Associated-Rediffusion Productions

Background
Associated-Rediffusion Productions was formed as a new company in 1994 by Victor Lewis-Smith, who acquired the name and trademark to Associated-Rediffusion. This company produces comedy series and documentaries.

1st Logo (December 19, 1996-October 30, 2000)
Nicknames: "Another Quality Production", "Parody Spinning Star", "Satirical Adastral"

Logo: On a white cardboard, we see the Adastral star in black with a human hand twisting the star counterclockwise, sometimes missing contact with it. "Times New Roman" and "Times New Roman" in white then fade in at the top and bottom respectively. Shortly after, the star falls from the cardboard box as the hand leaves the screen.

Variant: On later episodes of series 1 of Ads Infinitum, the logo crossfades to the company as well as the BBC's in-credit notice.

FX/SFX: Live-action.

Music/Sounds: An upbeat jingle with backup choir singing "Another swell TV show from Associated-Rediffusion!".

Music/Sounds Variant: On the Ads Infinitum episode "Christmas Presents Past", a dreamy horn fanfare plays with twinkling at the end.

Availability: Extinct.
 * Seen on Ads Infinitum and TV Offal.

Editor's Note: The humorous take on the famous spinning star and jingle makes this one a favorite of many.

2nd Logo (January 11, 2000-)
Logo: This is the same as the 1955 Rediffusion London logo except "presents" is replaced with "Production" and the logo is in a different font.

Variants: An Associated Rediffusion Television Production for Five
 * Sometimes, the text doesn't scroll and remains in place.
 * On Scandal in the Bins, it appears in a split-screen format as it is squished and shares the screen with the 1999 Channel 4 logo. A copyright notice is added below Associated-Rediffusion's logo.
 * On BBC programmes (specifically BBC Wales), the logo is normal and appears above the 1997 BBC logo with the copyright notice appearing below the 1997 BBC logo.
 * Sometimes the logo appears in a split-screen format.
 * On Michael Carroll: King of Chavs, the logo is superimposed into the last shot of the documentary with it also having a black glow, alongside "Television" being added before "Production".
 * On Keith Allen Will Burn in Hell, the same wording from the above variant adds "for Channel 4" underneath.
 * On Keith Meets Keith, the bottom text is in an alternate font, resembling the Times New Roman font. It also uses the above variant's wording except "for" and "Channel 4" (now called "Channel 4 Television") are in different rows.
 * On A Very British Apocalypse, the logo is to the right of the Channel 5 logo with its bottom text reading:

Plus, the star is still. Times New Roman
 * On In Confidence, the bottom text is simply the company's name without any article words. 2011 episodes adds "Television" before "Productions" and the text is in a stacked format.
 * On The Undiscovered Kenneth Williams, the standard logo is squished.
 * On Steve McQueen: The Lost Movie, the star is smaller and the bottom text reads:

FX/SFX: Same as the 1955 Rediffusion London logo where the star is spinning and the text slides.

Music/Sounds: Rather than the 1955 Rediffusion logo's jingle, the 1964 logo's theme was used here.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * Some shows would have the last half of the 1st logo plays while transitioning from the end credits theme.
 * Sometimes, it's the ending theme of the programme or none.

Availability:
 * One of its earliest appearances was on the TV movie Scandal in the Bins as well as Omnibus.
 * The BBC variants were seen on The Undiscovered Peter Cook and Here's a Piano I Prepared Earlier.
 * The variant with the 1st logo's music was seen on The Annual BARFTA Awards and Keith Meets Keith.

Editor's Note: This is a nice callback to the old Rediffusion London logos.

3rd Logo (June 10, 2017)
Logo: On a blue background with film noise, the Adastral star from before in white slides from the right and spins. Shortly after, a white tube with a thick black outline fades in with the star inside a blue tube box and to the right is a black tube box reading "REDIFFUSION LONDON" with a line separating the two. Then, the logo zooms out to reveal the whole logo and when the word "COLOUR" fades in, the star stops spinning and the film noise effect is no longer applied.

FX/SFX: 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: A third into the logo, the burp of a man is heard in which he apologizes "Sorry" afterwards. Then, a cut version of the 1st logo's theme with the choir singing "Associated Rediffusion!" is played.

Availability: Only seen on the video VLS as BATMAN, which can be seen on the channel's Vimeo account.
