1st Logo (February 4-July 29, 1995)
_(From_-_Tubi_print_of_the_first_episode_of_The_Big_Garage).png)
Visuals: On a blue background, there is a hand-scripted "W" zooming back. The text "INCHESTER" is wiped in, followed by "entertainment". This is set to the right of the logo for Prisma Productions, all of which takes place on a rainbow-gradient background with copyright info below.

2nd Logo (January 3, 1998-1999)
_(From_-_Jellikins_Jellytastic_VHS).png)
Visuals: During the ending credits, there is a white box containing the hand-scripted "W" enclosed in a blue square. Next to it, there is a blue rectangle with "WINCHESTER" inside and "television" underneath, in a scripted Bodoni font.
Variant: On Jellabies (a.k.a. Jellikins), it shares the screen with other logos as in a traditional British end-card, which takes place on a cartoonish cloudy background, being revealed from behind a cloud while zooming in. Also, the word "television" is replaced with "productions".
Technique: A still graphic. The Jellabies/Jellikins variant uses 2D computer animation.
Audio: Same as before.

3rd Logo (October 2, 1998-2001?)
_(From_-_Old_CLG_Wiki).png)
Visuals: On a black background, an orange glow gives way to the "W" from before, which gets drawn in. It zooms toward the top left corner as a bar of light forms the text "INCHESTER", while "FILMS" flies in and tilts upright, settling below the former text.
Variant: A version exists, featuring the logo in white on a black background.
Technique: 2D animation.
Audio: A warbling spacey synth theme, followed by two shrill hums, ending with a sharp synth reverb.
Availability: The variant appeared on Divorcing Jack. Can probably be seen on any films from the period like Lighthouse and Wild About Harry.

Variant: On Bounty Hamster and The Wheels on the Bus, the logo is in the white and blue box, but the "W" shines and it is brighter.
Technique: 2D animation.
Audio: Same as before.
