ITV Regional News Rooms

In the Central News room (west) they still have the old ITV logo on the walls, windows but of course not ON the TV set! I noticed this when they did some reports off set.

Has anyone else got to see thier regions inside the building on TV etc... with old logos after the rebrand?

It would be good to know

Border sometimes use the newsroom for updates etc. They did have a big ITV Border logo (like the one above) and a map of the region made up from the blocks in the background. But it has now been removed, and nothing put up in its place. Its only the ITV Border vans that still carry that logo. Some even still have the Border Chopsticks on them!

Chopsticks? Please tell us more, my dear fellow.

The image above is the 1995 ident (from TV-Ark), the last ident that featured the classic Border Television's logo which they'd used from launch. People often remarked that it looked like chopsticks in a bowl.

Does anyone know whether any of the buildings have been given a "makeover" with the new logo?

If I get chance over the next few days I'll pop down to Westcountry at Plympton and see whether they've got rid of their hideous blue & yellow plastic cladding

I walked past the Birmingham studios on Sat 8th Apr, and they still had...

...signage on the outside of the building. And the four squares "Central News" logo on the reception desk wall.

The transfer that was added to one of the foyer windows for the summer 2004 de-camp (see here) is STILL there too!!!

When I was in Leeds a couple of weeks ago, the YTV building still had the white...

...lettering on the front, as per the original chevron logo, but sadly without the chevron since it blew off a couple of years ago.

Am I right in thinking the red GRANADA TV lettering at Quay Street can't be changed as it's listed?

Really? I hope not.

The only kind of list that those ugly 1960s letters should be on is a demolition list!

I can't imagine that teal-green plastic cladding would be very much of an improvement though...

When you get to the top of the stairs at ****, you're greeted with four, square uplighters shining up at you through the floor. Three yellow, one blue.

It'll take a few shillings to get them shifted, and that's from a NEW building.

thats bad for ITV's reputation as I really like Central news from Birmingham ! I The whole place should have had the new logos put in by January 16th!! I can't believe that is STILL on the windows as well!

I'm still confident that the story about the YTV chevron 'falling off' is a load of baloney. If it were the case, if only ITV had the nostalgic heart to put it back up, to remind us of YTV's chevron.

Back on topic, Tyne Tees still have the old ITV Tyne Tees logo on Television House in Gateshead. They showed the outside at TTTV on North East Tonight when it snowed. ITV are so lazy, but Kent House so far as I'm aware is up to date. Typical ITV eh?
