Central ident names

What do you call the two Central idents used before the cake was introduced? (The mono one that is a bit like a globe, and the multicoloured one). Have they got names?

Isn't cake just a term used by people becuase it looks like a cake. So the globe/moon surly was a globe/moon???

It is a bit of an odd question, I suppose. I just wanted to know how to refer to it correctly. So, I take it it is:

Moon
Multicoloured sphere
Cake

Unless anyone else has any better names?

I doubt that they have official names (other than ''the Central logo''), but moss' suggestions seem as good as any.

What would you call the TVS logo?

Can you guess where this is leading? http://web.ukonline.co.uk/tv.home/forum/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I think it's a bit like a seashell (in shape, not colour). Their region did have a lot of South coast, maybe that's why (?).

i think central themselves called it a 'cake'.
not sure about the first two incarnations though.
as for the TVS logo i don't know what it was called but it was a very good logo and good jingle too.

My mum rekons it was Peacock feathers. Maybe it was just another misc. logo like TSW.

If you look at it, it looks slightly like a T...

I'm sure I read an explaination of the TVS logo once, but I'll be buggered if I can remember it. It'll be on a site somewhere. The TSW logo was meant to signify the landscape of the South West.

On that 20 years of Central News programme that was on recently, they seemed to like referring to the first central logo as 'the globe'. In fact, at one point one of the contributors (an ex-presenter I suppose) calls it something else and his interviewer - who we can't see - corrects him to call it 'the globe'.

As the second logo was basically the first with colours added to the C-shape shadow, it is perhaps official called something like 'coloured globe' or 'globe 2'.
