I'd like to nominate this monstrosity from CITV's Old Skool Weekend from 2013:

Hopefully you mean 2003? A Thames television production from 2013, goodness me!

Yes, they do produce shows you know!

Let me put this in language you'll understand.

The program, and thus the endboard, were produced whenever it was - 1992 or something.

The DOG and the screenshot were from a programming strand on CITV from 2013.

"Old School" is somewhere you'll begin attending when you turn 11.

At this point, I'm now nominating the huge, opaque and unsightly DOGs used on Eurosport's channels.

It must be 1989 (and probably after September due to the usage of the ITV generic font), because that was the 21st anniversary logo. It changed again in 1990.

Haven't got a screencap, but Disney Channel's humongous DOG takes up nearly a quarter of the screen.

Community Channel's DOG is pretty big and intrusive.

Quite often that's simply not true. Just about every drama on ITV3 for example.

Would this not have to date between July and September of 1989 - they still had the old 'Thames Colour Production' skyline endboard until they actually got to the 21st anniversary in July didn't they? And would they not have moved over to the slightly different 'for ITV' version of the endboard once the corporate look was introduced in September?

You know who would love this thread? DVDFever Dom Robinson. He loves DOGS. I believe he is still a member here but hasn't posted in sometime.

I think it used to be even bigger than that in the 4:3 days.
