It was simply the full name of York Student Television and the website address crammed into the main YSTV logo for the benefit of anyone who didn't know what it stood for - hence the name. Although knocked up very quickly it made it onto many t-shirts, [[merchandise]] and even the giant YSTV banner used at events.

			==Past logos==
			Not much is known about other early YSTV logos, however [[Election 84]] does feature a rather intimidating logo featuring a quite Orwellian Eye of Ra. A chunkier logo with vertical lettering appears in photos from the mid-80s, and on some paperwork from the period. In 1986 the launch of [[Primary Colour\|colour broadcasting]] saw the introduction of a new colour logo, but it didn't last very long, and by [[Election Night Live 87]] the [[cube logo]] was in use. 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.

			===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" {{unsure\|which was used in the 1990s}}.

			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. 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]].
