▲=== Background ===
▲Television South replaced [[Southern Television (UK)|Southern Television]] as the holder of the [[ITV (UK)|ITV]] franchise for the South and South East of England on 1 January 1982. It proved not only to be considerably brighter in presentation than its predecessor, but more ambitious too - both on the ITV network and in other countries. As well as pushing to become a major ITV station, it acquired a number of program libraries from abroad, then purchased [[MTM Enterprises]] in 1989. However, this was to have a negative impact on the company's finances - so much so that, in the auction-style 1991 franchise round, it felt that the only way it could retain its franchise was to put in an ultra-high bid for it. Eventually, this did not succeed, and thus TVS ceased broadcasting on 31 December 1992, to be replaced by [[Meridian Television (UK)|Meridian Television]]. TVS was then sold to International Family Entertainment, who launched an British version of The Family Channel. The Walt Disney Company is now the legal successor to TVS which also owns the majority of the back catalog, though the logos were bought by other interests, which formed an independent production company of the same name. In 1987, TVS was renamed to TVS Television South, and renamed again 1989 as TVS Television.

'''Trivia:''' The base logo was created by John Hayman, while the on-screen ident was produced at The Moving Picture Company in one of the agency's earliest works.
▲'''Logo:''' Against a black background, two lines on the edges of the screen are drawn outward simultaneously, followed by two more pairs of lines.

It then zooms out to the left as "'''TVS'''" (in white) unfolds horizontally to the right of it.
'''Variants:'''
*After the flower forms, it would sometimes flip around as it zooms out and "TVS" would quickly zoom in instead. This was used for weekend
*Several prototype versions

'''Technique:''' 2D computer animation. However, one filmed variant of the weekend version was done with a mechanical model.

Television South replaced Southern Television as the holder of the ITV franchise for the South and South East of England on January 1, 1982. It proved not only to be considerably brighter in presentation than its predecessor, but more ambitious too, both on the ITV network and in other countries. As well as pushing to become a major ITV station, it acquired a number of program libraries from abroad, then purchased MTM Enterprises in July 1988. However, this was to have a negative impact on the company's finances, so much so that, in the auction-style 1991 franchise round, it felt that the only way it could retain its franchise was to put in an ultra-high bid for it. Eventually, this did not succeed, and thus TVS ceased broadcasting on December 31, 1992, to be replaced by Meridian Television. TVS was then sold to International Family Entertainment, who launched a British version of The Family Channel. The Walt Disney Company is now the legal successor to TVS which also owns the majority of the back catalogue, though the logos were bought by other interests, which formed an independent production company of the same name. In 1987, TVS was renamed to TVS Television South, and renamed again 1989 as TVS Television.
Visuals: Against a black background, two lines on the edges of the screen are drawn outward simultaneously, followed by two more pairs of lines. The result is a trumpet-shaped flower that takes up the entire screen, which is coloured red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple (from left to right). It then zooms out to the left as "TVS" (in white) unfolds horizontally to the right of it.
Trivia: The base logo was created by John Hayman, while the on-screen ident was produced at The Moving Picture Company in one of the agency's earliest works.
Variants:
Technique: 2D computer animation. However, one filmed variant of the weekend version was done with a mechanical model.
Audio: An eight-note horn fanfare, with the first three notes playing in sync with the animation. It was composed by Sussex-based composer Richard Hill.
Availability: This was only used as a regional ITV ID. It can also be seen on archival site TVARK, while the Flash remake of two versions can be heard on 625.uk.com.
Visuals: There were two main versions:
Trivia: TVS never used the ITV 1989 corporate ident, instead using this logo.
Variants:
Technique: CGI by John Hayman.
Audio: An uplifting horn fanfare composed by Ed Welch. The opening notes differ slightly between the two main versions.
