'''Logo:''' On a {{color|gold|yellow}} background, we see the text "{{color|blue|THE OPEN UNIVERSITY}}" in Optima, centered on the bottom of the screen. Then, a {{color|blue}} circle rotates onto the background while two parts of a rounded shield wipe in. The circle rotates until it appears as a {{color|gold|yellow}} circle, forming the Open University logo.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, shining rays are seen coming out a black circle, looking like a solar eclipse. A bright light then shines on the circle, revealing the shield and a translucent black bar with either the [[BBC One|BBC1]] or [[BBC Two|BBC2]] logo at the time. The light then changes position and the bar becomes solid. The light then disappears and some {{color|blue}} and white clouds appear behind it. The shield then changes to {{color|gold|yellow}} and {{color|blue}} and "{{color|blue|The Open University}}" appears below.

'''Logo:''' On a {{color|gold|yellow}} blueprint background, the familiar OU shield is seen with "The Open University" in the same font as before below it, the 1997 BBC logo above and the copyright line below all. All but the OU logo disappears, which zooms in and the name crumples. The logo then gains glasses, a mouth, an eye, hair, and a body wearing a lab coat typing on a computer and holding a beaker surrounded by science stuff, including a violin. He moves a bit and the pictures change to become a geographer with a ponytail, dress, jacket, and {{color|gold|yellow}} lips holding some kind of case and binoculars surrounded by geography stuff. She moves a bit and blinks her eye before she and the pictures change to a construction worker with a nose, mouth, hard hat, plaid shirt, and different pictures. The construction worker is holding a walkie-talkie and a clipboard. He then moves and talks into the walkie-talkie and everything disappears but the shield. The name uncrumples itself and then lays flat.

'''Logo:''' On a black background, {{color|green|greenish}} {{color|blue}} waves are seen faintly forming the Open University shield, then unraveling as they expand. In the bottom right is the actual OU shield in shiny {{color|lightblue|light blue}}, which then fades out and "The Open University" in a different font with the website URL above flashes in its place.

'''Logo:''' The Open University shield from before rotates into view, with the name (in the same font as the 2nd and 3rd logos) now positioned to the right of it at a 90 degree angle. It is usually seen with the BBC logo and another co-prodicer.

'''Logo:''' On a white background, "The Open University" in the 4th logo font fades in with "Free open learning {{color|lightblue|open.edu/youtube}}" underneath. The OU shield from before rotates into view to the left of the text, which after a while fades out and the shield follows suit.
