The mid-to-late 80s Nine O'Clock News titles are affectionately known as "the flying fish fingers". They were the titles that started with a wide shot of the studio, a voice over, then a shot of the world from space appeared with gold 3d computer graphic lozenges (the fish fingers) flying out of London to create a 3d 9 O'Clock News logo, that rotated down to the bottom left of the screen and was superimposed over the headline pix.
The music started with an acoustic guitar I think and then developed into a really OTT synth and drums thing.
