1st Logo (July 8, 1991)

Visuals: On a white marble background (similar to that of the 1992 BBC Video logo), a grey, translucent version of the 1988 BBC logo fades in. The red, drop-shadowed text "E N T E R P R I S E S" follows suit, fading at the bottom, while the BBC logo also garners a drop shadow. Then, the copyright year (in a red Times New Roman font and in Roman numerals) fades in below "E N T E R P R I S E S". Eventually, the whole thing fades to black.

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: A heavy synth note, along with a descending chime tune.

Availability: Only seen on Charles and Diana: The First Decade.

2nd Logo (1992?-1997)

Visuals: Just the 1988 BBC logo on a white background.

Technique: A still, computerized graphic.

Audio: The ending theme of the programme or none.
