Visuals: An in-credit notice, there is a box with a pavement-like texture containing an orange light glowing out of it at the left side and the right side being completely black. "FORGE" in white, with "THE" inside "O", is seen in a large text and aligned to the bottom of the box. Like with many other in-credit United Kingdom, it may be paired with other companies, particularly the BBC and Channel 4 logos. A copyright notice for the company can be seen underneath.

Variants:

• The size of the logo may vary on some shows.
• Sometimes, the glow emitted from the orange light is removed.
• A smaller variant of the logo has the light less warm.
• On Dark Money, the glow is cropped.
• Split-screen credits have this logo, alongside the Channel 4 logo, aligned to the left.
  • On The Accident, a notice for the company, alongside the One Shoe Films logo, is seen underneath, reading "A Forge production, in association with One Shoe Films".

Technique: A still, digital graphic.
