1st Logo (November 8, 1992-November 14, 1993)

Logo: Just some simple in-credit text that reads "A WORKING TITLE TELEVISION PRODUCTION FOR BBC" featuring BBC's respective logo.

FX/SFX: The fade-in and fade-out or superimposed.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the preceeding TV movie.

Availability: Rare. It's seen on The Borrowers and Return of the Borrowers on VHS.

Editor's Note: None.

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

Nicknames: "Circle", "Red Circle"

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. A copyright notice with the year in white and "WORKING TITLE TV Ltd" in black, all in Compacta BT, is located below the circle.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the preceeding show.

Availability: This is seen on The Baldy Man episodes.

Editor's Note: None.

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

Nicknames: "Circle II", "Red Circle II", "WTTV Circle"

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.

Music/Sounds: None or the ending theme of the preceeding TV movie.

Availability: Uncommon. 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.

Editor's Note: None.

4th Logo (April 1, 2007-May 24, 2009)

Nicknames: "Circle III", "White Circle"

Logo: On a black background, we see a white in-credit version of the Working Title Films logo.

FX/SFX: None.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the preceeding show.

Availability: Rare. It was last seen on reruns of the first three seasons of The Tudors on Audience Network. It's also seen on the DVD releases.

Editor's Note: None.

5th Logo (April 11-June 20, 2010)

6th Logo (June 2, 2011-)

Nicknames: "Circle V", "Black Circle", "Working Title Gyroscope"

Logo: A sped-up version of the current movie logo, except the circle is already formed and flips over with the name sliding out into place. "WTTV" in small spaced-out letters is shown below.
