More information needed.
Central Strips were introduced to the IVC studio by at least December 1982, before being added to feature in Central's own promotions in 1983
*The cake is introduced---The "one to watch" launched around 5 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.
The networked cake production animation started in 1988 and lasted for around 12 months when it was decided by 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.
* Cake was dropped: Last Central idents started on 6 OR 20 April 1998 using the word central instead of the cake.

* hearts Nov 8th 1999 - Oct. 28th 2002
There were two "Granada in the North West" variants for regional programmes.
The 1990 version had its own form up and tune and this continued to be used when the blue ident came in.
When the newer white ident came, a matching North West variant arrived as well, but apart from the wording, the ident was
the same as the standard one. The flags, I'm not sure on when they came and went but am certain they didn't totally replace the standard stripe ident.
The 1995 one is correct, I believe. There were two variants. The normal one and one shot at an angle. The angle one didn't last long and probably
went when the first 'weird' idents arrived. As more of these idents were introduced, the normal ident was seen less, mainly before news and serious programmes.
However, its usage increased slightly once Yorkshire took over transmission in 1998, as it was the lazy option for joint continuity.
