Editor's Note: TBA. ITV Studios

1st Logo (2009-2013)[]

ITV Studios (2009)
WGBH (2012)
ITV Studios America (2011)
ITV Studios Global Entertainment (2010)

Logo: On a black background, we see a three-dimensional blue and purple curved design, that resembles an aurora, appear with the ITV logo and a larger text that reads "STUDIOS" appearing inside the opening of the design.

Variants:

  • On Countdown, the logo is still and appears as an in credit logo and 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 version with GLOBAL or Global Entertainment would have exists.
  • A still version exists.

FX/SFX: The aurora and words popping up. For the Countdown variant, the scrolling in the credits. A still version also exists.

Music/Sounds: A synth choir or the end theme of the show. A silent 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. The Global Entertainment variant would (infamously) become the norm for plastering previous ITV companies logos on shows like Sherlock Holmes and Jeeves and Wooster, while it usually follows the Central endboards on 1993-1997 episodes of Sharpe (save for the first episode where it plasters over the Central endboard). The GLOBAL variant would have seen at the end a Movie Channel airing of Friendly Fire, The Last Warrior on TubiTV, a ITV4 airing of Tommy Cooper, a Multicom's print of When He Didn't Come Home, a 2009 TV movie Held Hostage, a August 2010 ITV1 airing of Bertie & Elizabeth, The Red Shoes on TCM and 2010 DVD release, The Christmas Hope and Black Narcissus.

Editor's Note: While a nicely animated logo, the Global Entertainment variant is often infamous (similar to the hated Sony Pictures Television logo) for sometimes plastering over previous ITV companies logos at times.

2nd Logo (January 14, 2013-2020)[]

ITV Studios (2013)

Logo: On a white background, we see the 2013 ITV logo and the word "S T U D I O S" appear letter by letter. Two curved shadows slide in as well.

Variants:

  • 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.

FX/SFX: The letters fading/flipping and shadows sliding in.

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.

Availability: It depends on the variant:

  • 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 over the Anglia 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. It's can be seen at the end Virgin Media Three airing of Freshman Father and Penny Princess (plasters over the Granada International logo), and a 2019 Sony Channel airing of Three Weeks and Three Kids and some prints of Bertie and Elizabeth (has a Belgian airing 2004 Granada International or 2009 ITV Global logos) and Filmrise print of Husband for Wire (during the plastering over Oxygen and Granada America logos) and Walking the Halls. 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 is starting to plaster the previous ITV Studios logo on 2010-onwards episodes of The Chase when repeated on Challenge.
  • International Variants:
    • The American version can be seen on episodes of The Bill Cunningham Show, Hell's Kitchen, Kitchen Nightmares, and America Now from the time period, 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, while the later "Finland" variant could be seen in Elossa 24h.

Editor's Note: TBA.

3rd Logo (2020-)[]
