Touch Productions

Background
Touch Productions was a British television production company founded by Malcolm Brinkworth in 1987. They would shut down in early 2015, which by then Brinkworth left to found Brinkworth Films.

1st Logo (16 September 1988-24 January 2005)
Logo: On a dimly lit background, a stylized, minimalist drawing of a little girl's head is shown. Two boxes are then drawn behind the sketch, each of which consist of scribbles: a square and a  rectangle. Then, the text "Times New Roman" fades in, alongside other in-credit information.

Variants:
 * A still version exists.
 * An early version has the logo on a white background and the font in a different serif typeface.
 * On 2000's programmes co-produced with Channel 4, the logo is is positioned on the left.
 * On some programmes co-produced with the BBC, the drawing is inside a box and the text "A Touch Production" is outside and underneath it.
 * OJ Simpson: The Untold Story features the drawing inside a bigger box.
 * On The Herders of Mongun-Taiga, the drawing's size is reduced.

Technique: 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: None or the ending theme of the programme.

Availability: Extremely rare, despite lasting for more than 15 years. A lot of their documentaries and TV shows are gone and unavailable for viewing on either home media or through on-demand. A possible way to find this logo currently is through arranging a visit to a BFI venue. Although they have almost all known releases from the company in their collection, requesters are required to view the material on the premises rather than online, meaning these programmes could not be privately obtained. These include Car Thieves, the Q.E.D. documentary Simon's Triumph, and The Missing Chink. Beasts Of The Roman Games also has this logo and is intact on archival sites like Screenocean. The cropped variant was seen on BBC documentaries such as Afghan Warrior: The Life and Death of Abdul Haq and Thatcher and the Coup that Failed, the latter of which would be the logo's final appearance.

2nd Logo (4 June 2005-2012?)
Logo: Inside a white box, the blue text "touch productions" fade in, alongside a vertical blue bar to the left. Shortly before completely appearing, the face of the little girl sketch from before wipes in.

Variants:
 * A superimposed variant exists where the logo is seen without the white box.
 * On Marathon Boy, the logo is monochromatic.

Technique: 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: None or the ending theme of the programme.

Availability: Ultra rare. There are even less programmes that are known to use this logo, all of which have the same fate as Touch's other documentaries. They include Our Survey Says: The Ultimate Game Show Moments. the Mindshock documentary "Transplanting Heart Memories", and Marathon Boy.

3rd Logo (2012?-19 November 2014)
Logo: Inside a white box are the letters with a paint-like texture: "TOUCH".

Variant: On programmes co-produced with Channel 5, the logo is aligned to the right side of the screen.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: None or the ending theme of the programme.

Availability: Only known to have appeared on the first two series of ''Can't Pay? We'll Take It Away!''. The remaining series would be produced by Brinkworth Films.
