* The ITC library was, at the time this was first compiled, in the hands of [[Carlton Television]], a company not known for preserving logos or even other corporate identities (it renamed two of its UK television stations, [[Central Independent Television|Central]] (the former ATV) and [[Westcountry Television|Westcountry]] under the Carlton name in the late 1990s; the names of those stations were reinstated after Carlton merged with [[ITV Studios|Granada]] in 2003), and some shows which had the logo have been updated with the 1987 ITC logo or other company logos.

** On ''The Muppet Show'', originally an ITC/ATV-Henson Associates co-production, the scene with the ITC in-credit notice was re-shot to update the in-credit notice with a newer one. However, the first season's variant was surprisingly kept on the Peter Ustinov episode on German DVD releases of ''The Muppet Show'', and the variant used from the second season can be found on VHS releases of "Gonzo Presents Muppet Weird Stuff" in Spain ("Gonzo y sus extrañas aventuras"). All modern prints of the show remove this logo completely.
