14:55 lovely use of the Central ident fading into the Blockbusters intro - I’ve always thought that was genius work from Central. That must have been 1987/8?
Good to see the end cap for the 1994 season of Blockbusters, which was on Sky, not ITV. Notice how it says (37:00) “A Central Programme”, not “a Central production for ITV [or even Sky, as it should have been here]”.
@Rene: I am not sure what year that was but, I think it was before 87 as the logo was changed slightly by that time too became known as "The Cake" with the symbol being in blocks with a the rainbow bit blocked also. This one still looks like the older logo so its a lot earlier than 87. Central wasn't the only region to do that blending stuff, Yorkshire TV's logo would morph into the 3 2 1 titles, and London Weekend TV morphed into Russel Harty's titles also.
Central is one of more diferenciables ITV franchises, since the adoption of the cake logo in 1985 they have much interesting variations with differents textures, forms and colours, the ATV's reestruction give very results to the company
Even though I live in London the Central logo always has great memories. Family Fortunes, Bullseye, Auf Wiedersehen Pet, Woof, Palace Hill, Emus World to name a few. Absolutely despised Carlton in London and also ruined Central
7:02 I recognise that little snippet, but can't put my finger on it. I much preferred the 9th logo, but being very young when it was introduced it was my first. In the early 90's, on my way to school, I used to pass a truck with this logo on it. Possibly an old OB vehicle that had been sold off and never repainted. I always used to think how much better it was
Granting Carlton an ITV licence back in 1991 was a terrible mistake. The ITC should've disqualified them on quality grounds and not only Thames would've stayed but Central would've been saved from Carlton's awful branding.
True, but then it's probably likely that Granada would have bought it instead. Regardless the brand would have disappeared, it's all Maggie Thatchers fault for bringing the Broadcasting Act 1990 in and allowing consolidation of the network ownership
The 1985 introduction of the Cake really made Central professional compared to the utter embarrassment it came on air with in 1982. But god it became utterly ridiculous how many variations of the logo were made. Saying that it’s a shame the current management of ITV would demand a rebrand
Interesting story behind Central's name. I'm not far from their old Lenton Lane, Nottingham studios (Central East before they moved from up near their Temp base near Ikea in Giltbrook... Building is still there along with stage 7, part of Nottingham University), apparently someone had the idea of registering variants of Central television, in order to profit from the potential sale of said name rights, so in order to get around this, Central's official name was Central Independent Television.
1:10:00 This Central Video Cake Logo Is Taking From The 1991 The Video Collection UK VHS Release Of Rosie And Jim The Original Series Volume 4 Butterflies And Other Stories. Thanks Mate. X❤
Black and white ATV logo was one of my first tv memories growing up in Coventry. My aunty worked for Central in Brum when it started. I can tell I stopped watching tv around 1985 cos I don’t recognise the idents after that 😂
Curious to know, why did Central advertise Channel 4 programmes during certain periods? Surely they'd want people to stay on ITV for revenue? Or was it different back then?
At the time, both ITV and Channel 4 where run by the Independent Broadcasting Authority (IBA). This was changed with the broadcasting act of 1990 which replaced the IBA with the ITC who did not run Channel 4 and let companies buy up franchises (which is why Carlton took over)
You are literally not watching sonic videos you are literally watching on ITV company that literally purchased by a no longer existing company so this means you’re not watching a sonic video and you are meant to play sonic after watching it
@Reylan Avila Agua Alter Official YT 2nd channel: Whenever one of the older programmes from the archives was broadcast, it would have a "Central Presents" bumper on it first before the old ATV ident. This would happen for the educational children's programme, Stop Look Listen, Tiswas, The Muppet Show, and the Crossroads soap. Central wasn't an actual ITV franchise change, it was a rebrand. Because the IBA [ Independent Broadcasting Authority ] wanted ATV to concentrate on being Midlands based, and if they didn't comply they would be replaced, so they renamed themselves Central Television [ full name Central Independent Television ]and gave their Elstree Studios to the BBC and had two studios in Birmingham and Nottingham serving both East and West Midlands areas. So technically they were the same company in retrospect but with a different outlook, name and ident.
Lew Grade's legacy no longer exists... ironically its final demise sped up by Michael Grade. Oh and Tiswas... what a mental kids show!! Chaos lol! Was Central the new franchisee or was it just a simple name swap?
The IBA weren’t happy with ATV’s corporate structure, so they insisted on a change of management and a change of name. Basically, same company, different bosses.
1:07 For those that want to skip the intro, click this time stamp.
What's the sound from
Intro sound is from DTS.
9th logo, the solid globe with the rainbow edge was the best logo.
Ah, the days of different regional logos, the good days of ITV.

They did similar with the 2nd series of Auf Wiedersehen Pet. The Central Ident turned into a Roulette wheel ball that Dennis was losing money at.
that logo was used in 1983
Central set the bar so high when it comes to jingles and animation that it was difficult for the other ITV stations to compete.
Animators: So how many variations of the Cake ident do you want?
Central: *YES*
I grew up with the many variations of this logo. I had no idea viewers in other regions were seeing the same logo over and over...
Miss these idents, the extended one on 52 minutes which got played when there was technical problems is great.
Growing up in Stoke, this is why ‘central’ was my first word

i grew up in Leicestershire in the 80s and only ever knew the Central idents... i wish i was around to see the ATV ones 😊
Interesting :-)
There was some programmes in 1980s in Leicestershire which had the ATV logo but can’t remember what now
When i was 21 I was in London and I seen the ATV logos,I was born in 1969
23:45 This is the logo I've been looking forever for! I saw it on a promo tape once (late 1980s?) and haven't been able to find it since!
Yes, yes, the letters shimmer so beautifully there!
Even though I live in London the Central logo always has great memories. Family Fortunes, Bullseye, Auf Wiedersehen Pet, Woof, Palace Hill, Emus World to name a few. Absolutely despised Carlton in London and also ruined Central
I Like Televisions Idents From ITV Beacuse Is Very Creative
@NeonPROD except itv franchise logos made in 1989

I love both ATV and Central logos (previous ones before text only ones) the best
Thank you for the memories of good old central

ATV. I remember that as a kid. From around 81 i was 6 years old.. TVS was our channel then 😏
Oh yes! It's my favourite logo

My intros aren't that long anymore. My newest one is only about 16 seconds. That is a good tip for other RUclipsrs, though.
