Central
Its believe In ealry 1983 more colourful moon was used as front/end cap for TV shows http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GpwyVvZyRk Autumn 1983 S3 Bullseye More information needed.

Central Strips were introduced to the IVC studio by at least December 1982, before being added to feature in Central's own promotions in 1983

The "one to watch" launched around August 1985 for continuity purposes only with some junctions still using announcers in-vision. At this time, the ordinary Central ident was still being used at the start of programmes. It looked a bit odd linking from the cake to the globe, but it did happen. The networked cake production animation started in 1988 and lasted for around 12 months when it was decided by the network that only static prod caps were to be used. We obviously kept the animated cake locally. Hope this is helpful. By the way, the Central presentation caption for acquired programming was replaced with a Central cake end ident.
