Grampian’s company logo and on screen identity made use of The Saltire, the Flag of Scotland, in all incarnations of the company’s independent life. Grampian’s first on screen ident featured a black, white and grey image of four mountain peaks, which turn into the saltire, with the grey peak at the bottom, against the tune “Scotland the Brave”.
Ident (1961-1971)Colour came to the region at the same time as the 10th anniversary of the station. The replacing ident started with the four sections of the saltire coloured red, yellow, blue and white merging to form a white diamond from which the saltire emerges upon a light blue background accompanied by a harp version of the Scotland the Brave jingle.Still IdentGrampian’s first computer generated ident was introduced in April 1985 and featured various diamond and dot shapes flying around in space, changing colour against a tune of an electronic tune. As the ident progresses, the dots move closer, and the diamonds bend to that it becomes a three-dimensional saltire shape as the ‘Scotland the Brave’ music begins to be more noticeable. The saltire logo then forms up in the place of the box.Presentation
