reruns of the said show are seen on the Australian versions of Cartoon Network and Boomerang.

6th Logo (2013-)
Logo: On a black background, we see a purple star zooms out. A streak draws in from the star, and then the star rotates. The background turns white and the text "BEYOND" zooms out, and lines draw in. The logo shines, and some purple lines disappear. The word "PRODUCTIONS" fades in on the bottom right of the word.

Variants:
 * There is a version where the word "DISTRIBUTION" appears on the bottom right of the logo replacing the word "PRODUCTIONS".
 * Another version exists where the word "RIGHTS" appears below the logo. This became the current distribution arm since 2020 when TCB Media Rights was acquired by Beyond International.
 * On Wild But True the logo is supervised with the text below the logo reads "SCREEN PRODUCTION".
 * A rare version has been spotted on the movie Manny Lewis, here on a black background with city spotlights we see a orange red trial like a shooting star which it zooms out to create a streak which draws down to form the star with the word "BEYOND" now in shiny silver appears with the word "SCREEN PRODUCTION" also in silver appears on the bottom right of the logo.
