Tiger Aspect Productions

Background
Tiger Aspect Productions is a British film and television production company founded by Peter Bennett-Jones in 1988 as Tiger Television. The company did not yet use an onscreen logo until 1989. They are particularly known for its sitcoms, though it also specialized in shows from other genres. In 1993, it was then merged with Aspect Film & Television to form its current name. In June 2006, the company was purchased by IMG Media, but was later sold to the UK division of Endemol in November 2009. It is currently owned by Banijay since 2020. The company also has a theatrical division called Tiger Aspect Films (shown on-screen as Tiger Aspect Pictures) and three divisions specialising in comedy, drama and family.

(1989-January 10, 1994)
Logo: On an orange marble background is a box with blue tiger stripes and below that is the text:

A Times New Roman Times New Roman PRODUCTION or Times New Roman Times New Roman PRODUCTION

and below that is the copyright and network info. The pattern of the tiger stripes changes differently throughout the time, the length and the duration of the logo.

Variants:
 * On episodes 8 and 9 of Mr. Bean, an in-credit notice for Thames and Central Independent Television is shown.
 * Sometimes, the logo zooms out to reveal it was in a box with copyright info shown below.
 * On the obscure BBC show Funny Business, this logo shares the screen with the 1988 BBC logo.

FX/SFX: Just the animation of the tiger stripes.

Music/Sounds: Usually none or the closing theme of the series, though sometimes, the sound of a tiger growling is heard.

Availability: Rare.
 * It might be replaced with the Tiger Aspect Productions logo on current prints of shows, but this can be found on VHS and DVD releases of the short-lived series Mr. Bean.
 * It was also seen on other shows, like the obscure BBC show Funny Business and The Movie Life of George.

Editor's Note: None.

1st Logo (May 4, 1993-February 12, 1999)
Logo: On a paper background, we see a black and orange drawing of a tiger's eye above, roughly resembling the letters "TA". The eye blinks slowly. Below it are the words "Times New Roman" with "Times New Roman" below, all in italics, and the network/copyright info. Sometimes it differently reads "Times New Roman".

Variants:
 * A long version exists where it draws the tiger's eye as it opens, then the company's name fades in.
 * Sometimes, the logo is still or it had no network/copyright info below.
 * During the first use of this logo, the background had more lighting.
 * Sometimes, the logo also shares the screen with the other logos.

FX/SFX: Just the eye moving.

Music/Sounds: None, the closing theme of the series, or the audio from the previous logo.

Availability: Uncommon.
 * Appeared on episodes 10-14 of the short-lived Mr. Bean, as well as on The Thin Blue Line.
 * It also appears on Harry Enfield and Chums and The Vicar of Dibley.
 * Don't expect to see this on the 1997 film Bean: The Ultimate Disaster Movie, which is used as a in-credit logo.
 * It made its broadcast debut on two television shows produced for Meridian Television: Coltrane in a Cadillac and The Village.

Editor's Note: None.

2nd Logo (November 16, 1998-)
Logo: On a black background, in its upper part, the words "tiger" and "aspect" in a compressed lowercase font, slide from opposite directions in a gray rectangle and join. The word "PRODUCTIONS" fits below the text. The lower part of the screen is taken by broadcasting and co-productions text, like the BBC and other studios. Also, the very down screen has a copyright name and year, which is later changed to Roman numerals.

Variants:
 * There is a filmed version, which instead has a metallic rectangle and "aspect" in salad green. It has the word "PICTURES" instead of "PRODUCTIONS".
 * Sometimes, the logo is still.
 * An in-credit still version exists.
 * The logo is used without a rectangle sometimes, and it has a slightly different sliding animation.
 * It also sometimes shares the screen with other logos.
 * The words "tiger" and "PRODUCTIONS" can be in black or white with the latter below in grey.
 * Sometimes, the word "aspect" in the Tiger Aspect Productions logo can be in red orange.
 * A still variant on a white background exists. This was seen on Playhouse Disney airings of Charlie and Lola.
 * On drama shows, the word "PRODUCTIONS" is replaced by "DRAMA".
 * A rare split-screen variant exists where the logo alongside all the other notices are on the left whereas the right is the smoke background that contains the show's end credits.
 * On some shows made in Scotland, the word "PRODUCTIONS" is replaced by "SCOTLAND".
 * On season 1 of Mr. Bean: The Animated Series, an in-credit notice for Richard Purdum Productions and Varga Holdings appears next to the logo.

FX/SFX: The words sliding.

Music/Sounds: Either a clanging whoosh sound with a different-sounding tiger growling, the previous tiger's growling from the last two logos, none, or the opening/closing theme of the show or movie.

Music/Sounds Variants:
 * On Playhouse Disney airings of Charlie and Lola, the tail end of the closing theme is trimmed down to four notes.
 * On seasons 1-3 of Mr. Bean: The Animated Series, we hear Mr. Bean (voiced by Rowan Atkinson) offscreen, making a angry grunt.
