'''Logo:''' Just a still image of the 1969-1989 Thames Television logo, while the cursive white text "Video" fades in below. There are lines that extend to each side of the screen connected to the word. | '''Logo:''' Just a still image of the 1969-1989 Thames Television logo, while the cursive white text "Video" fades in below.

* This logo could also be seen as a precursor to Thames' "21st Anniversary" ident, which was used from July to September 1989, and survived into the initial version of their "ITV Generic" ident (introduced later that year). | * This logo could also be seen as a precursor to Thames' "21st Anniversary" ident, which was used from July to September 1989, and survived into the initial version of their "ITV Generic" ident (introduced later that year). | ||
''' | '''Technique:''' Everything happening in this logo, including the later addition of "Collection" writing itself in after the VCI merger in 1985. Pretty cool for 2D effects. | ||

'''Logo:''' Against a bright {{color|red}} background, two {{color|silver}} beams of light point upwards. The beams then lower to the center of the screen, one pointing each way. The lights seem to dispel, the background turning a {{color|darkblue|deep blue}}, and form the words "'''THAMES VIDEO COLLECTION'''", with "'''THAMES'''" coming from the middle, "'''VIDEO'''" from the left, and "'''COLLECTION'''" from the right. The three words set into the middle of the screen as two {{color|silver}} bars appear from both sides, resting at the top and bottom of the wording, with the finishing touch being a black marble version of the famous skyline logo topping the logo. | '''Logo:''' Against a bright {{color|red}} background, two {{color|silver}} beams of light point upwards.

* The videos of ''Truckers'' (which edited the thirteen episodes together to form a movie) and ''Victor and Hugo: Bunglers in Crime'' (which only contained three episodes from the first series of 1991) also featured this logo at the end, instead of [[Cosgrove Hall Films|Cosgrove Hall]]'s third logo. | * The videos of ''Truckers'' (which edited the thirteen episodes together to form a movie) and ''Victor and Hugo: Bunglers in Crime'' (which only contained three episodes from the first series of 1991) also featured this logo at the end, instead of [[Cosgrove Hall Films|Cosgrove Hall]]'s third logo. | ||
''' | '''Technique:''' The three differently-colored versions of the logo flying by to reveal the gold one, and the background changing from black to navy blue. | ||
'''Music/Sounds:''' A re-arranged version of the theme from the aforementioned 1990 Thames ident. There are a few added drumbeats in the background, and it ends on the fanfare's last note, without any echo. | '''Music/Sounds:''' A re-arranged version of the theme from the aforementioned 1990 Thames ident.
