Channel 4 Television

Background
Channel 4 Television is the production arm of Channel 4.

1st Logo (November 2, 1982-1999)
Logo: A shortened version of the 1982 Channel 4 ID from the era.

Variants:
 * An in-credit notice where we see the 1982 Channel 4 logo over "CHANNEL FOUR TELEVISION".
 * A still 2D version of the 1982 logo exists on a black background with a copyright notice underneath.

Technique: Same as the 1982 Channel 4 logo. Most of the time, the logo is still.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the programme or none.

Availability:
 * Channel 4 co-produced programs at the time usually do not have the 1982 logo in their end credits but rather an in-credit notice of the channel, making this really hard to find, especially when only very few shows are known to use said logo.
 * The normal version was spotted on Hullabaloo, in which VHS releases of said show preserve this logo, whereas the variant was seen on The Mind of David Berglas where it is paired with the aforementioned Tyne Tees logo.
 * The early still variant was only known to have appeared on very early Channel 4 co-produced programmes such as The Body Show.
 * The normal animated logo was found on series 1 of Bob & Margaret.

 * It was only seen on The Real Sex Traffic.

Cities would have the dot (in the same color as the region variants) in a pulse animation. There is bottom text underneath, reading:

Variants: A Merman Production for Amazon in association with Channel 4 Since the Channel 4 name was already mentioned above, the bottom notice excludes said name and simply states the filming locations.
