'''Visuals:''' On a blue background, the "{{color|#FFD900|'''TTTV'''}}" symbol (designed the same as the 2nd logo) moves towards the center of the screen in ''Star Wars'' text fashion, leaving a trail of rainbow lines in the process. Once it reaches the center of the screen, it flips back to normal and its outline flashes at the screen with a rainbow "candy-stripe" effect. The background then turns blue, and "TYNE TEES" zooms out from the bottom of the screen, making a white trail and stops below the "{{color|#FFD900|'''TTTV'''}}" symbol. |

'''Visuals:''' On a black background, a yellow "river" is seen. On top of the river is the "{{color|dodgerblue|'''TTTV'''}}" logo in blue and below it is "''{{Font|serif|TYNE TEES}}''" in the Palatino font. The logo then wavers and disperses into the river, and in its place, various images of ITV shows fly by from the right to the left, such as the Elizabeth Tower, a white bird, a basketball player, etc. As these images fly by, the letters "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''I'''}}" and "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''T'''}}", followed by half of the letter "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''V'''}}", fade in one by one. Finally, a vertical triangle appears in place of the other half of the "V", containing the left part of the "{{color|dodgerblue|'''TTTV'''}}" against a yellow background (evoking their 1988 ident). The river fades out. |

The circle part of the anchor then moves to the left and reveals the words "TYNE TEES" while moving to the right and vanishes after. "TELEVISION channel 8" then appears below the giant "T".
Variant: At the beginning of some news programs, "TYNE TEES TELEVISION NEWS" can be seen above the symbol and "PRESENTS" can be seen below.
Technique: Cel animation.
Audio: An announcer says "Tyne Tees Television, channel 8", and then a nautical sounding fanfare plays. Composed by Arthur Wilkinson and is also contained in its start-up theme, "Three Rivers Fantasy".
Audio Variant: In some cases, there's no announcer, with the music higher pitched, sounding more cheerful.
Visuals: On a blue background, four yellow lines go by really quickly from all four sides of the screen. Once they all intersect across the screen, they morph into a stylised "TTTV" which consists of a "T" and a "V" connected together and a "T" connected to the top of the two letters. "TYNE TEES" then appears below the logo and then six red diamonds appear below "TYNE TEES" which then turn into "COLOUR".
Technique: Cel animation.
Audio: A majestic horn fanfare, sounding somewhat like the 20th Century Fox fanfare.

The background then turns blue, and "TYNE TEES" zooms out from the bottom of the screen, making a white trail and stops below the "TTTV" symbol.
Variant: A Christmas variant of this logo exists, which was used around 1981. The background is also lighter and there is a holly border surrounding it.
Technique: What appears to be cel animation with slit-scan trailing effects.
Audio: A triumphant sounding fanfare made on a synthesizer.
Visuals: Against a yellow background textured to look like sand, a stream of grey-coloured water moves across the screen in a wave-like motion. It then splits into several streams and forms the logo in light blue and has a drop shadow. The camera turns upwards and "Tyne Tees", in white, fades in below.
Technique: CGI by Digital Pictures in London.
Audio: A synthesised fanfare sounding a little similar to the third logo.
Visuals: On a black background, a yellow "river" is seen. On top of the river is the "TTTV" logo in blue and below it is "TYNE TEES" in the Palatino font.

Visuals: A "screen" containing several images of England flips up from the bottom on a black background. The screen then rotates around to reveal more screens. They then flip upward to form the same logo from before, which is coloured with red, blue, green, and grey diagonal stripes, and situated against a bright light. "TYNE TEES", in a white serif font, appears below.
Variants:
Technique: CGI.
Audio: David Dundas' 1989 ITV fanfare from the fifth logo.
Visuals: A series of thick white flashes move quickly in various directions across a blue and white background, tracing what turns out to be a new "TTTV" logo, three-dimensional and in silver, with the letters in a chunky serif font and not joined to each other. As the "TTTV" is being formed, it turns to face the camera, reflecting numerous colours along the way. When it does face the camera, it shines briefly, and "TYNE TEES", in blue with a white drop-shadow, fades in below.
Variants:
Technique: CGI.
Audio: A composition of four "chimes", two each at the start and end of the logo, and several "swish" sounds as the "TTTV" is being formed.
Audio Variants: Sometimes, an announcer can be heard as well.
Legacy: This is the first appearance of the new TTTV symbol.
Visuals: Against a stylized blue background, a large gold "3" swoops in from the right and zooms out. To the left of the "3", the letters of the words "NORTH EAST", in gold, unfold, with several rings and electricity moving across them. "TYNE TEES TELEVISION", also in gold and in a Friz Quadrata font, is formed below in a similar fashion.
Trivia:
Variants: Sometimes, "888" would also appear in the top left corner as well for programmes featuring subtitles.
Technique: CGI.
Audio: A rather heroic fanfare, ending with Glorious Finale by Peter Siedlaczek from the Orchestral Colours sample library.
Audio Variant: Sometimes, an announcer can be heard.
Legacy: A very unpopular logo.
Visuals: On a similar blue background to the one in the previous logo, there is a map of the North East of England, together with the outlines of the letters "TTTV" (arranged in the same way as before) in a stylised serif font. After a while, the letters turn yellow and become more three-dimensional, while "TYNE TEES TELEVISION" in a Friz Quadrata font appears below.
Variants:
Technique: CGI.
Audio: An abridged version of Glorious Finale by Peter Siedlaczek.
Audio Variants:
Legacy: Like with the previous logo, it annoyed people more than delighting them.
Variants:
See ITV.
Visuals: A montage of various imagery plays out showcasing various landmarks and activities in the Tyne region, overlayed with a blue tint and a grid of dots playing behind them, all in this order:
As the last clip plays, white dots streak in and form a crescent shape on the left side of the screen, with the largest dot situated in the north east and the rest of the dots getting smaller from it, and then it shines brightly. As the shine dies down, it reveals the new Tyne Tees logo with the familiar "TTTV" in a Radiant font along with the dots next to it, all on a thick white stripe that fades out near the end. The background also now shows a rippling cloth with dots fading in and out, as well as the Angel of the North zooming out on the right before settling.
Trivia: The logo was created by Rob Curtis of Oktane.
Variants:
Technique: Live action mixed with 2D computer animation.
Audio: A happy-sounding tune using a piano and violin, which becomes more dramatic as the logo gets revealed. An announcer usually follows it up.
Availability: This logo was only used for regional programming.
