'''Logo:''' Against a black background, a triangular shape rises into view from the centre of the screen. As it reveals itself, it looks somewhat like an upside-down Christmas tree shape (two triangles joined together), and the upper triangle has an abstract version of the Thames waterfront scenery against a {{color|blue}} skyline. The lower one is {{color|gold}} in colour, and contains the words "{{color|gold|THAMES XXI}}" ("XXI" is the Roman numeral for 21). As the logo rises, it too has a reflection, though it does not last when it is completely formed. | '''Logo:''' Against a black background, a triangular shape rises into view from the centre of the screen.

* At the end of programmes, the bottom of the smaller triangle is wordless, and the text "THAMES TELEVISION PRESENTATION/PRODUCTION" or (from September 4, 1989) the text "THAMES TELEVISION PRODUCTION/PROGRAMME FOR" and the then-newly-introduced 1989 ITV logo appears below. | |||
* Another production variant features the words "THAMES TELEVISION PRODUCTION FOR CHANNEL FOUR" which was seen on Thames programmes for Channel 4. | |||
* A B&W variant of the above also exists which was seen on a TCM airing of the 1921 film ''The Blot''. | |||
'''FX/SFX:''' None for any of the end-credits variants, but very good computer-generated animation, which is a modernisation of Thames' "Rising Buildings" design. | '''FX/SFX:''' None for any of the end-credits variants, but very good computer-generated animation, which is a modernisation of Thames' "Rising Buildings" design. | ||
