1st Logo (December 19, 1996-October 30, 2000) | 2nd Logo (January 11, 2000-) | 3rd Logo (June 10, 2017) |
Visuals: On a white cardboard box, there is the Adastral star in black with a human hand twisting the star counterclockwise, sometimes missing contact with it. "ANOTHER QUALITY PRODUCTION" and "FROM ASOCIATED-REDIFFUSION TELEVISION" in white then fade in at the top and bottom respectively. Shortly after, the star falls from the cardboard box and the hand leaves the screen.
Variant: On later episodes of series 1 of Ads Infinitum, the logo crossfades to the company as well as the BBC's in-credit notice.
Technique: Live-action.
Audio: Cut 5 of "Brite and Sunny" jingle with backup choir singing "Another swell TV show from Associated-Rediffusion!". This jingle was produced by Dallas-based radio ID company JAM Creative Productions, who also did most of the music for Lewis-Smith's TV Offal.
Audio Variant: On the Ads Infinitum episode "Christmas Presents Past", a dreamy horn fanfare plays with twinkling at the end.
Availability: Seen on Ads Infinitum and TV Offal.
Visuals: This is the same as the 1955 Associated-Rediffusion logo, except "presents" is replaced with "Production".

Visuals: On a blue background with film noise, the Adastral star from before in white slides from the right and spins. Shortly after, a white tube with a thick black outline fades in with the star inside a blue tube box and to the right is a black tube box reading "REDIFFUSION LONDON" with a line separating the two. Then, the logo zooms out to reveal the whole logo and when the word "COLOUR" fades in, the star stops spinning and the film noise effect is no longer applied.
Trivia: This logo was originally created by YouTube user TheKid965 as a "mock" of what Rediffusion London's color ident could have looked like, had it not lost its ITV franchise in 1968. Its video (dated 2010/11/17) was an update of a still version he made in 2008, and had its music lifted from the 1964 Rediffusion ident.
Technique: Frame-by-frame 2D animation done in Inkscape.
Audio: A third into the logo, the burp of a man is heard in which he apologizes "Sorry" afterwards. Then, a cut version of the 1st logo's theme with the choir singing "Associated Rediffusion!" is played.
Availability: Only seen on the video VLS as BATMAN, which can be seen on the company's Vimeo account.
