→9th Logo (October 6, 1996-February 27, 2000): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLBHV5KFayM |
Adding in some captures and moving production variants over to their own page. However, I think the opening variants for the 1st to 5th logos should be moved other like how the GBH Productions page has both the opening and closing logos. The thing is, I'm not sure since that would be drastically changing the articles. |

'''Variants:'''
* In later years, due to complaints from the Lord Lyon King of Arms, the man in charge of protecting Scotland’s heraldry, the logo was re-filmed with the lion simply zooming in instead. This version also appears to have a slightly smaller box and text.
'''FX/SFX:''' The text moving into their usual positions and the lion spinning in. Lots of choppy animation.

'''Variants:'''
* For areas that hadn't yet switched to colour, the logo is entirely in black-and-white, with the background fading to gray.
* The blue color became slightly brighter in 1974.
* In 1977, an additional version was added were we see 6 blue rectangles and 4 purple rectangles moving in from all sides of the screen. They briefly form a tartan pattern before colliding to form 9 light blue squares and rectangles. When then disappear fully, the lines retract to form a light blue STV logo. "SCOTTISH TELEVISION" then slide from within each other and rest when fully separated. This was dropped by 1980.
* There was a still version with the STV logo inside the tartan pattern with the blue rectangles solid and surrounded by 4 light blue squares.
* In the 1980s, there was a rotating version.

* During the summer of 1988, there was a special ident identical to the Christmas ident, but with a shot of a desert before manning down to the thistle made of sand.
* During 1988, there were a number of idents where the thistle is on different colour backgroud.
'''FX/SFX:''' Top-notch CGI for its time, done by Lambie-Nairn. The Christmas and Desert variants are mostly live-action.

'''Variants:'''
* In early 1990, an additional variant is introduced. In which the blue thistle is shown, before the camera panned upward as a series of tiddlywinks come from the top and bottom of the screen to form the words "{{Font|Impact|SCOTTISH TELEVISION}}" in a tall serif font. An abridged version of the music was used here.
* From January 4th up until August 30th, 1991, there were numerous variants in which we see an aerial of Scotland including the Forth bridge, which fades to the thistle logo against a black background.
* During 1992, there were a variant that takes place on a marble-like background. The thistle, appearing to be made out of glass, flips out from the right of the screen, and the screen starts to form "frost".
'''FX/SFX:''' The cloudy sky and the tiddlywinks.

One or more descriptions on this page are missing or incomplete. If you have any further information on these logos, please consider editing this page to make our descriptions more complete. |
Logo: Against a black background, we see the text:
in a serif, jumbled-up font.
FX/SFX: None.
Music/Sounds: None.
Availability: Extinct, just like lots of old logos from the UK. Additionally, several copies of early STV programs were destroyed in a fire around some time in late-1969.
Editor's Note: None.
Logo: Against a black background, we see 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.
FX/SFX: None.
Music/Sounds: An eight-note horn and drum fanfare, followed by the announcer saying, "This is Scotland".
Availability: Extinct.
Editor's Note: The fanfare, announcer, and sheer darkness may spook some.
Nicknames: "Spinning Lion Rampant", "Zooming Lion Rampant"
Logo: For a split second, we see 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:
FX/SFX: The text moving into their usual positions and the lion spinning in. Lots of choppy animation.
Music/Sounds: 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: Extinct.
Editor's Note: The loud music isn't very nice with the cymbals and the lion spinning in with the choppy motion is very jarring.
Nicknames: "STV Tartan", "Zooming STV", "STV Colour", "Boxing STV", "stv"
Logo: Against a black background, we see 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:
FX/SFX: The zooming letters and the fade to blue/grey. The blocks forming the logo for the tartan variant.
Music/Sounds: A French horn fanfare or none.
Availability: Extinct for the original and animated version of the additional version which was so far only seen before Scotland Today.
Editor's Note: None.
Nicknames: "The Thistle", "CGI Thistle", "The Colorful Thistle"
Logo: Against a black background, we see 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:
FX/SFX: Top-notch CGI for its time, done by Lambie-Nairn. The Christmas and Desert variants are mostly live-action.
Music/Sounds: A dramatic synth bass line with a mellow nine-note woodwind fanfare with an autoharp-like flourish.
Music/Sounds Variants:
Availability: Saved on shows from the era.
Editor's Note: None.
Nicknames: "The Tiddlywinks", "The Thistle II", "CGI Thistle II"
Logo: 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 colors. The camera slightly turns upward to view the final product.
Variants:
FX/SFX: The cloudy sky and the tiddlywinks.
Music/Sounds: A synthesized tune with a series of chimes that are timed to the falling tiddlywinks.
Music/Sounds Variants:
Availability:
Editor's Note: None.
See ITV for description.
Nicknames: "Silver Thistle", "The Thistle III", "CGI Thistle III"
Logo: 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.

Availability: Saved on programming from the era, like Taggart, Wheel of Fortune and Rebus.
Editor's Note: None.

Variants:
FX/SFX: The panels and zooming.
Music/Sounds: A rather uninspired jazz-like tune, or an equally uninspired guitar tune. This is sometimes accompanied by a continuity announcement.
Availability: Extinct.

Logo: There is a random clip shown at the beginning at the logo. Later, it flips to a still picture, followed by a series of them. When the logo zooms out to the left, it reveals that they are inside of a diamond-shaped photo album on a dark blue background. The diamond then shows different colors before closing into a white arrow and bands of the colors appear in the background. "stv" in the same font then fades and flips onto the arrow as the URL appears on the bottom right corner.
