Tiger Aspect Productions (UK)

 Background : Tiger Aspect Productions is a British film and television production company founded by Peter Bennett-Jones in 1988 as Tiger Television. The company did not yet use an onscreen logo until 1989. They are particularly known for its sitcoms, though it also specialized in shows from other genres. In 1993, it was then merged with Aspect Film & Television to form its current name. In June 2006, the company was purchased by IMG Media, but was later sold to the UK division of Endemol in November 2009. It is currently owned by Banijay since 2020. The company also has a theatrical division called Tiger Aspect Films (shown on-screen as Tiger Aspect Pictures) and three divisions specialising in comedy, drama and family.

(1989-January 10, 1994)
Logo : On an orange marble background is a box with blue tiger stripes and below that is the text:

A TIGER TELEVISION   PRODUCTION or TIGER TELEVISION  PRODUCTION

and below that is the copyright and network info. The pattern of the tiger stripes changes differently throughout the time, the length and the duration of the logo.

Variants :
 * On episodes 8 and 9 of Mr. Bean, an in-credit notice for Thames and Central Television Enterprises is shown.
 * Sometimes, the logo zooms out to reveal it was in a box with copyright info shown below.

FX/SFX : Just the animation of the tiger stripes.

Music/Sounds : Usually none or the closing theme of the series, though sometimes, the sound of a tiger growling is heard.

Availability : Rare, it might be replaced with the 1st Tiger Aspect Productions logo on current prints of shows, but this can be found on VHS and DVD releases of the short-lived series Mr. Bean. It was also seen on other shows, like the obscure BBC show Funny Business and The Movie Life of George.

Editor's Note : None.

1st Logo (May 4, 1993-February 12, 1999)
Logo : On a paper background, we see a black and orange drawing of a tiger's eye above, roughly resembling the letters "TA". The eye blinks slowly. Below it are the words "A TIGER ASPECT " with "PRODUCTION " below, all in italics, and the network/copyright info. Sometimes it differently reads "TIGER ASPECT PRODUCTIONS ".

Variant : During the first use of this logo, it was still and had no network/copyright info below.

FX/SFX : Just the eye moving.

Editor's Note : None.

2nd Logo (November 16, 1998-)
Logo : On a black background, in its upper part, the words "tiger " and "aspect " in a compressed lowercase font, slide from opposite directions in a gray rectangle and join. The word "PRODUCTIONS " fits below the text. The lower part of the screen is taken by broadcasting and co-productions text, like BBC and other studios. Also, the very down screen has a copyright name and year, which is later changed to Roman numerals.

Variants :
 * There is a filmed version, which instead has a metallic rectangle and "aspect " in salad green. It has the word "PICTURES " instead of "PRODUCTIONS ", and a slightly different sliding animation.
 * Sometimes, the logo is still.

 * The logo is used without a rectangle sometimes.
 * The words "tiger " and "PRODUCTIONS " can be in black or white.
