On 10 February 2003, FremantleMedia merged their two successful television production company subsidiaries, Talkback Productions and Thames Television, into Talkback Thames (spelled as talkbackTHAMES). Both companies continued using their respective logos with the Talkback Thames logo added until 2006, when the company unveiled a new production logo combining both names. On 1 January 2012, the company was split into four separate brands under FremantleMedia UK: Thames (entertainment shows), Talkback (comedy shows), Retort (scripted comedy; until 2018) and Boundless (factual programming; until 2020).
Visuals: On a white background with bits of green and blue (the respective colours of Talkback Thames as seen on the 2003 logos) on several corners and the top after a bright light flashes at the beginning, the "talkbackTHAMES" name in green (for "talkback") and dark purple (for "THAMES") respectively, in bold, is seen when it fades in. The byline "A FremantleMedia Company" is shown underneath it in a smaller font, which is also fading in. It is also next to the 1999 Channel 4 "Square" logo.
Technique: 2D computer animation.
Audio: The end theme of the show.
Availability: This is a placeholder logo and was only seen on the pilot episode of The Sex Inspectors.
Visuals: On a blue background, there is a lowercase green "t" inside an uppercase blue "T", both set in Gill Sans Ultra Bold. Both T's slide apart with the lowercase "t" sliding up and the uppercase "T" sliding down. The T's later turn diagonal and have the remaining letters fading in and zooming out with "alkback" above and "HAMES" below. The left side of the background turns green on the lower left-hand corner and light blue on the right side while the logo is animating and the logo zooms out into a white oval-like field. The copyright stamp "© FremantleMedia Ltd [YEAR]" fades in below.
Variants:
Technique: CGI.
Audio: The ending theme of the programme or none.
