Background
Euston Films was a British film and television company, originally formed by Thames Television, and headed by Lloyd Shirley, George Taylor and Brian Tester in 1971. It didn't use a logo until the early 1990s. The company went defunct in 1994, barely a year after Thames lost its ITV franchise. The company was revived in 2014 by FremantleMedia, who is the current owner of Thames.
1st Logo (October 18, 1990-1994)
Visuals: On a white background, there is an image of the railway train passing by. Below it was either the words "A EUSTON FILMS PRODUCTION FOR THAMES TELEVISION" or "A EUSTON FILMS PRODUCTION FOR CENTRAL" in black, along with a copyright date.
Technique: A digital graphic, with the train being an illustration.
Audio: The end theme of the show.
Availability: Seen on original airings of later episodes of Minder.
- Current prints do not keep this, with the exception of the episode "Opportunity Knocks and Bruises" on ITV4, which is then followed by the 2001 FremantleMedia logo.
2nd Logo (January 6, 2018-March 9, 2020)
