Huge fan of the BBC channel, so this should be good.  Honestly, this logo is pretty cool! I've never heard of this company before until now, and it's actually pretty awesome! The blue light looks super realistic, which extends my love for this logo. I've never seen such a subtle and interesting touch to a film logo! I'm actually pretty glad this is from my country, as people praise this logo here as well! |

ITV Granada, TVS, and Central (I forgot if these were British. One time, Granada was also seen with Little Airplane on a show called Go Baby) |

.png) Another logo that's actually pretty awesome. In fact, this logo is my favourite logo from my country. But if this scored in my Top 10 Favourite Logos of All Time list, it would score #4 at least. It's good, but it's not SO good. It's more or less above average, but more than BBC Films.  I guess this logo is pretty decent. The fanfare is average, there is average animation, so overall pretty average. I wasn't around to see this logo in action, but if I was, I would've said that this logo is one of the more casual ITV logos out there.  I fondly remember seeing a Logo Bloopers video off this logo (pretty sure it's long gone by now). And I thought the video was average. But the LOGO is what got me. I enjoy this logo, but not as much as the others. It's better than TVS, but worse than Granada. So, it's just good. |

How is it now I just noticed Central and TVS are both rainbow. I used to pronounce Granada as Grandana. This is my favorite logo from Granada (The one with Little Airplane on top.)

I'm pretty sure Granada is more than just British. (Or as we pronounce it in OUR country "GranARda".) |

 You got that right. This logo is good, but also really minimalistic and bad. So, it's just really mixed. But compared to the last one, this logo feels like a speck of simplicity in a sea of circles and lines. This logo is what'd you expect to come out of a company like BBC. So, like TVS, this logo is alright in my opinion. .jpeg) I honestly didn't even know ITC was British. This company has been long gone for DECADES now. I've heard of this company several times before (hell, the 1987 logo was even one of CCG445's intros before), so this should be alright. Well, not really. It's rather cheesy. Sure, the spinning diamonds look cool, but the zoom in of the ITC hourglass logo along with the text just APPEARING there makes this logo seem like it was made in 5 minutes, tops. This logo isn't that bad, but it isn't good either. It mainly isn't good, so it's just slightly below meh. The fanfare is decent, though. I'll give this logo that. |

Oh boy, Aardman. The company that gave me one of my more favorite animated British properties to date. Despite my favorite logo from the company being the 4th logo, this logo is actually slightly jarring, but mostly pretty jovial. The silly atmosphere of this logo makes me less scared of it. I know this isn't the scary logos thread, but this is only slightly frightening. I find this logo rather cool than scary due to this goofy and silly atmosphere, and it oddly fits considering the films they make. |

the funky af Alpha Video logo from the 80's |

.png) I know I may sound crazy, but I actually enjoy this logo. This logo's choice of music is pretty good for the time, and it's unexpected from an obscure video company like Alpha. Despite me never hearing about this logo other than from Logo Sparta Remixes (which are actually what got me in the logo community), I enjoyed this logo and everything about it. The slow animation makes it easy to focus on, the music is funky (you're damn right, SquidGeeks), and I like the color of Navy Blue. Everything about this logo I have a guilty pleasure feel for. |

_(From_-_VHS_release_of_The_Nightmare_Returns).png) This logo is another one of those underrated company logos over here, because I rarely hear about anyone even THINKING about this company. So, I'm basically the only person in YEARS to talk about this company. Now for the logo itself. It's not that bad! The idea of having a logo based on a burglary scene is immaculate and seems like a fitting premise for the company based on the films they've made. This company chose the perfect choice for their logo, and I really hope that people start talking about this company anymore. This logo, like I said, is one of those companies with good logos that no one talks about. Whenever I try and mention Hendring to my parents (they own copies with the Hendring name), they confuse it for Hemdale Home Video (which they also have tapes of) despite the Hemdale company lasting LESS than the Hendring company. .png) Definitely a HUGE downgrade from the last logo. It's another one of those "minimalist logos" things again, and they affected my favorite animation company. What are the goddamn chances?! Jokes aside, this logo isn't the best. The fingerprint backgrouned is okay, but the logo itself is pretty bleh. I can handle the straightening of the star, but the font change is just... why? The font and star were so recognizable, and the company decided to change it to whatever junk this is. I hope they eventually use this logo for a short time, bringing back the old one. But I personally don't think that'll happen any time soon. .png) Oh boy, one of those logos that are unbelievably cheesy. Good thing it's from the 90s and stayed in the 90s. Because if it would've existed in modern times, it wouldn't have exactly been enjoyable due to its crazy and weird animation and, of course, the Bollywood theme. I'm still surprised people even WATCH Bollywood nowadays. It's insanity. So, this logo is bad and shouldn't have even BEEN a 90s logo. Bring this abomination to the 80s! But I'm still wondering where Wilkins even found this logo. I get it was from old Bollywood tapes from the company, but where did he even FIND the tapes? |

If you want to see some cheesy/ugly home video logos, check out the United Kingdom section of this list. If you find 11 logos to be too much, then try picking a logo yourself. |

 I know some of these logos are "cheesy" and "ugly", but this one definitely caught my eye due to its seemingly ugly color scheme. But, in reality... it's not that bad. I know, I know, I sound insane, but just hear me out. Okay? The animation looks like it has EFFORT, the music choice is DECENT, but the only bad thing about it is the execution and reputation. Yeah, very little reputation with literally nobody seeing this logo. And when they do, they just crap on it for no reason. But in my personal opinion, this logo is the least cheesy out of the other abominations. |

I didn't think all of those logos were cheesy or ugly. They were taken from this YouTube video, where the creator of the video considers them to be cheesy or ugly. |

 (Since this company only has one logo, I'll review its only logo.) Honestly, this logo is better than I expected! I'm surprised at the amount of CGI effort put into this! I honestly expected this logo to be a still, but an animated CGI masterpiece with relaxing music is FAR better! 2 Entertain is definitely the more underrated masterpieces of animated British company logos, and I'm proud of my country for having such a collection of good, meh, bad, and horrible logos (like the US)! |

Two logos from the same company. Nice. .png) Wow, definitely a nice logo from this company. I honestly didn't expect a logo from 1986 to be this good. To be honest, any logo (except Shiva) from Britain is either decent, pretty good, or godly. And this goes on the "pretty good" tier. Despite this logo being 2D, I enjoy it for its jovial atmosphere and cheery vibe. Now, moving on to the other logo. .png) This is essentially the same as the last one, but slightly better. It's 2D, but it feels 3D. It's more or less a "slightly great" logo. My only issue is the fanfare. The fanfare feels cheesy, non-matching with the animation, and the vibe of it just doesn't fit with the logo itself. In fact, the logo is better off MUTE. I don't dislike the fanfare, but I just think it could be improved. So, the better logo is the 1987 one. |

 Look, not all of them can be treasures. This logo I don't really despise much, in fact, I only SLIGHTLY despise this. So, this logo is just something I HATE, not DESPISE. Sure, the gaudy and jittering animation can be a bit underwhelming along with the slight line of the cards being switched for the magenta screen part, but it's just a slight guilty pleasure deal with this. I don't despise this, just hate it. So, this logo is just BAD, not HORRIBLE. |

Didn't specify, reviewing 1996 logo. .jpg) Underrated. That's all I'm gonna say. The animation is somewhat cheesy, sure. But the MUSIC, though, is on a whole different level. The music is so dark and ambient that it becomes good in a way. Personally, I think this logo should've been used longer. I mean, come on. 6 months? Why not 4 years or SOMETHING? This logo is SUPER underrated from the company, and I understand that. Most people mainly pay attention to the 2006 or 2016 logo from the company. But the earlier logos from the company are somewhat GOOD. The 1998 logo and the 2004 logo are pretty good too, but NOTHING compares to this one Film4 logo in my opinion. |

.jpeg) Well, this logo is more of an in-credit logo than an actual logo. The prototype version doesn't count, though. As that is just a bloody prototype. Anyway, this logo seems pretty well-made on its own. Plus, this company did SO MUCH to work for shows like Peppa. So, this company knows what they're doing. I don't really know how to review their logo since it's just in-credit, so I'll just leave this here.  Again, another in-credit logo. Don't know what to say, so I'll just say it's good and move on. _(From_-_AMC%2B_print_of_The_Drowning).png) Good logo, I'd have to say. It's in-credit, so there's not much to say. .png) (I couldn't find a picture, so I just used the first picture I could find of the 4th logo, if that's fine by you.) Good logo, I'd have to say. It's in-credit, so there's not much to say. And that's all of it. |

.png) Framerate's alright, animation is surprisingly REALLY AMAZING, this logo is honestly pretty cool. But in my personal opinion, the textless version is better. I don't know why, but it just is.  Honestly, very well animated (and nostalgic for me). I had always watched this show when I was younger by reruns, and I loved it. I mainly paid attention to this logo at the end, due to it just looking so fluid. Despite it being short, this logo is one of the more underrated British animated logos out there along with Scott Free.  Logo's pretty boring and short. |

 Not really much to say here since it's a still. I like the splotch design, I guess.  Oh boy, here's a classic over here. This logo had been seen on almost EVERYTHING from cartoons to GAME SHOWS before it got changed to the present hunk-o-junk. This logo is an absolute UNIT here in Britain, and I hear almost nobody associating Fremantle with the present logo. This logo is SO iconic I can still remember the first time I saw this logo! And because of its notoriety, it's classified as a good logo. So, there. |

 Well, this is a surprise. I never expected THIS logo to be requested, but I'll review it anyway. This logo is pretty cool due to the ambient atmosphere and the gong sound echoing the room. Plus, the logo looks like it has real effort put into it. This is another one of those logos considered a classic here in Britain. And because of its notoriety, it's a good logo. Well, for most of the population here anyway. So, because of its recognizability, I enjoy it. Plus, I liked this logo when I first saw it. And I still do. .PNG){kind=logo} Honestly, not bad animation for a kids division. This logo definitely isn't REGULAR Fremantle levels of amazement, but it's just good at best. I'll give Fremantle this... they make some pretty cool logos. Especially the regular division, their logo came out AMAZING. Anyway, this logo has amazing CGI animation, followed by creative logo-forming animation and execution. The music is playful and feels like it's fairly obvious that this is a kids division, which was basically what they were going for. This is definitely one of the more underrated kids logos out there, and I'm disappointed. I've never seen this logo as much as the logo from the original Fremantle, so I missed out on an underrated gem of a kids logo. |

 Honestly, this logo is pretty cheesy for a home video company. I know there are cheesier logos out there, but this one scores somewhere on the better side; I said PRETTY cheesy. But overall, its... meh. 5/10.  DEFINITELY better than the previous one. I can understand the previous one being used for a short number of years. THIS one being used for (probably) 10 years definitely fits. 7/10. |

(Note: Due to this logo not having any images, I’ll use the 1974 Hanna Barbera logo’s image. I’ll still be reviewing the HBSE logo, just without the image for it.  I mean, the animation is FINE… it’s just not worthy enough for my likenesses. I’ve never personally cared about Hanna-Barbera or any of their releases, but after buying out CNSE and their properties, I decided to see what was in stock at the HBSE store. The animation in this logo is fine, but the music being just SILENCE ruins it. It’s still an above average rating, just add some music next time. 6/10. |
