Background

This is the production arm of Bravo.



1st Logo (2000-2003)


Visuals: On a dark cornflower blue background, there is the 2000 Bravo logo where the box spins once, followed by the "Horned O". On top of it is the co-producer's logo and "production for"/"for" in white and underneath reads "©Flextech Rights Limited (year)" and the company's website in an outlined box.

Variants:

  • On Hard Labour, this logo appears with the 1997 Thames logo and the copyright notice also reads "© Flextech Rights Ltd 2000" which appears below.
  • Starting in 2003, the background is dark blue, the bottom text is entirely in white, and a byline is added underneath the Bravo logo, reading "A Telewest Broadband company" with the Telewest Broadband logo on the left.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: The ending theme of the programme or none.

Availability:

  • Bravo's original programming is rather obscure and overshadowed by popular shows that aired on the network, plus the fact the channel's original lineup consisting of reality shows makes them very hard to find thanks to them receiving little to no release on home media or seen on television since their original runs.
  • It wasn't until when their availability on streaming websites such as Tubi and on Sky's website kept the logo from being increasingly hard to find as Travel Sick and Booze Britain have been preserved on said sites.
  • However, season 1 of Cops, Cars and Superstars has the logo plastered by the 2012 Sky Vision logo instead.

2nd Logo (2004-2006)

Visuals: An orange nighttime cityscape is shown with the 2004 Bravo logo on top of it and to the right of the co-producer's logo. Underneath reads:

Production for Bravo
A Telewest Broadband company
© Flextech Rights Limited (year)
www.bravo.co.uk

Technique: A still, digital graphic.

Audio: The ending theme of the programme or none.

Availability: Like before, it appears on obscure reality shows from this period such as season 2 of Booze Britain, When Games Attack, season 2 of Cops, Cars and Superstars, and Man's Work, most of which are preserved on streaming sites.

3rd Logo (2006-2010)


Visuals: Just an in-credit version of the 2006 Bravo logo.

Variant: On series 2 of Danny Dyer's Deadliest Men and Brit Cops: Frontline Crime UK, the logo is dodger blue.

Technique: A still, digital graphic.

Audio: The ending theme of the programme or none.

Availability:

  • There are even less known original programmes from Bravo from the time-period until 2010.
  • Danny Dyer's Deadliest Men is one show which uses this logo.
  • The DVD release of Danny Dyer's Deadliest Men 2: Living Dangerously also has this logo intact.
  • The Steadfast Television variant was also resurfaced on season 1 episodes of Brit Cops: Frontline Crime UK.

4th Logo (2010-2011)


Visuals: On a dimly lit white background, the top portion of the 2010 "Horned O" logo is shown slowly flipping over with the text "Production for BRAVO" over. A few seconds later, the notice fades out and then the co-producer's logo fades in with the text "A/An (co-producer's name) production for Bravo" and "© LIVING TV Group Limited (year)" underneath it.

Variants:

  • On Brit Cops, the co-producers name is shown with the "Production for BRAVO" text, both of which fade out together to reveal the "© LIVING TV Group Limited (year)" copyright on its own.
  • One season 4 episode of Brit Cops: Law and Disorder used a variant with the Virgin Media Television logo instead of the Living TV Group copyright.
  • Later season 4 episodes of Brit Cops: Law and Disorder use a variant where the Living TV Group copyright is in a different font and has no year.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: The ending theme of the programme.

Availability:

  • For a while, its only known appearance was on later seasons of Sun, Sea and A&E, which can only be found through Sky's website and also occasionally airs on Sky Witness.
  • The Steadfast Television variants also appear on the last two seasons of Brit Cops, titled Brit Cops: Law and Disorder and Brit Cops: War on Crime, respectively.
  • The variant with the Virgin Media Television logo only appears on the end of season 4, episode 5 of Brit Cops: Law and Disorder.
  • The variant with the different Living TV Group copyright appears on later season 4 episodes of Brit Cops: Law and Disorder.
