The words that make up the acronym are just thrown together is what I mean.
Isn't every word and acronym in existence made up? They didn't appear out of nowhere

There was (in a way) - The Great Big British Quiz
DOG TV San Diego
I think we have covered anything. Expect is there an actual dog being used as a dog

Did Nickelodeon ever have a picture of a dog as a DOG? I definitely remember they had a bone, and also some dog-themed ores

Indeed, one cringe-worthy example being G.O.L.D.

Here's a question that hasn't been answered. from the superior "What Is The Score" thread:
They call a digital onscreen graphic a "DOG"... So, if it's superimposed Monty Python-style, is it an analogue graphic? An AOG?
'Python-style', as in
bright words (on a black background) which are projected onto the image – and end credits were done this way for many years, weren't they? (before computers were capable?)
Did any film or TV company use their logo as a DOG before it was actually digital? (In the corner of the screen?) And how did it look?
Inspired by this '80s clip... I think the TVE logo is computerized, but the score is just the arena scoreboard.
There's an early (and remarkably low-quality) "score in the corner" in this clip from 1985. But again, it wasn't shown during most of the coverage. It's from the end of the basketball Cup Winners' Cup final:
Barcelona v Zalgiris, 19.03.1985

They're just big captions aren't they, that Monty Python style? As for credits, well a lot of them were literally rollers you can see this on a lot of episodes of Some Mothers Do Have 'Em for example which quite often includes a roller that physically changes position on the screen 
I'm sure DOGs as we know them now started life in the US, though Wiki seems to suggest the principle started in Indonesia as far back as 1983 followed soon after by Germany and Spain.
However of course we had the infamous Red Triangle on Channel 4 in the mid 1980s when Mary Whitehouse and friends stuck their ore in. You can read about the triangle here:

Just realised my boo-boo, the Some Mothers Do Have 'Em credits are crawlers aren't they? Or was I right first time?

I’m surprised no one posted *whoosh*
You must love Crufts.
This is actually about digital on-screen graphics, a logo or rating you see on your TV screen during a programme.
