Adrian Ruck has been pondering what might have been and created these TWW idents for the nineties.
The well known TWW "rectangles" ident (257Kb) gets a shiny, new look, while Teledu Cymru's dragon (399Kb) looks rather good against the traditional red and green of Wales. Both are presented with the familiar twelve-note TWW fanfare.
Continuing the theme, Adrian has created this excellent Harlech Ident - in colour! (154Kb) (To view it, please use the protective 3-D glasses given away with this week's TV Weekly.)
Next a few HTV closedowns. All from 1987.
From late summer, the weather followed by the clock. No idea who the out-of-vision announcer is. (315Kb)
A more viewer-friendly example now from Arfon Haines-Davies on Christmas duty. (354Kb)
Closedowns were generally followed by this film and the Welsh and English national anthems. (754Kb)
Bits and Pieces ...
An example of Peter Lewis in action - from 1987. (68Kb)
The high turnover of announcers during the late seventies / early eighties is the subject of this spoof from the 1987 West Christmas tape. Featuring the voice of Michael St John. (208Kb)
Here's an example of HTV's "Night Club" output from 1991 (203Kb)
Another spoof, based on an IBA "Television and Radio" yearbook ad. (303Kb)
