1st Logo

(1950s)

 

 

2nd Logo

(1980s-1989)

 

 

 

3rd Logo

(September 1, 1989-October 4, 1998)

 

    Anglia Television: Three blue and two yellow triangles from the "flag", together with some of the turquoise background. This was not used on-air, probably because too little of the Anglia flag was used.

    Border Television: Part of the "B" in the Border logo, in light blue, against a dark blue background. Used until 1993.

    Central: The rainbow colours in the "CGI cake". Used sparingly until 1990.

    Channel Television: Part of the "C" from the "CTV stripes", in yellow, against a blue background. This was not used on-air.

    Grampian Television: Most of the Scottish saltire, with the bottom section of the triangle in a lighter shade of blue. Used until 1998, longer than any of the other variants.

    Granada: The upper part of the "G-arrow", in yellow with a section missing, against a purple background. This was not used on-air, probably because the line connecting the arrowhead was missing.

    HTV (Cymru Wales, West): The "H" from the "aerial", against a background of two shades of blue. This was not used on-air.

    LWT: The blue, white and red stripes, with the upper left secton of the triangle in grey. Used until 1992.

    Scottish Television: The lower right part of the "thistle", in light blue, against a dark blue background. Used until December 1989.

    TVS Television: The "S" from the TVS logotype, in silvery blue, against a background of whitish grey on the left and dark blue on the right. This was again, not used on-air.

    Television South West: The upper part of the "hills" with part of the blue stripe at the bottom. This was also not used on-air.

    Thames Television: The London landmarks against a blue background, with three wavy blue lines below representing the river Thames, and the bottom section of the triangle in dark orange. Used until 1990 (see below).

    Tyne Tees: The left part of the "TTTV", in blue, against a yellow background (evoking their "Flowing Rivers" ident from 1988). Used until 1991.

    Ulster Television: Part of the blue border and yellow zigzag from the version of the "oscilloscope" then used, against a whitish grey background. Once again, this was not used on-air.

    Yorkshire Television: The left half of the yellow chevron against a dark blue background. Used until 1990 (see below).

 

 

    On occasion, the default logo would be used, which had no franchise name displayed at the bottom and had an ordinary blue triangle with three lines cut into its left side. (a la the VIVA Films logo).

    Central used a variant which combined the company's existing "CGI Cake" animation with the ITV animation. This did not use the David Dundas music.

    Granada did not use its ITV logo, but did occasionally use a variant combining its existing logo with the default logo above.

    HTV also had their ITV logos re-edited to consist simply of the "aerial" on the river, with the station name quickly moving in below from the left of the screen, this re-edited version lasted until December 1992.

    Thames unveiled a new triangle logo during 1990 and consequently incorporated it into a second version of its ITV logo, which was used only before networked programmes until October 1991.

    Yorkshire in September 1991 had its ITV logo re-edited, so that the chevron appeared in place of the triangle before moving to the center of the screen as "ITV" faded out. This was used until 1994.

 

Music/Sounds/Variant: Central' ITV logo used the company's existing jingle instead of the David Dundas music, or it was mixed up with central own ident.

 

4th Logo

(November 8, 1999-October 28, 2002)

 

    If the franchise's logo was separate from their name (e.g. Granada's G symbol), it would appear above the franchise's name.

    For continuity announcements during nighttime programs, a default version would be used, in which the ITV logo would only be displayed.

    There would be some golden panels used in the daytime, and in the nighttime, they would be all blue.

    Starting on August 11, 2001, during the switch to ITV1, the ITV1 logo appears below, which has the "1" inside a yellow square.

    Sometimes, the short film is skipped, and this animation is used instead. The franchise name/logo appears via a Matrix-like "digitizing" effect.

    Sometimes the short film/logo animation is skipped, leaving the logo fully formed and the synth music playing. This is usually used for some continuity announcements.

    Later versions bear the franchise or network's URL at the bottom or bottom-right corner of the screen. The itv.com URL is in white, and has a similar look to the ITV/ITV1 logo.

Availability: Uncommon. This was used in tandem with the last Granada logo, with this logo being used on ITV-produced shows airing on their channels. One example being Season 3 of Blue Murder.

 

1st Logo

(2009-2013)

 

    On Countdown, the logo scrolls up in the credits in its own black box, along with a copyright stamp below that reads "© ITV STUDIOS LIMITED [year]."

    On programmes co-produced with WGBH in Boston, Massachusetts, below the logo is small text that reads "in association with," with the WGBH logo below in blue.

    There is a white background version used for the video game adaptation of Nanny 911, with "Global Entertainment" written below. The similar version with only "GLOBAL" was used on Countdown for the Nintendo DS.

    For its American division, the word "America" is seen below.

    A still version exists.

 

Availability: Common. Seen on various ITV made shows including the first few seasons of The Chase, episodes of Countdown from this time period, as well as the American ultra short-lived series Sit Down, Shut Up. The American variant was seen on U.S. shows since 2010 including Hell's Kitchen, Kitchen Nightmares, America Now, The Jeremy Kyle Show, Prime Suspect, and The Bill Cunningham Show among others. The version with a white background is seen on the Nanny 911 game. This also appeared on the short-lived sitcom Family Tools.

 

 

2nd Logo

(January 14, 2013- )

Variant: For its American and Australia divisions, either "AMERICA™", "AUSTRALIA" or "NORDIC" (depending on the region) appears below in the same matter as "S T U D I O S". For programs distributed internationally and on DVD, the words "GLOBAL ENTERTAINMENT" appear below in the same manner as "S T U D I O S". This variant plays slower than the normal logo.

Music/Sounds: A three-note synth theme. Some shows might have the end theme of the program playing over it (episodes of Knightmare on Challenge has the end of the show's theme playing over the "GLOBAL ENTERTAINMENT" logo). An extended version of the theme has the notes drawn out a little longer. On The Chase USA broadcasts on Challenge, a low-tone version of this logo exists of the GLOBAL ENTERTAINMENT variant due to it plastering the ITV Studios America logo, but keeping the original audio.

 

    Normal: Current. Should be at the end of ITV productions in the UK.

    Global Entertainment Version: Common, as this version is normally the variant used to plaster older logos. it plasters the Angelia logo on the first two seasons of Knightmare (seasons 3 and 4 retain the 'Anglia Production for ITV' end card) and the Central logo on various episodes of Family Fortunes on Challenge, as well as the 1994 series of Blockbusters on the same channel. The low-tone version plasters the ITV Studios America logo all season 1 and all but one season 2 episodes of The Chase USA when it airs on Challenge. As of recent, it's starting to plaster the 1st ITV Studios logo on 2010-onwards episodes of The Chase when repeated on Challenge.

    International Variants: For the American version, it can been seen on new episodes of The Bill Cunningham Show, Hell's Kitchen, Kitchen Nightmares, and America Now, and appears as an in-credit logo on The Chase USA. The Australian variant can be seen on I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! on Ten, Shaun Micallef's Mad As Hell on ABC, The Chase Australia and Hell's Kitchen Australia on Seven. The Nordic variant could be spotted on the Finnish talk show Elämää Pelissä on Yle TV1.
