*Sometimes, the text below reads either "PRESENTS" or "PRODUCTION".

'''Technique:''' None.

'''Music/Sounds:''' The opening theme of the show.

'''Availability:''' Extinct, as TWW's programmes have fallen victim to wiping. Seen on the Welsh show ''Land of Song''.

<gallery mode="packed" heights="200">
TWW (1967) (From - The Peacekeepers South Arabia Radfan – Parachute Regiment).png

'''Variant:''' A superimposed variant exists.

'''Technique:''' None.

'''Music/Sounds:''' The ending theme of the programme.

'''Availability:''' Extinct; was so far only seen on ''The Peacekeepers''. As of now, only the variant has been found.

'''Technique:''' None.

'''Music/Sounds:''' None.

<gallery mode="packed" heights="200">

'''Availability:''' Extinct; Harlech-era programmes have not been preserved due to wiping. Thanks to its short lifespan and lack of known programmes, this logo is harder to find. It has appeared on HTV's earliest programmes, but it is unknown which one has this logo intact. Like before, the only known trace of this logo comes from the Transdiffusion website.

'''Variants:'''

* Another in-credit variant has the logo and the word "{{Font|Times New Roman|LIMITED}}" next to it to make it read "HTV LIMITED" under the Hemisphere Productions Limited and the Sidney Glazier Productions text, superimposed in the background of a man praying. This can be seen in the 1973 TV movie ''Catholics''.
* Another in-credit version has the "Produced by" text on the side of the logo with "A {{Font|Impact|NEWLAND-RAYNOR PRODUCTION}}" above it and "in association with The Callender Company" below it. This was seen in the 1984 TV movie ''Arch of Triumph''.
* On ''Robin of Sherwood'', the logo is on the same row as "AN" and "PRODUCTION" within the end credits.
* On ''Deadly Strangers'' and ''The Woman He Loved'', "''in association with''" appears above the logo. The former also has the logo within the end credits.

* On ''Y Gwr O Gwr Yr Aran'', the Cymru Wales variant has a copyright stamp added.
* On ''A Breed of Men'' as well as most shows between 1970 and the early 80s, "'''''COLOUR PRODUCTION'''''" appears underneath the logo.
* On an HTV West airing to ''An Officer and a Gentleman'' as well as shows during the 1980s, only "Production" or "Presentation" is underneath the logo.
* On ''Y Byd ar Bedwar'', the logo is smaller and against a black background.
* On ''Clive’s Walks'', the logo is paired with the Gunnell Goulding Films logo. The latter is on the right with "''production for''" leading into HTV West's. Additionally, a copyright stamp with a big copyright symbol is seen underneath Gunnell Goulding's logo.
* A rare variant had the HTV logo beside the text "LIMITED", in which "and" can be seen below. There's another one with "Ltd" in a much plainer font located beside it.
** On ''Three Wishes for Jamie'', "LIMITED" is simplified to just "LTD" and "and" was removed.
** An in-credit version of this variant also exists.
* An extremely rare co-production variant exists where the logo is paired with six other ITV franchise logos on a blue background. HTV's logo appears on the center right.
