Background

Tetra Films is Alan Horrox's production company that was founded in 1992 after Thames Television had lost its ITV franchise. Its first production was The Tomorrow People.

1st Logo (November 18, 1992-March 9, 1995)

Visuals: On a gray marble background, there is a black box with a white streak and a blue outline part. The gold streak then draws in as the blue text "TETRA FILMS" in 3D zooms out. The word "PRODUCTION" fades in below.

Variants:

On the first series of The Tomorrow People, the logo is inside a tunnel.
Sometimes, a copyright stamp is shown below.
On later series of The Tomorrow People, the word "PRODUCTION" is deleted, and info for either Thames Television and/or Nickelodeon is shown below, along with a copyright stamp.
On OWL TV, the text "FOR CHANNEL FOUR" is shown below.
A still version exists.
On the ITV Schools programme Middle English, after the logo forms, the text which reads "For Thames Television plc" and "© MCMXCII" both fade in below the logo.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: The end theme of the show.

Availability: Seen on Tetra Films programmes, such as OWL TV, The Tomorrow People (1992), Mike and Angelo, the ITV Schools programme Middle English, and Rainbow Toy Shop.

2nd Logo (March 15, 1995-March 7, 2000)

Visuals: On a black background, there is the same Tetra Films logo from before, only the text is in a different font, and is also in 2D with a white outline.

Variants:

In its later years, "PRODUCTION" is shown below.
Sometimes, a copyright stamp is shown below.
On early Cone Zone episodes, the logo is shown next to the 1995 Carlton UK Productions logo.
On the first episode of Cone Zone, the text "FOR CARLTON UK PRODUCTIONS", along with a copyright date in blue is shown below.
On The Canterville Ghost, the logo is stretched.

Technique: A still, digital graphic.

Audio: The ending theme of the show/movie.
