Never heard the Anglia flag being called "hateful" before. I'd honestly love to see some footage from the final day of the Knight and the first day of the Flag. It must've been a very interesting transition (especially because Anglia dropped their old mechanical clock for an electronic one in the process).
4:24 So satisfying to hear a rare occurrence of the word 'laugh' pronounced correctly on TV. Where I was brought up, in Central land, we also don't have larfs or barfs, we have laffs and baffs.
Well maybe they'd decided on their new typeface...but not the triangles yet? When they were looking for a new identity, the choices were "THE knight, A knight or Good (K)night"
At that time Anglia were forced to retire their iconic silver knight to give the company not just a new logo but to give it a more modern on-screen image in time for the 90s.so the lettering you see on the telethon trailer as ITV were preparing in time for 27-28/5/88,was a hint for their new look identity which began on 21/03/88.before that date anglia kept their new logo under wraps & was never unveiled before that date to the press & the public until it appeared that date at 9.25am.
Really odd that in the final days pre-rebrand Anglia had apparently become so unnecessarily embarrassed by their old look that they didn't use it at all outside of the clock, ident and production slide, to the point that their branding had become a messy mish-mash with various 'ANGLIA' captions in different fonts, alongside using Central's pseudo-corporate ITV brand on trailers and on the Telethon promo they had no branding at all...and then one of the few remaining bits of Knight pres complete with Handel's Water Music would re-appear for a junction.

1:01 what on earth is that Anglia slide? I've never seen them use a logo like that.

Thank you both! I note that there's also a transitional logo behind Michael Speake at 3:05 .
I was 3/4/5 years old when theses aired on Anglia.
TV like we'll sadly never see it again.
Cool
