'''Visuals:''' On a black background, a grey "river" is seen. On top of the river, is the thistle from before and below it is the "''SCOTTISH TELEVISION''" in the Palatino font. The logo then wavers and disperses into the river, and in its place, various images of ITV shows fly by from the right to the left, such as the Elizabeth Tower, a white bird, a basketball player, etc. As these images fly by, the letters "I" and "T", followed by half of the letter "V", fade in one by one. Finally, a vertical triangle appears in place of the other half of the "V", containing the lower right part of the "thistle" in light blue against a dark blue background. The river fades out. |

Visuals: Against a black background is the text:
in a serif, jumbled-up font.
Technique: A still printed image.
Audio: None.
Availability: Seen on STV programmes from the late 1950s. Additionally, several copies of early STV programmes were destroyed in a studio fire on November 3, 1969.
Visuals: Against a black background, there are four white squares, each of which are split by two white lines arranged in a cross shape. Inside the squares are (clockwise, starting in the top-left): an "S", the lion rampant, a "V", and a "T", all of which are black. The letters are written in a wide serif font. "CHANNEL TEN" is written below in the same font as the letters.
Variant: Sometimes, there would be no text below at all.
Technique: A still printed image.
Audio: An eight-note horn and drum fanfare, followed by an announcer saying, "This is Scotland".
Visuals: For a split second, there is a white background, which is wiped away horizontally on both sides, revealing a white box opening up on a black background. The words "SCOTTISH" and "TELEVISION" (also in white) drop in from the top and bottom sides of the screen, respectively. Then, a white Lion Rampant (the symbol found on the flag used by the King of Scots) spins in counterclockwise.
Variants:
Technique: Cel animation.
Audio: A rearrangement of the last logo theme played on the flute, followed by additions of a drum roll and a cymbal crash as the lion spins in. Composed by Geraldo, arranged by Ray Terry.
Availability:
Visuals: Against a black background, there are the letters "stv", in a blocky font, zooming in. At the same time, an outline of a second set of the same letters zoom out. As the letters merge, the logo fades to blue.
Variants:
Technique: Appears to be cel animation. The rotating variant was created off a VT Cart.
Audio: A French horn fanfare or none.
Availability: The original and animated version of the additional version were so far only seen before Scotland Today.
Visuals: Against a black background, there are six gray cubes, one long rectangular column, one teal sphere, and a magenta cone shape zoom-out to the left and arrange themselves onto a sheet of metal, forming an abstract thistle shape. "SCOTTISH TELEVISION", in white, fades-in below.
Variants:
Technique: CGI by Robinson/Lambie-Nairn. The Christmas and Desert variants are mostly live-action.
Audio: A dramatic synth bass line with a mellow nine-note woodwind fanfare with an autoharp-like flourish. Composed by Dave Cooke.
Audio Variants:
Availability: Saved on shows from the era. The animated version was seen on some prints of Taggart.
Visuals: Against a dark cloudy sky with a shady purplish floor, three plastic discs called "tiddlywinks", one red, one green, and one blue, roll forward and the camera follows them. They all fall down, one-by-one, in the appropriate order, and the camera showing that they are forming the "head" of the thistle as seen before. As the tiddlywinks fall, they all turn the thistle into their appropriate colours. The camera slightly turns upward to view the final product.
Variants:
Technique: CGI.
Audio: A synthesized tune with a series of chimes that are timed to the falling tiddlywinks.
Audio Variants:
Availability:
Visuals: On a black background, a grey "river" is seen. On top of the river, is the thistle from before and below it is the "SCOTTISH TELEVISION" in the Palatino font. The logo then wavers and disperses into the river, and in its place, various images of ITV shows fly by from the right to the left, such as the Elizabeth Tower, a white bird, a basketball player, etc. As these images fly by, the letters "I" and "T", followed by half of the letter "V", fade in one by one. Finally, a vertical triangle appears in place of the other half of the "V", containing the lower right part of the "thistle" in light blue against a dark blue background. The river fades out.
Technique: A mix of live-action and computer animation effects, designed by English Markell Pockett.
Audio: A rather airy synthesized flute theme that culminates in a 5-note trumpet fanfare, sometimes with the flute echoing at the end. Composed by David Dundas as an ITV jingle. A continuity announcement may be used, as well. The jingle was adopted from the full theme.
Legacy: This logo is a favourite of many UK logo enthusiasts.
Visuals: Against a stylized purple background, the "head" from the thistle, in silver, zooms out and slowly flips around, and as this happens, the other parts of the thistle unfold from right to left, and the words "SCOTTISH TELEVISION" do the same.
Variants:
Technique: CGI.
Audio: A four-note horn fanfare.
Audio Variants:
Availability: Saved on Taggart episodes and other shows such as Hurricanes, Wolf It, How 2, Fun House, Wheel of Fortune, and Art Attack, among others.
Visuals: Against a cloudy purple background, several large glass thistles pan back to reveal the silver thistle from before. A blurry white cloud below sharpens up to reveal the words "SCOTTISH TELEVISION" in white.
Variants:
Technique: CGI.
Audio: A calmer-sounding version of the previous logo's music.
Audio Variants:
Availability:
Visuals: There are some footage related to Scotland, which culminates in the appearance of a modified version of a large square on top with several lights flashing inside it and "scottish tv" (the blue colour around "tv" being slightly lighter) below appearing via a "focusing" effect.
Variant: "An SMG business" byline would be added in later years.
Technique: Live action filmed by Michael Prince, and CGI by ISO Design.
Audio: A futuristic techno tune, composed by Savalas.
Availability: Saved on programming from the era, like Taggart, Wheel of Fortune and Rebus.
Visuals: Like the then-current generic ITV1 ident, there is a montage of various ITV1 personalities, which ends with a shot of the STV logo from before, minus the square on top, against a series of blue panels. The logo zooms toward the camera a bit.
Variants:
Technique: CGI.
Audio: A jazz-like tune, or a guitar tune. This is sometimes accompanied by a continuity announcement.
Visuals: In each variant various people are seen grabbing and looking around a blue "S" on different places. One of them puts the "S" on the center, and it flashes and the word "stv" appears at the left of its bottom area.
Variant: In August 2007, The "S" was gold for the station's 50th birthday.
Technique: Mostly live-action. Designed by Elmwood Design in Edinburgh.
Audio: Unknown.
