Hi guys.

Does anyone know what the BBC Font - used in trailers and endboards etc - was before the BBC changed to Gill Sans and the straight B B C logo?

Also, if you do, and have it, could you possibly send it to me?

Thanks

Surely you jest, pretty certain it was Futura in varying weights.

Helvetica Italic for Corporate Logos (Such as |B|B|C| News ) and Futura for everything else.

Sorry, but the font used in the corporate logos (not including the BBC lettering itself) was Futura Bold Italic Condensed with wide tracking.

I would guess that the lettering in the boxes was Helvetica Italic, and everything else was Futura in some form.
