In 2016, it committed over £150 million to new programming which resulted in more Original shows across the network than ever before.

Designed by in-house agency, UKTV Creative, the branding visualises the multi-disciplined process that goes into producing TV shows and features a handcrafted logo drawn by award-winning hand lettering artist, Alison Carmichael.

Zoë Clapp, chief marketing and communications officer adds: “Branding our content in this way will make it clear that UKTV Originals are made exclusively for our network. The new branding and sonic will open and close every UKTV Original show, helping to develop our reputation as a commissioner of popular and award-winning original content.
