1st Logo (1999-2001) | 2nd Logo (1999-2004) | 3rd Logo (2001-November 30, 2004) | 4th Logo (November 1, 2004-2012) |
Granada Media Group PLC was formed in 1995, bringing together Granada's subsidiaries under one roof.
Logo: On a black background, we see blue lights dimming toward the logo. Then it lights up, and we see an abstract "G" appear in blue, along with the white word "GRANADA" and the blue word "MEDIA", both in 3D below. Then the logo shines and the lights dim out, and we see a white flash shine appear, moving and causing it to disappear. The animation then reverses.
Technique: CGI animation.
Music/Sounds: An ascending synth theme.
Music/Sounds Variant: None or the end theme of the show for the variant.
Availability:
Final Note: After it was retired, home media releases would use the main animated version of the 3rd logo.
Logo: On a light blue steel background, we see a globe rotating. Then the "G" circle piece appears and a light blue arrow is drawn through the logo. The arrow then connects to the "G", forming the "G" logo from before. The globe disappears and zooms out, then we see the black word "GRANADA" appear below the logo, along with the blue word "MEDIA".
Technique: Same as above.
Music/Sounds: None.
Availability: Seen at the end of Granada Media's programmes like season 1 of Rosemary & Thyme. This was also used in tandem with the next logo.
Logo: On a purple background, we see the silver word "GRΛNΛDΛ" in a custom 3D semi-serif font zooming in. It settles in the centre of the screen and becomes flat, as a light spot travels through it.
Trivia: The still version's endcaps were designed by Rob Curtis.
Variants:
Technique: Simple CGI.
Music/Sounds: 4 whooshes, one by one after split seconds, or the closing theme of the show.
Music/Sounds Variants:
Availability:
Logo: On a black background with purple flashes, we see soft lines forming the letter "G". The line on the letter "G" is replaced by the word "GRANADA" from before with the text now appears in Futura font and the purple bar appears fading in.
Variants:
Technique: Simple computer animation.
Music/Sounds: A guitar riff followed by an electronic piece of music, or the closing theme of the show.
Music/Sounds Variants:
Availability: Common, as it was highly used in movie and TV show production, sometimes plastering older logos.
Final Note: ITV shows began using the ITV Productions logo since January 16, 2006. Jungle Run, the CITV game show continued to use the endcap until the show's ended on November 29, 2006 while ITV-produced shows airing on other channels continued to use the endcap until 2009 when it was replaced with ITV Studios branding.
