On The Armando Iannucci Shows, the logo has a byline "A Pearson television company", the talkback logo and "production" are lowercase, and an in credit Channel 4 logo is used rather than "for Channel Four". Also, all are animated: Channel 4's logo fades in first, "talkback" flips in after that, and then the rest of the text fades in.

FX/SFX: The fade-in and fade-out or none.

Music/Sounds: The end theme of the show, or none.
