Fremantle

Background
FremantleMedia (doing business as Fremantle) is a British-based media conglomerate company founded in 2000 as a merger of Pearson Television and CLT-UFA; the companies merged to become "RTL Group" and by renaming the production arm to FremantleMedia, who currently owns the All American, Mark Goodson, and Reg Grundy libraries, among other formats. In 2003, FremantleMedia acquired Australian production company Crackerjack Productions, who merged with Grundy Television to form "FremantleMedia Australia". On September 7, 2018, the company changed its onscreen name to simply "Fremantle," though FremantleMedia remains its legal name. Today, Fremantle is a division of the RTL Group, and is 90% owned by German media conglomerate, Bertelsmann SE & Co. KGaA, which is 80.9% owned by the Bertelsmann Foundation and 19.1% owned by the Mohn Family.

1st Logo (May 2002-February 1, 2019; October 29, 2020)
Logo: On a royal blue background, white paint (which looks more like milk or whipped cream) "bubbles" out in the center, then pulls back and to the right as the paint orbits around to form a stylized atom design. The text "FREMANTLEMEDIA", in Futura font with different font weights, blurs in to the left of the atom. Afterwards, 4 white paint drops appear around the atom to complete the logo.

Variants:
 * On North American-produced shows, the words "NORTH AMERICA", in a non-bold Futura typeface, appear right under "FREMANTLEMEDIA" next to the bubble. For Australia, the word "AUSTRALIA" would appear under the name. For Poland, "POLSKA" would appear under the name in a basic font (either Arial or Helvetica).

In the Finnish TV quiz show Voitto kotiin from 2002, the black text and a blue atom are seen quickly fading in on a white background. This variant is also used in games based on TV shows. An in-credit version was seen on the first 2 seasons of Tree Fu Tom, along with the second series of Kate & Mim-Mim (with white text), while season 1 of Kate & Mim-Mim used an in-credit variant with the white background.
 * Another variant of the early version has an enlarged second half of the blue atom on a white background on the first half, beside it is a small FremantleMedia logo. Copyright information is below.
 * The logo is on right such as Philippines Got Talent (blue atom, black text on white background).
 * A long version exists. In this version, a splash of white paint flies through the air, going from left to right. Then, it fades into a scene of two more splashes: one other direction, and the other flying down from left to right. Afterwards, it fades in to what is described in the more commonplace short version.
 * Some versions of this logo are stretched out, such as the one appearing after episodes of The Price Is Right $1,000,000 Spectacular from 2008.

 * On Portugal's O Preco Certo (em Euros), the phrase "Uma producao RTP executada por:" ("An output performed by RTP") appears above the logo, and is true for all shows on RTP from the company.
 * The French version of Going for Gold, titled Questions pour un Champion has the logo superimposed into a blue rippling background, and after it finishes animating, a copyright stamp appears under the logo.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * In other cases, the end-title theme plays over, the generic network theme on CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox or The CW, or it's silent.

 * There is a very short version with the last four notes of the theme.
 * On Challenge's airings of Strike It Lucky in the UK, the end of the theme plays over the logo on the first two seasons; on the third season the logo jingle plays, cutting of the theme music presumably due to a plastering error.
 * A similar variant of this theme exists when Challenge airs the 1995 series of Bruce's Price is Right where it cuts off the theme music due to plastering.
 * On DVD releases of the 1983 television film Adam, the closing theme of this movie is heard, and, after the logo has finished, then the short version of the 1978 Alan Landsburg Productions theme over the finished logo. The ALP logo is seen before the FremantleMedia logo.
 * On Where the Hell's that Gold???!!! on its DVD release, it uses the low tone variant of the 1997 Pearson Television music on the "North America" version, as a result of double plaster.
 * There is a variant that have the long version jingle played on the common variant "paint bubble", thus freeze-frame for a few second.
 * On Komunikata, a voiceover in Indonesia says "Komunikata is a production of FremantleMedia in association with TPI. Nusrin Nuerdin speaking". The closing theme is used (sometimes after the jingle plays).
 * On current prints of Series 1 of Count Duckula, the downpour of rain is heard, this is due to plastering over the 1969 Thames Television logo.

Legacy: The logo is clean and the sounder is relaxing, but it's not a popular logo by many due to its wide prevalence on television, in part due to its plastering older logos, though it's not on the scale of Sony Pictures Television, 20th Television or CBS Television Distribution.

2nd Logo (September 10, 2018-)
Logo: On a black background, two shots fade in and out depicting the letters "Fr" and "e" in white being written out in cursive.

 * A zoomed-in variant also exists as well.
