Logo: Same as the Warner Bros. International Television 2015 logo, but the banner now reads "TELEVISION PRODUCTION UK". Variants:
- There are some image-only early prototypes, found on the website for Wimbush Immersive. The W and B letters are big, but very apart from each other. The banner text is smaller than the later animated prototype. Each prototype has it's own unique background:
- Variant #1 has the usual blue background.
- Variant #2 has a ligher shade, with each part of it having a tile-like look.
- Variant #3 has the shield on a cloudy background, with the banner saying WARNER BROS. TELEVISION PRODUCTION UK.
- The 2014 prototype has the same differences as the Warner Bros. International Television Production variant.
- A scope variant of the logo exists.
Technique: Same as the 2015 WBITP logo.
Music/Sounds: The 2003 WBTV fanfare.
Availability: Rare.
- It can be seen on an episode of the Indian sitcom Tedi Medi Family.
- The scope variant was only used for a sizzle reel.
