TVS Productions

Background
This is the production arm of TVS Television.

1st Logo (January 1, 1982-September 4, 1987)
Visuals: On a black background, the flower from the 1982 TVS logo is placed in the middle of the screen. "Times New Roman" is placed below in the corporate font.

Variants:
 * Sometimes, other phrases like "Times New Roman", "Times New Roman" and "Times New Roman" (the latter of which appears at the end of movies and imported programmes) are used.
 * In the logo's early years, the logo is closer to the screen, and a copyright date is added underneath, reading "©(year) Television South plc" or "©TVS (year)".
 * For programmes produced for Channel 4 such as Night Mail 2, either the words "A TVS Production for Channel 4" or "A TVS Production for Channel Four" appear below the logo with the copyright notice reading "©(year) Television South plc" also appearing below as well.
 * On Ultra Quiz, the flower is in a chrome effect.
 * On Bobby Davro's TV Annual, the logo is seen within a TV set against a room full of Christmas decorations. A man wearing a party hat is seen within a black and white picture. After the credits fly off screen, he stares at the viewer and smiles before blowing a party horn and giving a toast to us. The man then drinks from a wine glass.
 * On The Real World 3D TV, the flower is in a 3D-effect against a perspective effect grid background. It then zooms out and looses its effect before the shot crossfades to the normal logo.
 * A (.*) variant exists where the logo is paired with six other ITV franchise logos on a blue background. TVS's logo appears on the bottom left.

 * A filmed version also exists which was seen on episodes of the final series of Mr Majeika.
 * In the 1988-1992 episodes of Catchphrase, while it is similar to the Motormouth's version from 1988, but instead, the page flipped to the right and slides down (formerly up) to reveal the TVS endcap.
 * On The Prayer For Us All, the logo is in a box with white outlining outside of it and appears next to the 1988 Anglia Television logo and on the latter's background with the text below changing to "Times New Roman" with the 1989 ITV logo below.

 * The "TVS Production for ITV" variant of this logo also appeared at the end of a 1992 episode of Art Attack as part of CITV's Old Skool Weekend in January 2013.
