In fact the sign has been there since Day 1 of Granada, so that makes it just a smidge of over 50 Years now, without any form of change. Though between 1956 and 1990 the Granada ident rarely changed. Keeping old signs is a common habit of many ITV stations for whatever reason or another.
Though they stll have plans in the pipeline to move out of Quay Street and into a converted Warehouse located at the back of the current Granada Studios Area.
I can imagine in 20 years time the new bulding with the new [itv] logo on it, and everyone saying it's out of date.

In manchester at the Granada studios there is still the big sign at the top of building from the 1960s.

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

We could be saying that in two years time, knowing ITV.

anglia have a totally different set of titles than all the other regions do they? goodness.
err, no. that's clearly not what i said. As all the other regions, local aspects are included, and historical ones... such as the knight.
Why not yorkshire get their well known moors with the chevron in the background in.

why you no speak english?
Possibly because the Knight is an actual physical object that was perfectly suited to being used as it was in the titles (still life for a kids art lesson) whereas the chevron is a computer generated logo.
It's a while since I did art but I'm sure I was asked to draw apples and houses more often than a big yellow V

The amount of sh*te sentences on this forum never ceases to amaze me. I love that new BBC Four programme, Never Mind The Full Stops. It's so nice to see other people getting as wound up as I do about the way that the English are increasingly sh*te at using their own language. Although, the fact that the epidemic is so bad as to warrant the existence of this new programme, is a tragic reflection of our times.

Sounds like an interesting radio programme! I agree; what is wrong with using commas, semi-colons, dashes and so on? They make sentences far easier to read-- and punctuation cut ambiguity.
For example: "However , he tried-- but failed" verses "However he tried-- he failed". The comma in that instance changes the meaning of the sentence.
Deary me-- I need to get out more!!

I would never write a sentence like that.
"However, he tried, but failed" means something completely different to "However he tried, he failed", yes, but only because of the switching of "he" and "but".
Similarly, I would not use double dashes. They appear to be completely pointless, where a comma is far more adequate.
Also, your spelling of "versus" is comedic.

Apologies... I just realised that I had spelt 'versus' wrong!! Doh. Hoisted by my own petard. I use '
--
' for a dash, because for some reason I can't get a proper dash to work on these forums (that one that features in the 'Symbols' option in
Word
). 
'
-
is actually just a hyphen, and it would be
technically
incorrect to use it as a dash. '--' is next best thing. Check out Bill Bryson's
Troublesome Words
. Well that's what I was taught at uni anyway
The example I used in the post above was from said book; a bit of an extreme example, but I couldn't think a better example off the top of my head. I'm just trying to point out that punctuation makes life a lot easier.
Dragging this thread back to its original point... During Central Soccer Night , there was an exterior shot of the Central Studio-- Central Court still shows the old 'ITV Central' logo (the blue and yellow jobbie) on one of its exterior walls.
