The text casts a drop shadow.

3rd Logo (Mid-2010-2020s)

A copyright notice, as well as a notice stating that all music is on iTunes, a link to the Bold and the Beautiful's Facebook page and the URL "www.boldandbeautiful.com" appear below.

Technique: Live-action for the background.

Audio: None. Network 10 airings of The Bold and The Beautiful use the last few notes of the theme tune (Network 10 generally cuts the credits, jumping straight to this logo at the end of the episode).

4th Logo (2020s-)


Visuals: Over a new beach shot, this time of a calmer beach at sunset, is the text:

BBL DISTRIBUTION, INC.

Below is a copyright notice, as well as links for the Bold and the Beautiful social media pages and the URL "www.boldandbeautiful.com".

Technique: Live-action for the background.

Audio: Same as the previous logo. Oddly, Network 10 broadcasts in Australia continue to use the end of the 2010 theme tune, even after it was replaced during the show's 30th anniversary in 2017.

Availability: Seen on current international airings of The Bold and The Beautiful.
