Logo
In 1969 Micheal Jeans-Jakobsson, then Station Director came up with the initials YSTV for the newly formed student television station, and they have remained in use ever since. The realisation of those letters into a visual logo has varied considerably over the years since then. Unfortunately the original logo has not survivedUnverified or incomplete information, but is described as similar to the current (2000) logo.
Not much is known about other early YSTV logos, however Election 84 does feature a rather intimidating logo featuring a rather Orwellian-looking Eye of Ra.
This logo (left) also appears in photos from the mid-80's. (It's got some stuff in the way, the actual logo doesn't have the vertical black lines), and on some paperwork from the period.
From the mid 1980s the cube logo was introduced, possibly co-inciding with the launch of colour broadcastsUnverified or incomplete information, The text and rendering of the logo changed over time - a stylised version was in use in the mid 90s, while a capitalised version was in use by the time it was scrapped.
By 2000 this was thought to look dated, and so the current YSTV logo was designed by Matt Hammond and launched in the summer of 2000. This has remained in use ever since, although frequently extended, for example in the Idiot Logo.
