Background
Gold (formerly UK Gold, UKTV Gold, and G.O.L.D.) is a British TV network. It was created in November 1, 1992 as a joint venture between Thames Television and BBC to show classic BBC comedy programming. Gold, as well as its sister networks, are currently owned by UKTV, which is a TV company formed in 1997, owned by BBC Worldwide.
UK Gold
1st Logo (November 1, 1992-1994)
Logo: Basically the UK Gold logo at the time, which is a white/blue rectangle with "UK GOLD" in blue/white with the rectangle formed by a triangle connection. The logo has several variants with an golden retriever interacting with the logo in a way.
Variants: Here are all of the known variants:
- Launch: On a white background, a golden retriever (named Goldie by locals) can be seen in the middle of the screen, wagging its tail. He then becomes excited and then looks up in the sky as an sound of an airplane plays. This causes Goldie to run off screen and and then come back in later, dragging the UK Gold logo in. He then sits up and fades out, with the logo moving to the center of the screen.
- Flowers: Goldie can be seen running over a purple line representing an hill as an flower pops up in the bottom right corner and disappears. Another one appears in the other corner as Goldie runs back over the line and run towards the screen. The background then turns a blue hue as the logo zooms in. Goldie then runs up to it and opens the white section like a door, revealing light, and goes inside. The logo then shuts and zooms out, with the "O" lighting up and multiple flowers appearing in front of it.
- TBA.
FX/SFX: 2D animation. This was done by Hatmaker Films in Boston, Massachusetts.
