1st Logo (April 12, 1998-2000)

Audio: The end theme of the show.

Availability: Seen on some television movies, like Rosamunde Plitcher's Coming Home and Nancherrow.

2nd Logo (May 19, 2000-January 5, 2006)

Visuals: On a CGI nighttime ocean water (in blue), the letter “P” slowly fades in bluing. A shadow appears behind the “P”. A blue-white light writes out a cursive “Portman” and a line of streaks forms the word “ENTERTAINMENT” on the bottom.

Variant: A shortened version exists.

Variants:

Sometimes, it shares the screen with other logos.
Most of the time, the logo can be seen in a white background box.
When this company was bought by Digital Rights Group in 2006, their logo began appearing below the Portman logo with the text "a member of" at the top left of the two logos.
When DRG introduced a new logo in 2010, their logo was no longer seen on this logo, but there was a disclaimer below the Portman logo reading "Distributed by Portman Film & Television. A DRG Company".

Technique: A still, digital graphic.

Audio: None or the end theme of the show.
