1st Logo (1985-1989)


Visuals: On a black background, a white line expands out as a diamond zooms in. The light then flashes, forming the white text "A S P E C T" over the diamond. Extra credit information fades in below the logo.

Variant: On one programme (name is currently unknown), the logo fades from the final shot of a grinning green-skinned man, with the line positioned over it to make seem like his gold teeth were sparkling. The logo then moves into its usual position.

Technique: Analog CGI.

Audio: The ending theme of the programme.

Availability: Seen on several Aspect documentaries and TV shows from the era, like Wax on Wheels.
