Background
Woodland Animations was founded in 1973 by Ivor Wood, who had previously directed several programs from Filmfair Animation. During the 1980s it produced several stop-motion animated cartoon series for the BBC, such as Postman Pat (1981-2017), Gran (1983), Bertha (1985-86) and Charlie Chalk (1988-89). The company closed in 2001 after being bought out by Entertainment Rights.

1st Logo (November 4, 1981-September 27, 1982, 1990) | 2nd Logo (April 1, 1985-June 18, 1986) |
1st Logo (November 4, 1981-September 27, 1982, 1990)
Visuals: There is the Woodland Animations symbol - a circle with a hilly woodland scene covering the upper half and a handwritten "WA" on the lower half - superimposed over the credits scene with "Produced by" above the logo and "Woodland Animations Ltd" below the logo. The writing is rendered in Bauhaus.
Trivia: This logo accompanied a revised set of opening and closing titles to Postman Pat, which were introduced after Royal Mail granted Woodland Animations permission to use their logo on Pat's van.
Variant: On Postman Pat's ABC and Postman Pat's 123, the production year is added below "Woodland Animations Ltd".
Technique: A fade effect overlaid onto either stop motion animation or cel animation.
Audio: The ending theme of the show.
Availability:
- Originally aired during the final six episodes of Postman Pat's first season, but also later went on to plaster an in-credit notice on later releases.
- The variant appears on Postman Pat's ABC and Postman Pat's 123.
- This logo also appears on Spanish DVD releases of Postman Pat (season 1), which is then followed by the 2000 HIT Entertainment logo.
2nd Logo (April 1, 1985-June 18, 1986)
Visuals: In a warehouse, the camera pans to a specific series of crates. A small red one in the background has a colourised version of the symbol from the previous logo printed onto it, whereas a larger brown crate in the foreground has two labels; a green one with "Produced by WOODLAND ANIMATIONS LTD" written on it in white, and a smaller white label with "© WOODLAND ANIMATIONS LTD./MCMLXXXV"
Technique: Stop motion animation.
Audio: The end theme of Bertha.
Availability:
- Was only seen at the end of Bertha.
- The logo is retained on the episodes that have been given a DVD release.
