Logo description and captures by Shadeed A. Kelly


Background: Silver River Productions is a British television production company that was founded in 2005 by Daisy Goodwin that specializes in comedies, documentaries, factual entertainment, and arts. On March 1, 2012, Sony Pictures Television acquired a majority stake in Silver River. In 2013, Goodwin left Silver River Productions until it was shut down in 2015.

Nicknames: "SR", "Leaping Fish", "Jumping Fish", "The River"

Logo: On a black background, we see a white curved river drawing in creating the letter "S" with the name "silver river" below. There is a magenta box that fades in and we later see a small fish that's smiling, jumping out of the water by creating the letter "r". A copyright stamp is seen underneath.

Variants
  • Most of the time, the word "for" appears under the logo and the logo for the broadcast network appears underneath. Such as: BBC, Channel 4, or BBC Three.
  • Sometimes, the logo would appear left aligned.
  • On 638 Ways to Kill Castro, the logo is still.
  • Appears in-credit on The Supersizers, The Diets That Time Forgot, and How TV Changed Britain.
  • On the Pulling special, the letter "A" is seen above the Silver River logo. The word "Production" is seen below "silver river" with the word "For" and the BBC Three logo seen below.

FX/SFX: The river drawing, the box fading in, and the fish jumping out.

Music/Sounds: The end-title theme of the show, none, or a weird chime that almost sounds similar to the 1985 Buena Vista Television theme.

Availability: Common. It's seen on such programs and specials like Perspectives: Sergeant on Spike, Grow Your Own Drugs,
Pulling, Supersizers, The Diets That Time Forgot, Natural Born Sellers, Harlots, How TV Changed Britain, Housewives & Heroines: A 17th Century History for Girls, and A Question of Taste, among others.

Editor's Note: None.
