The big red "G" is iconic, and 21st century friendly. Global still to this day has no reason to drop it. That "Greater than" logo has to go. no excuses.
Thanks for this and all the other historical TV achives!
I remember watching this in 1977 when my family stopped for the night at a Howard Johnsons...I still recall looking at the channel lineup glued to the set which showed the station coming from Paris. (Aware that Canadians spoke French, I didn't understand why it was in English.)
Ironic: the Howard Johnson's was in London, Ontario -- it had not crossed my mind that there also might be a Paris, Ontario.
Global used to be jokingly referred to in its early days as the Love Boat channel as they showed that program mutliple times a day, including a couple of times in prime time. This bumper pretty much sums up that channel perfectly from that era!!

@streetcarjay No, it has a black background, which is why many of the old logo's are scary.

@iSquishy89 Scary? This isn't scary. The Ontario Educational Communications Authority logo from 1970 with with spooly sound effects is scary.
