3rd Logo (1982-1999)

Visuals: Like before, this is a still version of the 1982 ident but with a copyright stamp added underneath.

Variants:

In the late 1980s, this logo was updated to use a more shaded symbol.
Beginning in 1989, networked programmes began using a new variant that conformed with the generic ITV endcap standards, replacing the original text with "A GRAMPIAN PRODUCTION FOR" and adding the 1989 ITV logo below it.
On the 1991 documentary The Billy Graham Experience, the 1989 ITV logo's triangle has a blue V rather than the standard white one.
A superimposed variant exists.
Another variant which has the words "A GRAMPIAN PRODUCTION FOR CHANNEL FOUR" exists, which was seen on programmes produced for Channel 4.
On A Guid New Year, the logo appears alongside the 1989 Scottish Television logo with the text "A GRAMPIAN TELEVISION/SCOTTISH TELEVISION PRODUCTION FOR", with the 1989 ITV logo underneath with a copyright notice below.
On Breakthrough, the Scottish flag symbol is within a box and paired with the TSW logo while against a white-cyan background containing the text "A Grampian/TSW Co-Production".
On Highlanders, the logo is on the same row as the Malone Gill Productions logo.
On Highway, the logo is paired with six other ITV franchise logos on a blue background. Grampian's logo appears on the centre left.
On James the Cat, the copyright notice reading "THE JAMES THE CAT COMPANY © COPYRIGHT 1984" appears below the logo.
On The Dirt Detectives, this logo shares the screen with the 1993 Scottish Television logo appearing on the said logo's background, and the text is also reworded to "A SCOTTISH TELEVISION & GRAMPIAN TELEVISION PRODUCTION" with the copyright notice reading "© (year in Roman numerals)" appearing below.
On The Mysterious North, this logo shares the screen with the 1996 CST Productions logo, and the copyright notice also reads "© GRAMPIAN TELEVISION MCMXCVI", which appears below.
On Gaelic programmes by Grampian such as Ceol Na Fidhle, among others, the text is reworded to "TELEBHISEAN GRAMPIAN" with a copyright notice reading "© GRAMPIAN TELEVISION (year in Roman numerals)" appearing below.

Technique: A still, digital graphic.

Audio: The ending theme of the programme or none.

Availability: Seen on programmes by Grampian from the time-period until 1999.

Examples include Highlanders, Geography Junction, James the Cat, The Paul Coia Show, The Man Who Wants to Change The World, and A Guid New Year, among others.
The 1985 opening variant was used on all networked programmes by Grampian until ITV abolished frontcaps starting on January 1, 1988.
The 1985 opening and closing variants are also preserved on the STV Player's streaming prints of The Man Who Wants to Change The World.
The 1993 "A Scottish Television and Grampian Television Production" variant was seen on The Dirt Detectives, which is also intact on STV Player.

4th Logo (1995-February 27, 2000)

Visuals: Once again, this is a still version of its respective previous logo, but with the logo now in 3D facing the right a bit and a copyright notice added below reading "© GRAMPIAN TELEVISION (year in Roman numerals)".

Variants:

On A Glen for All Seasons, this logo shares the screen with the 1996 Scottish Television logo, which takes place on the same background as the said logo's 1989 endcap, and the text also reads "A GRAMPIAN TELEVISION/SCOTTISH TELEVISION TELEVISION PRODUCTION FOR" with both the 1989 ITV logo and copyright notice reading "© MCMXCVII" both appearing below.
On Vote '99 Scotland Debate, this logo is paired with the 1996 Scottish Television logo, and the text also reads "A SCOTTISH TELEVISION GRAMPIAN TELEVISION CO-PRODUCTION", which appears below.

Technique: A still graphic.

Audio: The ending theme of the programme or none.

Availability: Seen on programmes by Grampian from the time-period until 2000.
