'''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:''' Against a {{color|darkblue|dark blue}} background, we see two curvy white stripes and a thinner {{color|blue}} stripe turning in sync with the curve, looking like a road. It then pans out, forming a "V" with lines on the sides, and then an all-white view of London (with Big Ben, the Telecom Tower, St. Paul's Cathedral and Tower Bridge) pops up into view on top of the "V". Then, an outline of the London skyline on the "V" zooms out, which then morphs into "{{color|darkblue|'''THAMES video'''}}" on the view of London. The view of London then "shines" on top. Afterwards, the background darkens a little.

'''Trivia:''' This logo could 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).

'''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 with the background turning {{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:''' On a black background, we see three inverted triangles (one in {{color|red}}/{{color|gold}}, a second in {{color|blue}}/{{color|red}}, and a third in {{color|gold}}/{{color|blue}}) with a view of London (again, featuring Big Ben, the Telecom Tower, St. Paul's Cathedral and Tower Bridge) and "'''THAMES VIDEO'''" on them flying by. A {{color|gold}} version of the logo is then created, and the background changes from black to {{color|navy|navy blue}}.
