Logo descriptions by Reactor37654
Logo captures by Reactor37654 and Mr. Logo Lord
1st Logo
(1959-1969)
Nickname: "Tri-Ts of Doom"
Logo: On a black background, an anchor zooms in to the middle of the screen. Once it zooms in, the anchor morphs into a "T" and two smaller "T"s emerge from the "T" from the left side and the right side. The circle part of the anchor then moves to the left and reveals the words "TYNE TEES" while moving to the right and vanishes after. "TELEVISION channel 8" then appears below the giant "T".
FX/SFX: The zooming of the "T", the morphing, the animation of the "T"'s and the circle part of the anchor.
Cheesy Factor: The animation and zooming are really rough.
Music/SFX: An announcer says "Tyne Tees Television, channel 8.", and then a nautical sounding fanfare plays.
Availability: Extinct. Logo enthuiasts in the UK have preserved this logo on tape, like most, if not all logos from ITV.
Scare Factor: High; the announcer, rough zoom ins (a la Four Star and the V of Doom), and music can unnerve many people.
2nd Logo
(1969-1979)
Nickname: "TTTV"
Logo: On a blue background, four yellow lines go by really quickly from all four sides of the screen. Once they all intersect across the screen, they morph into a stylized "TTTV" which consist of a "T" and a "V" connected together and a "T" connected on top of the two letters. "Tyne Tees" then 
appears below the logo and then six red diamonds appear below "Tyne Tees" which then turn into "Colour".
FX/SFX: The lines moving and morphing, "Tyne Tees" and "Colour" appearing.
Cheesy Factor: Still rather rough animation.
Music/Sounds: A majestic horn fanfare, sounding somewhat like the 20th Century Fox fanfare.
Availability: See logo 1.
Scare Factor: Medium; the music may seem loud, and animation a bit tacky, but this logo is much tamer than its predecessor.
3rd Logo
(1979-1988)
Nickname: "TTTV II"
Logo: On a black background, the "TTTV" (same design as the 2nd logo) moves toward the center of the screen in Star Wars text fashion, leaving a trail of rainbow lines in the process. Once it reaches the center of the screen, it flips back to normal and it's outline flashes at the screen with a rainbow effect. The background then turns blue, and "Tyne Tees" zooms out from the bottom of the screen, making a white trail and stops below the "TTTV."
Variations: There is a Christmas variation of this logo. The background is lighter and there is this cheap holly border surrounding it.
FX/SFX: The "TTTV" moving, the rainbow lines and flashing, "Tyne Tees" zooming out.
Cheesy Factor: Seems highly Scanimated.
Music/Sounds: A synthesized tune.
Availability: Seen on such shows like Chain Letters.
Scare Factor: Low; this is a favorite of many.
4th Logo
(1988-1990)
Nickname: "CGI TTTV", "The River", "TTTV III"
Logo: Against a yellow BG textured to look like sand, a stream of gray-colored water moves across the screen in a wave-like motion. It then splits into several streams and forms a shape. The camera turns upward to reveal that it just formed the Tyne Tees logo from before, which has a drop shadow. "Tyne Tees", in white, fades in below.
FX/SFX: The water, which is very nice CGI for the time.
Music/Sounds: A synthesized fanfare sounding a little similar to logo 3.
Availability: Extinct, once again.
Scare Factor: Minimal.
5th Logo
(1989-1991)
Nickname: "ITV Generic"
Logo: On a black background, a "river" of colors is seen. Below it is "Tyne Tees" in italics and on top of the river is the Tyne Tees TTTV logo. The 
TTTV logo wavers and disperses into the riverone-by-one as various images of ITV programs fly by from right to left. One by one in the river, the letters "ITV" appear, in sync with the music. The "V" is cut in half and a triangle appears where the other half should be. In the triangle lies part of the franchise's logo. The river fades out.
FX/SFX: The "River" and the ghost-like appearances of the images.
Cheesy Factor: The wavering of the TTTV looks rather fake, but everything else looks clean.
Music/Sounds: A rather airy synthesized flute theme that culminates in a 5-note trumpet fanfare. Composed by David Dundas as an ITV jingle.
Availability: Extinct; it was only used as a channel ID. This was actually a generic ITV logo modified by the network to feature the Tyne Tees logo.
Scare Factor: Low; this is a clean logo.

7th Logo
(1991-1992)
Nickname: "Tri-Colored TTTV", "CGI TTTV II", "TTTV V"
Logo: A "screen" containing several images of England flips up from the bottom on a black BG. The screen then rotates around to reveal more screens. They then flip upward to form the same logo from before, which is colored with red, blue, green, and gray diagonal stripes, and situated against a bright light. "TYNE TEES", in a white serif font, appears below.
FX/SFX: The "screens".
Music/Sounds: The same David Dundas fanfare from logo 5.
Availability: Extinct.
Scare Factor: None to minimal; depends on what you think of the screens suddenly flipping up at the end.
8th Logo
