Background
Olga TV is Paul O'Grady's British independent television production company founded in 2005. It is named after the founder's pet dog, Olga. The company produced shows like The Paul O'Grady Show for Channel 4, which ended on 18 December 2009, as O'Grady had signed a new deal with ITV. The company became dormant after O'Grady's death on March 28, 2023.

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 a blue dog in place of Leo. Underneath the filmstrip is the word Olgatv, while the TV is in blue. The dog then looks at the camera, thens, barks, smiles, zooms back in place and winks

- A superimposed variant exists.
- A still variant also exists.

Audio: A dog's growl and a bark, the closing theme of the programme or none.
