1st Tag (2008-2009)

Visuals: On a starry purple night sky with a black vignette, the camera zooms out of an outline of a map of the UK and Ireland, with stars highlighting the different Premier Inn locations across the two countries. As this happens, the chain's then-current slogan, 'Everything's Premier but the Price', fades in at the bottom. The Premier Inn logo from that era then wipes in, along with its URL in yellow, and shines as the map behind fades out. The logo then glows slightly as the night sky slowly spins.

Technique: CGI animation.

Audio: The ending theme of the commercial (which is .

Availability: It can only be found on a commercial from 2008, which was comedian Lenny Henry's first for the chain.

2nd Tag (2009-2015)

Visuals: On a different starry night sky, which is seen zooming slowly, the Premier Inn logo wipes in, and the chain's slogan and website wipe in below the logo at the same time. The moon in the logo then sighs in a relaxed way.

Variants:

On most commercials from that era, CGI text reading: "PREMIER OFFERS" (coloured yellow), "Rooms from just £29" (with "£29" in white), and "Book now at premierinn.com" (which is coloured purple inside of a yellow box), can be seen in the sky, before the logo starts.
At the end of a commercial from 2010, the names of cities and towns with Premier Inn locations can be seen zooming onto an outlined map of the UK and Ireland, and during the logo, a yellow circle can be seen in the top right corner, with "Rooms from £29" inside of the circle in purple, and the circle glows.
On a commercial from 2012, a different slogan is used, 'A Good Night's Sleep Guaranteed', a text reading "RATED UK'S BEST VALUE HOTELS" is seen at the top right in yellow, and between two square brackets.

Technique: CGI animation.

Audio: The ending theme of the commercial, followed by the moon sighing.

Audio Variants:

On some commercials, the moon is silent or does not sigh.

Availability: The logo, and its variations, are seen on all Premier Inn commercials from 2009 to 2015.
