Logo (March 27, 2006-March 31, 2024)

Visuals: On the black background is a ribbon-like filmstrip that resembles the MGM logo, with a bow tie in place of the mask. Inside the circle, there is Paul O'Grady's pet dog Olga in place of Leo, but with the bluish-gray fur, staring at the camera. Underneath the filmstrip is the word "Olgatv", with the "TV" in cadet blue. Olga blinks her eyes to the right and stares at the camera again with a snarl, then barks, smiles and then zooms back in place and winks.

Variants:
