Nicknames: "The Large 3", "Channel 3 North East"

Logo: 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, is formed below in a similar fashion.

Trivia: The logo's theme was used on one of the radio stations in the first Grand Theft Auto game, Which is taken from an out of print sample library called "Orchestral Colors", Composed by Peter Siedlaczek and arranged by Marcin Pospieszalski.

Variant: A production variant has the name "TYNE TEES" appear against the background.

FX/SFX: The 3 and the letters being formed. The production variant is still.

Music/Sounds: A rather heroic fanfare. The production variant is silent.

Availability: The normal version is extinct, and was only used as a station ID. The production variant is very rare, and appeared on shows and TV movies from the period. However, the DVD releases mostly cut off this logo, so it could be found on old tapes of Wingless Bird and Round Tower.

Editor's Note: This logo annoyed more people than it delighted. It has even been said by the company who produced it that it was done in one afternoon.

10th Logo (March 1998-November 1999)

Nicknames: "TTTV Returns", "TTTV IX", "CGI TTTV VI"

Logo: On a similar blue background to the one in the previous logo, we see 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 stylized serif font. After a while, the letters turn yellow and become more three-dimensional, while "TYNE TEES TELEVISION" appears below.

Variants:

There was an evening variant of this logo, with the background in a darker shade of blue.
There was a variant of this logo used before news programmes, with the map replaced by news footage.
There was also a variant used before sports programmes, with the map replaced by scenes from football matches.
The 40th anniversary variant used a ruby background.

FX/SFX: The letters turning yellow.

Music/Sounds: An abridged version of the heroic fanfare from the 9th logo.

Music/Sounds Variant: The ruby background variant uses some pulsating music similar to the 1st logo.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: Like with the previous logo, it annoyed people more than delighting them.
