Logo: On a white or black background, a 2D-animated red couch is seen in which a detailed potato with the word "Potato" peeled in falls onto from the top. Following this, the text "Part of ITV Studios" fades in underneath.

Trivia: The concept of the logo is a play on the idiom "couch potato", meaning a lazy person.

Variants:

• Sometimes, the bottom notice is replaced with the 2013 ITV logo.
• Sometimes, it shares the screen with other logos and appears still.
• A variant exists where the Albert Sustainable Production logo is shown underneath.
• Starting in 2021, the logo is smaller with the byline now in capital letters reading "PART OF ITV STUDIOS" and appears on either a dimly lit gray or white background.
• A compressed credits variant exists.

FX/SFX: The potato falling and the text fading in.

Music/Sounds: A boing and then someone from their respective TV shows saying "Potato!".

Music/Sounds Variants:

• Sometimes, either just the boing or the line will be present.
• The ending theme of the show may play over this logo with the sounds intact.
• On series 2 of The Big Reunion, we hear a slide whistle and then an alternate boing.
• None for the still version.

Availability: Current and common. Was seen on The Chase starting series 7, series 2 of The Big Reunion as well as the On Tour miniseries, Autopsy: The Last Hours of... and many more.
