They're going to send the seven dwarfs and the soldiers off of Toy Story to Maidstone for a rummage in the attic.

Oh come on, that was an awesomely awful train pun. The HST as the forum header is why I wandered in, as it and the last few pages started to wander topic wise. HST discussions are best left on the unofficial HST thread on metropol, I'm assuming there is one.
As you were.

Ladies and gentlemen, here we have it. The final edition of Coast to Coast:
RI
Any idea what typefaces are used to make the Coast to Coast logo? COAST looks similar to Compacta although a close comparison reveals subtle differences. Wikipedia states that is it Eurostile bold condensed but it isn't identical to the standard version. I can't work out what TO is.
Am I correct that the TVS logo was Clearface Gothic?

It could be that the COAST TO COAST logo (the TO is in a different typeface to the COAST) was custom designed as 3D elements by a designer, possibly just using a typeface for inspiration.
In the 80s it would have been less easy just to buy a typeface off the shelf and import it into a 3D package, life wasn't that simple back then. The logo 3D modelling could have been done manually, or been based around a bitmap which was then converted into a vector model for 3D rendering manually.
The 2D flat text will probably have been generated by a caption generator from that era, like an Aston 4/Caption or similar Chyron model, or if the graphics were post produced in a Harry, then the Paintbox (or possibly a Cypher) would have been used.
