ITV idents in those days were much more authoritative, with their jingles almost as calling sounds to your TV set. It was clear that whichever network was broadcasting was both proud of their brand and wanted you to know that the following programme was made by them! ATV, Yorkshire, Thames and Anglia all had very booming jingles and rightly so. A far cry to today, with ITVs sorry excuse for presentation.

I remember visiting relatives in Bristol in the 1970's,and they had a huge TV Aerial on their roof just so they could pick up ATV from Birmingham-they preferred it to their HTV station.

Happy days, ATV was the midlands Crossroads, ATV Today, wonderful TV. ITV is in a sad state now, at least we still have the wonderful Bob Warman in our region.

Hang on. Are you saying that ITV used to be ATV?

Itv used to be made up of 15 regions all having their own identity, there were regional programmes along with networked programes like Coronation Street etc. ATV held the Midlands francise from 1956-1981, which was then taken over by Central. Itv is now one brand and one company.

I was always under the impression that this was composed by Wally Stott.

(or did he create the animation?)

From what I can gather Wally Stott had a sex change in 1972 and became Angela Morley.

"ITV" didn't have an actual logo as "ITV as a brand name didn't actually eixst. It's first actual logo was "ITV" in aplain font - seen on the "central 1988 ident" video on here.

The only reason why the lightspots were used in that way on the schools and colleges presentation was because ATV (and then Central) operated ITV schools presentation and programme links. Central also operated CITV presentation and programme links.
