Technique: None.

2nd Logo (16 December 1994-9 December 2004)
Visuals: We see the logo arranged in this way: A N -AVALON- T E LE V I S I O N P R O D U C T I O N F O R

Where the word "AVALON" is transparent and casting red shadows. The "TELEVISION" is white in a black box.

Variant: Sometimes, this logo also shares the screen with other logos (including the 1988 and 1997 BBC, and 1999 Channel 4 "Square" logo).

Technique: None.

Audio: The ending theme of the show.

Availability: It debuted on series 2 of Fantasy Football League and later appeared on Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, Jenny Eclair Squats and TV Burp.

2nd Logo (13 March 2005-23 December 2009)
Visuals: On a gradient pink background, many red lines are standing on the floor in various distances. They zoom out and move together to form the Avalon logo. The black bar flies in as we zoom.

Variants:
 * On shows co-produced with the BBC, its 1997 logo is seen underneath the Avalon Television logo.
 * Another version has this variant with a different font.
 * A still version exists.

Technique: The logo is collected from pieces.

3rd Logo (10 October 2009-24 December 2017)
Visuals: Glass parts pan over the screen and zoom out to form the Avalon logo zooming out on a waving blue background.

Variants:
 * On Workaholics, the logo begins when it is at the zooming out animation. On pre-2014 episodes, it is split in the top half of the screen while the Gigapix Studios logo plays in the bottom.
 * On some episodes of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (others have neither it nor the Sixteen String Jack Productions logo at all), it is still.

Technique: The logo collects and shines.

Audio: A dreamy five-note synth tune or the closing theme.

Audio Variant: Starting in 2015, a dramatic high-pitch synth note is used.
