'''Visuals:''' There is the same generic Granada {{color|darkviolet|purple}} end card with their corporate logo used by all other [[Granada_Media_Group|Granada]]-owned regions during this era. The Chevron is used for the shadow copies in the background while the purple square also contains a white Chevron. The text reads "A Yorkshire Television Production".
'''Nicknames:''' "Purple Chevron"


'''Variants:'''
'''Logo:''' We see the same Granada {{Font color|purple|purple}} end card with the corporate logo used by all other [[ITV Studios (UK)|Granada]]-owned regions, however, the shadow copies are of the Yorkshire chevron symbol, and the square has the white Yorkshire chevron inside with the text reads "A Yorkshire Television Production".
* This could sometimes be seen sharing the screen with ITV's generic "smokey" end credits. This was phased out in 2002 as ITV began using a new style of generic end credits.
* Occasionally, a co-producers name could also be seen under the Yorkshire Television text. Some variants include:
** Excelsior (Seasons 9-11, and some prints of earlier seasons of ''A Touch of Frost'')
** Water Lane Productions (Episode 1 of ''The Booze Cruise'')
** The Isle of Man Film Commission (''The Second Quest'')
** Excelsior and WGBH/Boston (Season 2 of ''My Uncle Silas''). This variant also has a copyright notice below.

* On some Season 11 episodes of ''Heartbeat'', the text is rephrased to "A Granada Production". The Granada logo is also removed from the bottom.
* Another rare variant where the Granada logo underneath is replaced by the "ITV Studios Limited" text also exists, which is seen on current ITV Studios-era prints of ''A Touch of Frost''.
* On Season 2 episodes of ''Fat Friends'', the Chevron background is missing (and is instead replaced by the same plain background seen on the LWT endcaps ''Agatha Christie's Poirot'' used) and the Rollem Productions and 1998 Tiger Aspect Productions logos are seen superimposed next to the Yorkshire Logo. The text is also rephrased here to "Rollem Productions in association with Tiger Aspect Productions and Yorkshire Television". The Granada logo is also not seen at the bottom of this variant.

'''Technique:''' A still CGI render.

'''Audio:''' The ending theme of the programme or none.

'''Availability:''' Seen on programmes by Yorkshire from the time-period until 2004.
* Examples include ''Countdown'', ''Heartbeat'', ''Emmerdale'', ''The Royal'', ''A Touch of Frost'', and the 2003 TV movie ''The Brides in the Bath'', among others.
* The variant where the Yorkshire Television text is reworded was seen on an October 28, 2001 Yorkshire Television airing of ''Heartbeat''.
* The Excelsior co-production variant is seen on episodes of ''A Touch of Frost'' from the era and has also been used to plaster older Yorkshire Television logos on said series.
** The variant with the "ITV Studios Limited" text was also used to plaster over the original version with the "GRANADA" text on current prints of ''A Touch of Frost'' episodes from that era.
