Visuals: There is a minimalist, rounded brown mammoth on top of the company name in a stacked format, white colour, and capitalization. The logo is seen on a surface that is turning to the bottom right to face the screen. Behind the logo is a black blueprint consisting of several lines sketching the outline of the same mammoth albeit comprised of geometric shapes. When the background finishes moving, it also darkens.

Bylines:

• July 8, 2008-10 November 2021: None.

Variants:

• Sometimes, the background does not darken. As a result, multiple equations and arrows can be seen on the blueprint.
• A still version exists. This variant also presents the logo as an in-credit logo.
• The logo, including its background, may be compressed to share the screen with other logos (including the 1997 BBC and 2013 ITV logos). In other cases, the co-producers' logo may appear within Mammoth Screen's.
  • In other cases, the logo may be cropped.
• On World on Fire, the logo shifts upwards to make more room for the co-producers' logos and notices.
• On McDonald & Dodds, the bottom portion of the background is cut off.
• On the Masterpiece version of Victoria, the entire logo is in brown alongside all the other co-producers' logos and text notices.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: The ending theme of the programme.

• It appeared on numerous British television dramas throughout the 2010's, most notably Endeavour, Poldark, World on Fire, among many others.

• The brighter background variant appears on Lost in Austen, Fearless, Poldark, among others.
