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.
Technique: None.
Music/Sounds: None.
Availability: Extinct, just like lots of old logos from the UK. 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.
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.
Technique: None.
Music/Sounds: An eight-note horn and drum fanfare, followed by the announcer saying, "This is Scotland".
Availability: Extinct.
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:
Technique: Cel 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.
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:
Technique: Appears to be cel animation. The rotating variant appears to be Scanimate.
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 The production variant was seen on a few shows and maybe seen on VHS of those shows. There is a Flash remake of both versions on 625.uk.com.
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:
Technique: 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. The animated version was seen on some prints of Taggart.
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 colours. The camera slightly turns upward to view the final product.
Variants:
Technique: CGI.
Music/Sounds: A synthesized tune with a series of chimes that are timed to the falling tiddlywinks.
Music/Sounds Variants:
Availability: The production variant appeared on several shows, such as Taggart. The animated end variant is used on season one episodes of Fun House. The version with the 1989 ITV logo and copyright can be found on season two episodes of the UK version of Wheel of Fortune.
See ITV for description.
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.
Variants:
Technique: CGI.
Music/Sounds: A four-note horn fanfare.
Music/Sounds 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.
Logo: 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.
Music/Sounds: A more calm-sounding version of the 8th logo's music.
Music/Sounds Variants:
Availability:
Logo: We see 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.

Variants:
Technique: CGI.
Music/Sounds: A rather uninspired jazz-like tune, or an equally uninspired guitar tune. This is sometimes accompanied by a continuity announcement.

Variant: In August 2007, The "S" was gold for the station's 50th birthday.
Technique: Mostly live-action.
Music/Sounds: Unknown.
Availability: Can be found on programs from the era.
