'''Thames Video''' was the home video imprint of [[Thames (UK)|Thames]], the weekday franchise holder for ITV in London. The division was founded in 1978, and later merged with newly-founded distributor [[Video Collection International (UK)|The Video Collection]] in 1985, reducing the Thames name under a label titled Thames Video Collection, which later reverted back to Thames Video in 1991, which VCI continued to use even after Thames lost their ITV franchisee, and continued to release videos under their name until 1999, when VCI's deal with Pearson Television expired. | '''Thames Video''' was the home video imprint of [[Thames (UK)|Thames]], the weekday franchise holder for ITV in London.

'''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.
