Background

Potato is a TV production company founded in March 2013 and is a subsidiary of ITV Studios.

(September 2, 2013-)


Logo: On either a white or black background, a 2D-animated couch is seen in which a detailed potato with the word "Potato" peeled in falls onto from the top. Following this, the text "Part of ITV Studios" fades in underneath.

Trivia: The concept of the logo is a play on the idiom "couch potato", meaning a lazy person.

Variants:

  • Sometimes, the bottom notice is replaced with the 2013 ITV logo.
  • A variant has the Albert Sustainable Production logo underneath.
  • On later episodes of The Chase, the logo is smaller and appears on a dimly lit gray background.
  • A compressed credits variant exists.

FX/SFX: The potato falling and the text fading in.

Music/Sounds: A boing and then someone from their respective TV shows saying "Potato!".

Music/Sounds Variants:

  • Sometimes, either just the boing or the line will be present.
  • The ending theme of the show may play over this logo with the sounds intact.
  • On series 2 of The Big Reunion, we hear a slide whistle and then an alternate boing.

Availability: Current and common. Was seen on The Chase starting series 7, series 2 of The Big Reunion as well as the On Tour miniseries, Autopsy: The Last Hours of... and many more.
