Working Title Television

From the Audiovisual Identity Database, the motion graphics museum




1st Logo (April 13, 1995-December 24, 1998)


Visuals: On a gold background, there is a red circle which is split in two. Between the two halves, we see the text "WORKING TITLE" in Compacta BT, and the bottom half of the circle has "TELEVISION" in a white Times New Roman font on it. A copyright notice with the year in white and "WORKING TITLE TV Ltd" in black, all in Compacta BT, is located below the circle.

Variant: On Zig and Zag’s Dirty Deeds, the logo is inside a grey box and paired with the Double Z Enterprises logo.

Technique: A still graphic.

Audio: The ending theme of the show.

Availability: This is seen on The Baldy Man episodes.

2nd Logo (March 18, 2000-August 25, 2007)

Visuals: Same as the last logo, but there are some differences. "TELEVISION" is removed, "WORKING TITLE" is replaced by "WTTV" in a stretched out white Times New Roman font, and the background is black.

Variants:

  • On co-produced shows mainly for BBC, the logo would say "A WTTV Production for BBC", with the respective logos in the place of the company names, and a copyright to Universal Television or Universal Television and BBC below.
  • Would appear in all white on The Last of the Blonde Bombshells.

Technique: A still graphic.

Audio: None or the ending theme of the program.
