Visuals: The 1971 BBC logo appears within a copyright notice with the copyright symbol to the left and the year in Roman numerals to the right.

Variants:

• From this logo's debut until the beginning of 1978, the word "COLOUR" would be added next to the logo and the copyright notice would have the copyright symbol next to the logo and have the word "BBC" in it.
  • On some shows, such as seasons 5 and 6 of Dad's Army, the copyright notice would be at the bottom of the logo.
  • During this variant's first year, the copyright notice is not seen, which can be seen on Now Look Here... and the first five episodes of season 7 of Steptoe and Son.
• Until late 1976, the year in the copyright notice would be in Arabic numerals.
• Most shows have the notice in white, but certain shows have it in different colours.
  • On The Fight Against Slavery, the 1971 BBC logo is in a sand colour and the copyright info is also separate from the logo itself.
  • Some shows such as Fawlty Towers, some episodes of Last of the Summer Wine and some episodes of Are You Being Served? would have this variant in yellow.
  • On Les Dawson's Blankety Blank, the notice is in pink with a white outline.
  • On some shows such as the Are You Being Served? episode "The Night Club" and John Lydon: That Was Then This is Now, the copyright notice is black.
  • On the Are You Being Served? episodes "Goodbye Mr. Grainger" and "Anything You Can Do", the notice is in light blue. The latter has it slightly faded, making it appear greyish-blue.
• The notice may either be superimposed over the ending shot of the show or be on a plain background.
• The notice may either appear, fade in, scroll up, or scroll across the screen.
• On the first series of Blackadder, the notice zooms in along with a "Made in Glorious Television" notice, which consists of the text "MADE IN GLORIOUS" inside two thin lines and below is the text "TELEVISION", with the letters going from small to big and back to small. It is also inside thin lines that go from long to short. The colours also vary for each episode.
  • The Foretelling and Born To Be King has it in orange.
  • The Queen of Spain's Beard has it in dark blue.
  • The Archbishop has it in purple.
  • Witchsmeller Pursuivant has it in pink.
  • The Black Seal has the notice in red with a white outline and the "Made in Glorious Television" notice is nowhere to be seen. It also doesn't zoom in and fades in onto a black background.
• On some shows, such as the first series of Terry and June, Victoria Wood As Seen On TV, Jane in the Desert and Blackadder Goes Forth, among others, the 1971 BBC logo in the copyright notice has been replaced with the "BBC" in text form.

Technique: Either a still, computerized graphic, analog scrolling effects, or, in the case of Blackadder, analog zooming effects.

Audio: The ending theme of the show or none.

Visuals: On a black background, two streaks, the left one in blue and the right one in green, slide away from three silver slanted boxes, each of them having the letters "BBC" in Helvetica Neue Black Oblique in white, and are underlined with three slanted lines coloured blue, red, and green, respectively. The boxes start off dim, but brighten up as the streaks go off-screen. This is effectively a shorter version of the 1989 BBC brand sting, which also serves as the basis for the 1991 BBC Video logo.

Variants:

• On The Big One, a ghostly copy of the 1987 logo appears after the logo animates as usual.
• An in-credit version exists from 1988 to 1992, containing the print version of the 1987 BBC logo and the copyright info below structured the same way as the 3rd logo.
• The top text may be placed above the logo such as "For" and "Production for".
  • On As Times Goes By, the text is capitalised.
• From 1988 to 1992, only the copyright notice would be included. Also until 1990, this was not used as much, due to the previous logo's copyright notice still being the main copyright notice at that time, and due to the fact that the Futura Condensed font had yet to become the corporate font of the BBC, meaning early shows to use the 1987 BBC logo as part of the copyright notice, such as the sixth season of All Creatures Great and Small (1978-1990, starting with the fifth episode of that season) and others have both the copyright year and the regional identifier in a different font.
  • On Bottom, the copyright symbol and the logo appears to be drawn with the whole notice in black. The logo becomes inverted when the silhouette of Adrian Edmondson overlaps with it.
  • Like the 3rd logo, some shows, such as some episodes of Last of the Summer Wine would have the 1987 BBC logo in yellow.
  • On Holiday Outings, the 1987 BBC logo is coloured light green.
  • For the copyright notice's first few years of usage until the All Creatures Great and Small episode "Knowin' How To Do It", the copyright symbol, copyright year and the regional identifier were usually in different fonts. Starting in December 1989, following the implementation of Futura Condensed as the corporate font of the BBC, they were updated to use the Futura Condensed font.
  • Beginning in September 1992, a larger version of the 1987 BBC logo is also added below both the smaller 1987 BBC logo and copyright notice.
• In some rare instances, the bars underneath the 1987 BBC boxes are colourised like in the standard logo.
  • On one yet-to-be identified game show, the 1987 BBC logo is black and the bars are still colourised, albeit in very dark colours.
• On the Moving Pictures episode "Who's Crying Now", the copyright notice is on the same row as the 1987 BBC logo.
• On season 5 of As Time Goes By, the copyright notice is aligned to the right and in a less thicker stroke.
• On This is Your Life, "PRODUCTION FOR THE" appears above the BBC notice. Not only that, but the 1987 BBC logo is also within Thames Television's 1990 on-screen logo.
• A variant exists, where the notice simply consists of an outline of the logo with no fill, which can be seen alongside the 1993 Tiger Aspect Productions logo.
  • Within the same Tiger Aspect logo, one variant has the logo with a black fill. This can be found on all episodes of the second and final season of The Thin Blue Line, like the 1997 Oregon Public Broadcasting airing of the episode "Road Rage".
• On some shows, the 1987 BBC logo in the copyright notice is the same regular font as the rest of the text.
• On Sister Wendy's Odyssey, the 1987 BBC logo has an outline.
• On Birds of a Feather, the 1987 BBC logo (excluding the copyright notice) is coloured blue.
• On The Electronic Frontier, the notice is gold.
• On Through African Eyes, the 1987 BBC logo is in a British tan colour. The 1987 BBC logo can also be seen above the text reading "A BBC/RM Arts co-production".
• Occasionally, the in-credit logo is placed on top rather than on the bottom.
• On Great Railway Journeys, the text "FOR BBC TELEVISION" is within the Triple Echo Productions logo and the PBS notice. The copyright also adds "NORTH" after the 1987 BBC logo.
• On Murder Most Horrid, the notice fully reads "for BBC Television" with a shadow effect.
  • On the first episode of the series, "Overkill", only the BBC notice was more wider and missing its shadow.
  • Starting with season 3, the full notice is stacked.
• The Day Today has the same wording as the Murder Most Horrid variant except that the 1987 BBC logo is smaller.
• On The Peacock Spring, appearing before the 1987 BBC logo is Zed Ltd's notice, reading "A ZED Ltd production for"
• On In the Footsteps of Alexander the Great, the 1987 BBC logo appears side by side with the Maryland Public Television print logo. "British Broadcasting Corporation" is also placed above the logo.
• On Playdays, the notice is in blue.
  • On one episode from 1995, the copyright notice is the previous one with the 1971 BBC logo while the big BBC logo on the top is still in its 1987 form.
• A low-budget version of the 1987 BBC logo where the text is in a normal, italicised font and the boxes are less slanted and bigger exists.
• On Latin Spanish prints of season 1 of Teletubbies, the words "Una produccion de Ragdoll para" precede the notice with the logo also in the same row as "para".
• On The Great War, the 1987 BBC logo is grouped with KCET's in-credit notice; both are also separated by a dash.
• On Men Behaving Badly, the 1987 BBC logo appears as a byline for the Hartswood Films logo. Since said logo is coloured green, so is the BBC notice. The top text also reads "FOR BBC TELEVISION".
  • Similarly, on Timekeepers, the 1987 BBC logo is blue like how the Action Time Productions is in the same colour.
• On Small Talk, the copyright notice adds "UK" before the 1987 BBC logo.
• On How Do They Do That?, appearing before the 1987 BBC logo is Reg Grundy Productions' notice, reading "A REG GRUNDY PRODUCTION for". The copyright notice is also positioned to the left side.
• On Muppets Tonight, the top text reads "FOR THE".
• On Naked City 4: The Day of Reckoning, the text is black and the rest of the logo is white with the whole thing having a shadow effect.
• On Arena, the 1987 BBC logo is maroon and is also in a rippling effect.
• On Horizons, the 1987 BBC logo appears above said show's logo, has the bars colourised, and is also in a stone texture.
• On University Challenge, The BBC logo is coloured in the same colours as the 1987 logo.
• On Bob Says Opportunity Knocks seasons 2 and 3 from 1988 and 1989, respectively, the 1987 BBC logo is in the colours of the underlines.
• On Rough Justice, the 1987 BBC logo is dark teal.
• On the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures, the 1987 BBC logo is in a gold texture.
• On Driving School, the 1987 BBC logo appears on the top left.
• On the BBC's Last Chance to See award-winning shorts, (see BBC Worldwide's logo description for more).
• On season 3 of Noddy's Toyland Adventures', the 1987 BBC logo appears on the top of the screen and the words "Produced for" and "ENTERPRISES" are added next to the logo. Similarly, the copyright notice also includes "ENTERPRISES" between the 1987 BBC logo and the copyright year.
• On Over Here, the 1987 BBC logo and copyright notice appear above and below the Over Here logo, respectively.
• On an old TLC airing of The Storm From The East episode "The Last of the Khans", the logo appears within the text reading "An NHK BBC Co-Production" and the copyright notice which reads "© BBC (in its 1987 print logo)/NHK MCMXCIII" appearing at the bottom of the screen, which is then followed by the 1991 BBC Lionheart Television logo afterwards.
• On One World, One Voice, the 1987 BBC logo with the blue underlines appears above the One World logo, with the copyright notice reading "© OWWL 1990" and "Co-production One World" both appearing below.
• On Chelworth, the 1987 BBC logo appears next to the copyright notice.
• On the UK version of U2: A Year in Pop, the 1987 BBC logo appears with the 1997 Dreamchaser Productions logo.
• Like the first two logos, it may either appear, fade in, scroll up, or scroll across the screen.

Technique: Either a still, computerized graphic, analog scrolling effects, or same as the shortened 1991 BBC Video logo.

Audio: A sombre three-note piano piece, followed by the sound of a choir holding the final note. This was composed on a Korg M1 synthesiser. The ending theme of the show or none for the in-credit logo.

Technique: CGI by Red Bee Media.

Audio: An electric rock piece that has five chimes play when the logo forms, which is longer on the extended version. The music was composed by Adelphoi.

Visuals: Three 3D cubes containing the 1997 BBC logo rotate to the left to face the screen. "Productions" then fade in below. Much like the 6th logo, a copyright notice is usually seen underneath.

Variants:

• Starting in 2012, "PRODUCTIONS" is removed.
• On The Weakest Link, the BBC text is in black and the logo itself is superimposed into the end credits.
• On Miranda, the show's title card appears above the logo. The copyright notice is also stacked.
• On Extreme Apprentice Slum Survivors, the logo appears underneath the show producer's credit.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: The ending theme of the show or none.

9th Logo (August 5, 2013)

• 

Visuals: Simply the 1997 logo in black fading in and out on a white background.

Technique: A still, digital graphic.

Audio: The ending theme of the show.

10th Logo (September 7, 2018)

• 

Visuals: Just the 1997 BBC logo slowly zooming in on a black background.

Technique: 2D animation.

Audio: The opening theme of the show.

11th Logo (October 31, 2021-)

Visuals: Same as the 5th logo, but with the 2021 logo, now in BBC Reith Sans Bold.

Variants:

• Starting in 2022, an animated variant exists where the three BBC blocks move into a bar of the multicoloured background and the middle part zooms in before it fades out.
  • An alternate variant of the animated logo also exists, where a family (father, son, mother, in order) looking at the logo on the TV screen at their living room. The colours illuminate the room. This was found in the case study video.
  • A shorter version of the animated logo also exists, where the middle part of the multicoloured background fades out more quickly.
  • This variant also sometimes animates in reverse.
  • A 100th anniversary variant also exists.
  • Three regional variants exist, which include Scotland (blue), Northern Ireland (green) and Cymru Wales (red).
• On BBC Three x Radio 1 The Launch Party, the screen glitches to this logo as well as the Strawberry Blond TV and BBC Radio 1 logos.

Technique: A still, digital graphic. The animated variant uses 2D computer animation done by SR Partners.

Audio: The ending theme of the show or none.

Audio Variants:

• For the animated variant, a three-beat rhythm tune (composed by Zelig) is used. The official onomatopoeia for the soundtrack is "Daphne", named after the former co-founder of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop from 1958 to 1959, Daphne Oram. A case study video can be found on their YouTube channel here and on Zelig's website here.
• On a 2023 print of a 1974 Doctor Who episode and Tubi prints of the pilot episode of Boarders, the animated logo's music sounds slightly distorted.
