ITV Schools

I suspect the reason it lasted until 1993 is that a) it doesn't really look like a logo - particular as Schools didn't use the 3D version of it, and b) with the 1989 ITV logo being so much more to promote the network C4 certainly weren't going to encourage it to be on screen for so much every weekday morning, whether ITV were providing the programmes/selling the adverts or not!

The main reason that the ITV Schools on 4 logo wasn't updated during the 1989 ITV rebrand was that it was felt it wouldn't have fitted in with the graphics for the service. Besides, having spent quite a bit of time and money on the 1987 graphics, I would also imagine that there was a general reluctance to then spend yet more money on updated graphics.

I'm sure that many schools (mine did especially) used to get the tapes ready at the start of the programmes and pause it until needed.

Now of course schools have interactive wipeboards and tend to just get clips from YouTube.

IF were been good my school used to have the clock counting down. Here is the strangest thing off all, I was in a Chemistry class in High school and it must have been 6 years since the branded had been dropped, but the programme was still useful. When that clock appear half the class started humming and singing along with it

Yeah, the 1989 logo definitely doesn't look suited to kids stuff. CITV was quick to ditch their 1989 logo too, and didn't use the corporate logo again until the 2006 ITV rebrand.

The schools pres and the BBC equivalent are of an era before video recorders when we were shepherded into the "TV room" to watch programmes as they went out.

By the time that pres was dropped its purpose was redundant.

Have a look at what is on screen while "The Journey" is playing and tell me that isn't 3D.

Hey, we still watch 'Scientific Eye' episodes in (my) Science(s)

I remember that my primary school used a Betamax for many years.

Videos from 1986 in 2015? We had the 60s and 70s episodes of How We Used To Live in 2004.

My secondary school went through a process of dubbing betamax to VHS with the aid of a certain tame sixth form media student.

One of my classrooms had one of the first 'SMART Boards' installed, just in time for me to save the day and find a stream of the Pope's funeral (Catholic school) on Yahoo, of all places - apparently they hadn't looked that far.
