Tiger Aspect Productions

Logo descriptions by EnormousRat, JamsterYT, and Logophile

Background: Tiger Aspect Productions is a British television production company founded by Peter Bennett-Jones in 1988 as Tiger Television. They are particularly known for it's sitcoms, though it also specialized in shows from other genres. In 1994, it was renamed to it's current name. In June 2006, the company was purchased by IMG Media, but was sold to the UK division of Endemol in November 2009.

and below that is copyright and network info. The pattern of the tiger stripes change throughout the duration of the logo.

Tiger Aspect Productions:

1st Logo (April 25, 1994-February 12, 1999)

Logo: On a paper background, we see black and orange drawing of A and a tiger eye above (probably the line above the eye resembles the letter T). The eye blinks slowly. Below, there are words A TIGER ASPECT with PRODUCTION below, all in italics, and the network/copyright info.

Variant: The very first use had no animation and broadcasting marks.

FX/SFX: The eye moving.

Music/Sounds: None.

Availability: Uncommon. Appeared on Mr. Bean episode 10 and onwards, as well as on Thin Blue Line. Also seen on Harry Enfield and Chums.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (September 9, 1999- )

Logo: On a black background, in its upper part, words "tiger" and "aspect" in compressed lowercase font, slide from opposite directions in a gray rectangle and join. We can see PRODUCTIONS fit below. The lower part of the screen is taken by broadcasting and co-productions text, like BBC and other studios. Later appearances have an IMG byline, but after the sale to Endemol, it can no more appear. Also, the very down screen has a copyright name and year, later changed to Roman numerals.

Variants: Bylines:
 * There is a filmed version, which has no rectangle and aspect in salad green. It has the word "pictures" instead of "productions".
 * An IMG byline would appear below the line from 2006 to 2009.
 * An Endemol byline appears since 2009.
 * Sometimes, the logo is still.
 * An in-credit still version exists.
 * The logo is used without a rectangle sometimes.
 * "tiger" and "productions" can be in black or white.
 * Before 2006: None.
 * 2006-2009: "an IMG media company" (with IMG in corporate font).
 * 2009: "AN IMG ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY" in common font.
 * 2009-2016: "an endemol company" with Endemol logo at the left.
 * Since 2016: "Part of EndemolShineGroup" (in corporate font).

FX/SFX: The words sliding.

Music/Sounds: None or the closing theme.

Availability: Common. Seen on every show produced, starting with Let Them Eat Cake, Gimme Gimme Gimme, Teachers, Charlie and Lola, and most recently seen on Robin Hood. The filmed version appears on movies, like The Martins, usually at the end. Plasters the previous logos on Hulu’s prints of Mr. Bean.
