'''Logo:''' On a {{color|blue}} spotlight background, we see a still version of the Thames XXI logo, except the bottom triangle is wordless. Below it was the text reading either "{{Font|Times New Roman|''THAMES TELEVISION PRESENTATION/PRODUCTION''}}" or the text "{{Font|Times New Roman|''THAMES TELEVISION PRODUCTION/PROGRAMME FOR''}}" and the then-newly-introduced 1989 ITV logo appears below.

* There was also a version with "INTERNATIONAL" replacing "TELEVISION". The name is put on a separate bar, and the logo takes up more of the screen with no other words around it. Oddly enough, this version was seen on ''Avenger Penguins'' (the first show produced by Cosgrove Hall after Thames had lost their broadcasting license at the end of 1992). However, it was not seen on the original airing, instead featuring [[Granada Television (UK)|Granada Television]]'s "stripe" end board. This also appears on the Arena Home Entertainment VHS release of ''Lorna Doone'' as well.

* A variant with just the logo appears on a early 2000s print of the second season of ''Avenger Penguins'' as well.

'''FX/SFX:''' None.

===5th Logo (1997-2002)===
