2nd Logo (April 13, 1995-December 24, 1998)

Logo: 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.

3rd Logo (March 18, 2000-August 25, 2007)

Logo: Same as the last logo, but there are some differences. "TELEVISION" is removed, "WORKING TITLE" replaced by "WTTV" in a stretched out bold 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.

FX/SFX: The fade-in or none.

This is seen on the HBO film The Last of the Blonde Bombshells, the 2000 UK revival of Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased), and two Lifetime Television movies: Cyber Seduction: His Secret Life and The Murder of Princess Diana occasionally seen on Lifetime and Lifetime Movie Network.
