'''Availability:''' Extinct. These ABC programmes have fallen victim to wiping when Rediffusion and ABC merged together to form Thames in 1968.

'''Availability:''' Rare. It exists on DVDs of ''The Avengers'' (the 1962 and 1963 seasons). Other ABC programmes featuring the logo have fallen victim to wiping when Rediffusion and ABC merged in 1968.

'''Availability:''' Found on ''The Avengers'' '64 DVD set, and it appears on ''The Avengers'' from the 1964 (last Catherine Gale) and 1965 (B&W Emma Peel) seasons. It was also seen on the ABC run of ''Callahan''. Again, other ABC programs have fallen victim to wiping when Rediffusion and ABC merged with Thames in 1968.

'''Availability:''' Can be found at the end of every colour episode of ''The Avengers'' when reran on television and on DVD. The colour episodes were produced by the Associated British Corporation for airing on overseas networks between 1966 until the ITV franchises changed in 1968 (the original UK airings would of been in B&W).

'''Availability:''' Still saved on most shows, like ''The Bill'', ''Danger Mouse'', ''The Wind in the Willows'', ''Count Duckula'', ''Rainbow'', ''The Sooty Show'', ''Rumpole of the Bailey'' and ''The Sweeney'', among others. It was also seen on the 1970s UK version of ''The Tomorrow People'', ''Love Thy Neighbor'', 'George and Mildred'', ''Man About the House'' and series 1 of ''Everybody's Equal'', among others.

===3rd Logo (September 4, 1989-September 2, 1990)===

'''Availability:''' Rare. It appears on Thames shows such as ''The Bill'', ''This Is Your Life'' and ''Harold Lloyd: The Third Genius'', among many others. It was also originally seen on season 3 (1989-90) episodes of ''Count Duckula'', however it does not appear on the DVD release, nor does it not appear on VHS releases as they are often deleted out, or plastered over by either [[Thames Video (UK)|Thames Video]]'s first logo or Cosgrove Hall Productions' second logo (which was extended on the DVD release). It also appears on 1989 episodes of ''Never The Twain'' and is intact whenever Forces TV airs this. Season 1 episodes of ''French Fields'' kept this intact on [[Play UK (UK)|UK Play]] and whenever [[Alibi (UK)|Alibi]] decides to air it. The B&W variant of the "THAMES TELEVISION PRODUCTION FOR CHANNEL FOUR" endcap was also seen on a TCM airing of the 1921 film ''The Blot'' as well.
