'''Availability:''' Seen on tapes from the late 1970s and much of the 1980s featuring programs produced by Thames Television (including ''The Benny Hill Show'', ''The Sooty Show'', ''Rainbow'', ''Danger Mouse'', ''Button Moon'', ''The Wind in the Willows'', ''Alias the Jester'', ''Creepy Crawlies'', and ''Count Duckula'' - to name a few). You may also find this logo paired with that of Lollipop Video on certain tapes of the sixth and ninth shows, given that they were aimed primarily at children. The final tape to use this is ''Benny Hill's One Night Video Stand''. Don't expect to see this on the first Thames offerings from [[Thorn EMI Video (UK)|Thorn EMI]], including their first volume of ''The Best of Benny Hill''. | '''Availability:''' Seen on tapes from the late 1970s and much of the 1980s featuring programs produced by Thames Television (including ''The Benny Hill Show'', ''The Sooty Show'', ''Rainbow'', ''Danger Mouse'', ''Button Moon'', ''The Wind in the Willows'', ''Alias the Jester'', ''Creepy Crawlies'', and ''Count Duckula'' - to name a few).

'''Logo:''' Against a bright {{Font color|red|red}} background, two {{Font color|silver|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 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 {{Font color|silver|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 {{Font color|red|red}} background, two {{Font color|silver|silver}} beams of light point upwards.
