The new logo will probabally be hip and funky like everything else to do with music. Ill be watching it, but only the first 30 mins- Corrie on at 7:30.

The 1990-1994 logo looks much better then the current logo

Agreed! 1991-1994 had style. I can't seem to find a video of it anywhere... can anyone help please? Very Happy I understand the theme was carried over from 1987, wasn't it?

Whatever the logo will be, it'll certainly have some big `O's in it!

I'm really old me, I remember this one:

My first memory of TOTP was seeing The Human League on it singing 'Don't You Want Me', I must have been about four years old!

Yes, I remember that one and the great title sequence:

The theme tune at that point was superb as well!

My earliest memories of the show are also when I was about four; I remember seeing the video to John Lennon's 'Imagine' when it was re-released in 1980 and Toyah singing 'I Want to Be Free' in 1981!

I'm not sure the logo will change. According to Ceefax the studio has been redesigned with bigger stages and a retro look. I have a feeling that they will keep the old logo and have new titles and graphics in 16:9. The first new show will be an hour long special. I remember reading somewhere that its going to be a bit like CD:UK with interviews and news slots as well.

I still think the late 90s chrome set was the best ever. I think they should dumpt the retro idea. Its out of fashion now. It should be modern and all 'millennium'. Mind you - Chris Cowey does look like he's stuck in the seventies with his hairstyle.

They have converted a tea-bar to an interview area for TOTP. They have also got another area converted for another interview space - I guess with all these different strands of TOTP they need it! (like TOTP Prime).

The story goes that they couldn't afford any new cameras in the referbishment, so the TOTP studio will beg, borrow steal cameras from other studios.

Well i am thinking the new logo will be clean and modern, maybe even grafite type writing.

They might just bring over the existing cameras from Elstree

The 1995-1998 TOTP logo was based on the TOTP2 logo of the time- they had been using a simalar logo since 1994, just with a 2 on the end.

They could do a modern logo


we should do a new thread, in mock designs for people to post what they think it should look like.
