The light bulb quickly stops flashing and remains visible.

'''Technique:''' CGI animation.

'''Music/Sounds:''' The ending theme of the programme.

'''Logo:''' On a dark purple background, an {{color|orange}} planet is shown with a lens flare flying across the screen, eventually flashing and forming the text
<center>AN<br>{{color|violet|{{font|Times New Roman|'''IDEAL<br>WORLD'''}}}}<br>PRODUCTION</center>
Simultaneously, the planet disappears once the lens flare starts forming the logo. As for the logo itself, it has a white glow fill on the top right with the "A"'s crossbar consisting of a long curve, overlapping with the "E"'s middle bar. Additional in-credit information such as a co-producer's name (e.g. Channel 4) and a copyright notice may be shown underneath.

'''Variants:''' 
* On <u>early Channel 4 split-screen variants</u>, "IDEAL" was referred to as "Id" and the curve overlaps with said text.
* On ''<u>Driven</u>'', the word is shortened to "{{Font|Times New Roman|IW}} with a grey bar below with the word "PRODUCTIONS" on it and it appears next to the [[Darlow Smithson Productions]] logo.

'''Technique:''' The lens flare forming the logo.

'''Music/Sounds:''' The ending theme of the programme.

'''Availability:''' Rare; appears on early episodes of ''Location, Location, Location'', ''Thumb Bandits'', ''Deals on Wheels'', and ''Chatham Jack: A Boxing Legend''.
