Line 66:
* A still version appeared at the end of programs, sometimes with copyright info below. For color programs, "COLOUR PRODUCTION" would appear just under the franchise's name.
* For the startup, the still version of the logo with a white tube on the left side of the space under the text with "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''IBA'''}}" inside and "INDEPENDENT BROADCASTING AUTHORITY" next to it appears. After a few minutes, it fades into a different Southern logo, same as before, except the star would be replaced with a analogue clock at 21:29 or 9:29pm . The clock keeps ticking and then the screen fades to black after the clock is at 21:31.
* At Southern's final
'''FX/SFX:''' The star forming, the spinning of the star on the last variation.

Southern Television was the precursor to TVS.
FX/SFX: The zooming, descending, and the letters appearing.
Music/Sounds: None.
Availability: Extinct. This logo exists on the 625.uk.com website.
Editor's Note: None.
FX/SFX: The model star turning.
Music/Sounds: Just a soft drum roll while it's fading in, or silence.
Availability: Extinct.
Editor's Note: None.
Logo: On a black background, we see "INDEPENDENT TELEVISION" in a white, bold font. "INDEPENDENT" and "TELEVISION" disappear off the top and bottom of the screen respectively, leaving the screen as an 8-pointed star (more simplified than the previous one), with the southern point extended slightly, which zooms in to the center of the screen. "SOUTHERN", in a white, bold font, appears below the star.
FX/SFX: The zooming and moving of the words.
Music/Sounds: A dramatic horn and flute fanfare, composed by Steve Race, who was the musical director at Associated-Rediffusion. There are two arrangements. The first one has louder and shriller brass with the flutes staccatoing their notes (except their last one). The second one has quieter brass and the flutes slur their notes.
Availability: Extinct.
Editor's Note: None.
Variants:
FX/SFX: The star forming, the spinning of the star on the last variation.
Music/Sounds: A somber 9-note Greek-style guitar jingle. Again, there are two arrangements. The first one is more amateurish and has a more complex chord on the third note. The second one is more elegant and somber.
Music/Sounds Variant: In the early years, a crumhorn fanfare with timpanis would play, which would sometimes be abridged.
Availability: Extremely rare, possibly near extinction. Can be found on the rare Screen Legends VHS release of Beethoven's Fidelio.
Editor's Note: The closedown variant has a very ominous feel to it, and is definitely not a good way to end an ITV franchise.
Final Note: On the same day, Southern Television was replaced by Television South.
