I've been holding this one in for a long time, and - like most other people here - I wanted to get this out of my system.

I've been interested in getting my hands on a couple of typefaces.

Both versions of the classic Sky font:

The 2007 LIVING typeface..... if it even is one:

and like the title says, the 2004 "LIVINGtv" typeface:

I've also been curious as to who designed the classic Sky fonts - I'm not sure if I asked that at one point or not...

Regardless, here's what's up. You can private message me if you want.

Looking at the 2004 LivingTV brand; I would suggest it's a variant of VAG Rounded, possibly even two typefaces not just one (the bottom of the 't' looks suspiciously elongated, perhaps 'handdrawn'.

The 2007 brand doesn't look like a font to me, or rather the 'V' doesn't - I would suggest that it's actually I/ kerned and adjusted to appear as a V. Maybe Mazzard chopped and changed a fair bit?

The old Sky font; I recall there was a site which had this font available for download - may have been a very good redrawing of it and I think it may have even been done by our very own mdta. It was on an ancient presentation site (rp-networkservices or something? My memory from 2006 is a little hazy but maybe someone still has it)

The Sky typefaces used for the logos etc was designed by MIles Newlyn.

I did do a font containing the logos back in the day.
