Monkey Kingdom is a British independent production company that was established in 2000 by David Granger and Will Macdonald. On November 14, 2010, NBCUniversal International (now Universal International Studios) acquired the company in order to grow its UK and international portfolio.
Visuals: There is a white background which is smoke (most likely from the spray in a off-screen, as if the monkey draws the logo) covering up the screen then it quickly wipes out completely turning the smoke away to reveal a brick wall background with a monkey's tail being seen on the bottom right of the screen below with a minimalist monkey head with the letter "m" inside appearing on the brick wall with the word "MONKEY" being seen underneath the monkey's head. Then the monkey's tail disappears leaving only the logo.
Variants:
Technique: 2D computer animation.
Audio: Either a hissing sound then the sounds of a monkey with a swiping sound or the ending theme of the show.
Audio Variant: ABC airings of My Kind of Town used a generic theme.
Availability: Seen on their shows that they produced from 2002 right until 2011 such as The Passions of Girls Aloud, Man v Cartoon, A Comedy Roast, Swag, Young, Dumb and Living Off Mum, and early episodes of Made in Chelsea among others.
Visuals: On a white gradient background, a thick grey outline of the monkey head from before is seen waving back and forth while coming closer towards the screen. "MONKEY" fades in below when the logo stops. The monkey head afterwards blinks three times while tilting its head to the right and back to normal.
Variants:
Technique: CGI.
Audio: Waving and whooshing sounds that ends with the sound from the first logo albeit without the swiping sound.
Audio Variant: Sometimes the ending theme of the show can be heard with the sounds.
Availability: It debuted on new seasons of Made in Chelsea and appears on new shows that they produced from 2011 onwards such as Don't Hate the Playz, Trust Me, I'm a Game Show Host, The Real Housewives of Jersey, The Emily Atack Show, Comedy Game Night, Britain's Best Parent?, TFI Friday, and The Real Housewives of Cheshire, among many others.
