Channel Television Productions

1st Logo (September 1, 1962-Mid 1960's)

Visuals: On a black background, there is a redrawn version of the 1962 leopard logo on top of "Channel Television Production".

Variants:

An inverted variant exists.
At the opening of programmes, "Production" is replaced with "Presents".

Technique: A still, printed image.

Audio: The opening/ending theme of the programme or none.

Availability:

The channel has little known programmes throughout its lifespan.
Not helping either is that programmes from this period were wiped out and lost to time.
It was seen on Island Farmer, among a few others.

2nd Logo (Mid 1960's-1976?)

Visuals: Usually, the logo consists of the text "CHANNEL COLOUR PRODUCTION" in a stacked format. It is surrounded by a shape which differs depending on the programme.

Variants:

One programme has the text within a gold box with a blue tube shape in the centre while against a background in the same colour as the latter shape.
In another variant, the background is teal and the text is within a split hot pink tube shape with a hexagon cut out in the centre.

Technique: A still, printed image.

Audio: The ending theme of the programme or none.

Availability: Unknown. It was seen on a 2010s ITV News video, but what programme originally had this logo has yet to be stated.

3rd Logo (1970)

Visuals: Just the text "FROM CHANNEL" in black on a orange background.

Technique: A still, printed image.

Audio: The opening/ending theme of the programme.

Availability: Seen on The Bitter Years.

4th Logo (July 26, 1976-1987)

- A blue background variant of this version also exists.
In 1988, the background is now black and the text may either now be in Times New Roman or would say "CHANNEL TELEVISION" in the same font, with "© Copyright 1988" below in the same font as the previous version.
For programmes produced for Channel 4, the CTV logo is smaller and the text reads "A Channel Television Production for Channel Four".

Technique: A still, computerized graphic.

Audio: The ending theme of the programme or none.

Availability: Seen on programmes by Channel Television from the time-period until 1989.

6th Logo (September 1, 1989-1993)
