That's right; the network used this design, which was actually a c 1990 promo endboard backdrop - so in itself is not specific to Border - but looks like someone thought it would make a good ident regardless.
The "one to watch" launched around August 1985 for continuity purposes only with some junctions still using announcers in-vision. At this time, the ordinary Central ident was still being used at the start of programmes. It looked a bit odd linking from the cake to the globe, but it did happen. Front-end idents were dropped in Sept 1987. The networked cake production animation started in 1988 and lasted for around 12 months when it was decided b the network that only static prod caps were to be used. We obviously kept the animated cake locally.
Hope this is helpful. By the way, the Central presentation caption for acquired programming was replaced with a Central cake end ident.
But as we have seen cake was used as ident in 1986, SO I was correct it was never used as ident at start, and so was Andrew where it just flooded the place.
My recollection is that the Central cake/One to Watch campaign began at the same time as the ITV (network, produced by Yorkshire TV) One to Watch campaign
LWT seemed to introduce branding at the beginning of the Autumn season so if 4/9/92 was the first Friday in September then that's correct.
That clip does make me wonder: if Home & Away was on at 6 all week from then on, what did LWT show at 6:30? They'd stopped doing their Friday evening magazine shows by then

I have to ask, how long did Thames kept the different music pure week going? was it only commercial albums ?
Here is the First Album of the 1985, Des o Conner singing, I just called to say I love you.

Here's one from the 3rd January 1985 with Des singing his own version of The Cars 'Drive'
Tom Edwards mentions that it was only for that week.
