Cube logo
There have been lots of variants of the YSTV cube logo used at different points, although all have the key elements of a 3-D cube with Red, Green and Blue faces. They are normally accompanied by the initials YSTV in a variety of fonts and colours, including the "YSTV Worm" which was used in the 1990sUnverified or incomplete information.
An on-air version of the cube, a simple computer animation in which the three pieces of the cube revolve into view with the simple caption "York Student Television" underneath, was used from 1988 (when it was written by Jon Beardmore under the alias 'Jon Le Hacker' for Breaker 88) right through to the logo being dropped in 2000. It can be seen at the start of the YSTV Gold ident.
The last frame of this was also used as a program start / end slide on many productions, as seen below. Another animated version has the three sides of the cube come tumbling past the camera in 3-D to make up the familiar cube, before the camera pans back to reveal the letters YSTV below it. This is used on the start of Breakthru and the 1995 Review of the Year
