The 2007 style of opening titles launched with Episode 1981 (26th February 2007).

By early 2007, much of the cast featured in the opening titles had departed the show. As part of Bryan Kirkwood's revamp of the show, all-new opening titles were designed. Each character is individually shot, performing on a green screen and then cut and composited into a sequence alongside some snazzy pop-art-inspired effects. This meant characters could be added and removed easily, making these the first opening titles created with regular updates being a priority. This style also launched with a brand new theme tune and logo alongside the presentation.

This style launched a new logo for the brand, which featured gender symbols on a pink/blue font. As of Episode 2571 (1st June 2009), the logo became monochromatic with a bevelled gradient effect.

Also featured in this style is the Hollyoaks Later 2008, Hollyoaks Later 2009 opening titles and the May 2010 title card.

This style was originally planned to be used until Episode 2855 (2nd July 2010), but the replacement titles were scrapped and replaced, resulting in a delay.

The final episode to use this style of opening titles was Episode 2905 (10th September 2010).
