1st Logo (September 20, 1993-2000)

Visuals: Same as the 1989 Tiger Television logo but with the word "TIGRESS". The text in this logo is often different depending on the show, crediting multiple co-producers (e.g. WNET).

Variant: On In the Wild Lemurs with John Cleese, this logo shares the screen with the 1997 BBC logo.

Technique: Fading effects.

Audio: The ending theme of the programme.

Availability:

  • Seen on In the Wild and Monkey Business, the latter of which is also preserved on Amazon Freevee's prints.
  • However, the former programme has this logo plastered by the WNET and PBS logos on American tapes.

2nd Logo (2000-Mid 2000's)

Visuals: Over a white background is the word "Tigress" in the same font as the 1998 Tiger Aspect Productions logo. Above it is a black curve with "productions" underneath.

Variant: On Seven Deadly Strikes, the logo is seen within the 2001 Granada Media Group logo.

Technique: A still, digital graphic.

Audio: The ending theme of the programme or none.

Availability: So far, it was seen on Riddle Of The Plague Survivors and Seven Deadly Strikes, respectively.

3rd Logo (Mid 2000's-2009)

Visuals: Same as the 1998 variant of the 2nd Tiger Aspect logo, but it reads the same as the previous logo without the curve and the byline reading "an IMG media company" appears below the logo.

Variant: Sometimes, it shares the screen with other logos.

Technique: A still, digital graphic.

Audio: The ending theme of the programme or none.

Availability: Can be seen on some nature shows and documentaries from this period, although many use an in-credit notice instead. Some programmes that have this logo include Will Work for Nuts, Nature World, and early episodes of Austin Stevens Adventures.

4th Logo (2008-2018)

Visuals: The letters from the last two logos fade in within an unsequential order, followed by "PRODUCTIONS" wiping in from the left.
