Logo: On a white canvas background, a drawing of three light blue people holding a paintbrush, a megaphone, and a twirly speech bubble are inside a rough drawing of a blue box with a gold line drawn underneath. Near the beginning of the logo sequence, these people are seen drawing with a paintbrush, raising a megaphone to their mouth, and talking respectively. Underneath the logo is the text "A WARK CLEMENTS & CO. LTD Production for" with a co-producer's logo or in-credit text underneath.

Variants:

• Sometimes, the background is pure white.
• An early variant has the company name reading "WARK CLEMENTS & COMPANY".
• On My Name is Albert Watson, the logo is paired with the Big Star in a Wee Picture Productions logo.

Technique: 2D animation.

Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the programme.

Availability: Extremely rare, as a lot of these programmes are no longer reran and rarely preserved on home media. Seen on Football, Faith And Flutes, Space Cadets, Ruby Grierson: Re-Shooting History, and My Name is Albert Watson.
