Background

Granada Films was a production subsidiary of Granada Media that closed in 2006, after the release of The Queen.

1st (known) Logo (1990's-Early 2000's)

Logo: It's almost the same as the Granada Media logo, but the abstract "G" symbol rotates, and in metallic form, and in the center, and the word "FILM", is shown below, in a plain font, instead of "MEDIA".

Variants: The ending credits of Rogue Trader use the print logo.

FX/SFX: The Granada symbol rotating.

Music/Sounds: None or the opening theme of the movie.

Availability: Rare. Kept on the original DVD release of Essex Boys, while the regular Granada TV logo appears in the closing credits.

FX/SFX: Same as the 17th TV logo.

Music/Sounds: None or the opening theme of the movie.

3rd Logo (October 6, 2006)

Logo: On a black background, we see the words "A" and "PRODUCTION" with a space between them. A light blue stamp consisting of "GRANADA" in a chipped box then zooms out and settles in the space.

+'''Logo:''' Same as the 17th [[Granada Television (UK)|TV logo]], except the logo is filmed and "{{Font color|mediumseagreen|{{Font|Optima|GRANADA}}}}" was in green on a {{Font color|blue|blue}} background..
-'''Logo:''' On a {{Font color|purple|purple}} background, we see the silver word "{{Font color|silver|{{Font|Optima|GRANADA}}}}" in a custom 3D semi-serif font zooming in. It settles in the center of the screen and becomes flat, as a light spot travels through it.
-'''Variants:'''
-* Sometimes, the background is {{Font color|blue|blue}}, while the company name might be white or {{Font color|mediumseagreen|green}}.
-*A still variant also exists, seen on some prints of ''Poirot''.
-'''FX/SFX:''' The words zooming and the streak.
+'''FX/SFX:''' Same as the 17th [[Granada Television (UK)|TV logo]].
-'''Music/Sounds:''' A whooshing noise.
+'''Music/Sounds:''' None or the opening theme of the movie.
-'''Music/Sounds Variant:''' On the ''Sherlock Holmes'' episode "The Golden Pince-Nez", the remaining seconds of the closing tune are heard before the last part of the whooshing noise.
+'''Availability:''' Rare. Seen only on the movies ''Ghost World'' and ''The Gathering''. The logo did not appear on the U.S. release of the former.
-'''Availability:''' Rare, appeared as a home entertainment banner on DVD releases, such as ''The Forsyte Saga'' and ''The Attic''. It was also used on a Russian DVD boxset of ''Poirot'' before the [[Carmen Video (Russia)|Carmen Video]] logo and after each episode. It also plastered older Granada logos (and the LWT logo) on ''Cold Feet'', ''Poirot'' and other shows, both on DVD releases and local broadcasting stations, and appeared on the movies ''Ghost World'' and ''The Gathering''. Despite appearing as a in-print logo on the DVD version of ''Jeeves and Wooster: The Complete Series 1'', don't expect this to appear on it as all two discs use the Granada Media logo.
 '''Editor's Note:''' None.
