Rediffusion London Productions

Background

This is the production arm of Rediffusion London.

1st Logo (September 22, 1955-April 5, 1964)

Logo: Essentially a still version of the 1955 Rediffusion logo, with either "Presents" or "Channel Nine" being replaced by "An Associated-Rediffusion Production" or "An Associated-Rediffusion Network Production"

Variants:

There exists production, network production, and network presentation variants for this logo
Later versions of this logo has the text appear bolder than it was previously.
This logo can appear during the end credits of some shows
- On The Circus is Back, Olympia, this variant has this logo transparent.
A rare inverted variant exists.

Technique: None.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the programme.

Availability: Extinct.

Pretty much of Rediffusion's programmes have been wiped by Thames.

2nd Logo (April 6, 1964-July 29, 1968)

Logo: Essentially, a shortened version of the 1964 Rediffusion logo, except the text is already formed, and the word "PRODUCTION" is shown below the logo.

Variants:

The first production version from the first year only has the already-formed version of the 1964 Rediffusion logo.
A Christmas version used the same effect from the station ID.
On Farewell Arabia, the logo is smaller, like the network ID.

Technique: Simple cel animation.

Music/Sounds: None or the ending theme of the programme.

Availability:

Was seen in-credit with animation on Ready, Steady Go! VHS releases in the mid-1980s.
The Christmas variant was seen on the first episode of Do Not Adjust Your Set.
Was fallen to victim with Thames' wiping of the Rediffusion archives.
