DRG (Digital Rights Group) was originally formed by Ingenious in 2006 after purchasing Portman Film & Television. A year later, it bought the international division of Channel 4 and had other brands, namely i-Rights, ID Distribution and Zeal Entertainment. In 2011, the company's branding of subsidiaries were phased out in favour of DRG's. In 2013, Ingenious sold DRG to MTG Studios, which in 2014, became part of Nice Entertainment. In 2020, it became "NENT Studios UK".

1st Logo (2006-2010)	2nd Logo (2010-2011)	3rd Logo (2011-2012)	4th Logo (2012-2016)	5th Logo (2015-2020)

1st Logo (2006-2010)

Visuals: On a black background, there is a series of coloured dots that stand to the left of the words "Digital Rights Group".

Variants:

Sometimes, the logo is paired with the Portman Film & Television logo.
There is a version where the logo is on a white background.

Technique: A still digital graphic.

Audio: None or the end theme of the programme.

Availability: It's seen at the end of some shows and documentaries such as Sea Patrol. Most programmes just use the Portman Film & Television logo.

2nd Logo (2010-2011)

Visuals: On a white background, there is a grey circle fading in with "DRG" on the right. Then coloured dots appear zooming out and settle rapidly to form the dots from the previous logo, which stand on the left of the circle.

Variant: The logo sometimes appears without the dots. The logo is also silver.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: A whoosh.

Availability: Seen at the end of DRG's programmes from the period.

3rd Logo (2011-2012)

Visuals: On a white background, there is a light blue circle with the words "DRG" inside the circle.

Variants:

Sometimes, distribution info appears below the logo.
There is a version where the DRG logo is stretched.

Technique: A still, digital graphic.

Audio: None.

Availability: Seen at the end of DRG's programmes from the period, like Doc Martin.

4th Logo (2012-2016)

Visuals: On a black or white background, there is a grey circle with a white outline. Inside it is the 2D CGI word "DRG" with a shadow, looking almost like the previous two logos.

Bylines:

2013-2014: "POWERED BY MTG STUDIOS" with the MTG emblem next to the logo.
2014-2016: "a nice company"

Variants:

It sometimes shares the screen with other logos.
Distribution notice may appear above or below the logos.
An animated version of the logo exists where the circle spins and the DRG letters zoom out letter by letter.

Technique: A still, digital graphic.

Audio: None.

Availability: Seen on such shows like episodes from the revival of Catchphrase and Witches: A Century of Murder.

5th Logo (2015-2020)

Visuals: On a spotlight background, there is the same DRG circle from the previous logo, but with coloured dots below the logo and the text "DRG" is changed into a different font. The logo then spins once.

Bylines:

2015-2018: "a nice company"

Variants:

A still version exists.
Sometimes, it shares the screen with other logos.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: None or the end theme of the programme.
