Channel 4 Television

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

1st Logo (1986-1999)
Logo: An in-credit notice where we see the 1982 Channel 4 logo over "CHANNEL FOUR TELEVISION".

Variant: On The Mind of David Berglas, the logo appears alongside the on-screen Tyne Tees Television logo. A light blue slash separates the two company's logos.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the show.

Availability: Extremely rare. 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 VHSes of said show preserve this logo, as well as The Mind of David Berglas where it is paired with the aforementioned Tyne Tees logo.

2nd Logo (2000-2004)
Logo: The Channel 4 logo is now inside a white box and is aligned to the right side of the screen. A copyright notice for the channel is positioned underneath the co-producer's logo, which is on the left.

 * Sometimes, the logo may be superimposed into the end credits.
 * The Hoobs lack a copyright notice for either the Channel 4, Jim Henson Television, or Decode Entertainment logo
 * On Scandal in the Bins, the logo is squished.
 * On Queer as Folk, the logo appears as an on-screen logo, consisting of just the Channel 4 logo with no box or any other co-producer.
 * Later episodes of The Hoobs has the Channel 4 notice lack a box.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the show.

3rd Logo (December 24, 2015-2018)
Regular Variants

Logo: The Channel 4 logo is 3D and laying down with several pieces of it popping out. There is a top notice above the Channel 4 logo that reads: for Channel 4 Television

Variants: Filmed across (location) For Channel 4 Television A line also divides Channel 4's logo with another co-producer or seal in either the top or bottom portion. The map was exclusive to split-screen variants. Support information for the issues raised can be found online at www.channel4.com/support
 * Sometimes, several shows may use a split-screen variant of this logo as well as its co-producers. Here, both logos are positioned to the left side of the screen with promos for new shows to be placed on the right.
 * The logo alongside other co-producers may be superimposed into the end credits.
 * A map of the British Isles can be seen alongside the Channel 4 logo where the map has either a region being filled or a dot placed onto a certain city, indicating the filming location of the show. The animation for regions would have the location be filled in magenta, only for it to fade out and repeat its sequence. Cities would have the dot (in the same color as the region variants) in a pulse animation. There is bottom text underneath, reading:
 * A rare variant follows the same format as said version but without the map of the British Isles. This is because the show was filmed in a foreign country.
 * On Flowers, the top notice now reads: "For Channel 4 in association with Seeso".

 * On Gap Year, the IAW notice adds "TELEVISION" next to the Channel 4 name.

5th Logo (January 7, 2019-)
Regular Variants

Logo: Same as the 3rd logo except the Channel 4 logo is 2D. This logo is similar to most other Channel 4 logos such as the 2000 logo except the outlines are thicker.

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. Strangely enough, despite Northern Ireland and Ireland being a region and a country, dots were used for these locations rather than the fill animation.

These include Made in Chelsea (this show would begin using this logo in its 17th series), Stath Lets Flats, Big Fat Quiz of the Year, among others. Shows that contain the Isles within the regular variants include This Way Up and Frank of Ireland.
 * The superimposed variant was so far seen on Big Fat Quiz of the Year.

6th Logo (2019-)
Logo: In a dark room, we can see several dim white blocks floating around. The camera then starts to pan around, as several of the blocks light up and move around. Panning across the blocks, they look like their forming a brief frame-by-frame version of the 1982 logo's "Implosion" variant, in which the final result is the previous logo fully lighting up. The background and blocks dim to near-invisible levels, and "Channel 4 Television" fades in below.

Variant: A slightly shorter version exists.

FX/SFX: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: A soft violin note is heard in the background, as a much more mellower piano version of "Fourscore" plays in the background, in sync with the lighting.

Editor's Note: A cool reference to the original logo.
