BBC Cymru Symbol

This is a symbol BBC Cymru/Wales used in the early seventies. A lovely, simple but clever concept, like the BBC Schools Diamond. I also like the Cymru "C" which I always think looks like a particularly promising sausage. Though it's one of my earliest TV memories, years later, I couldn't quite remember how it looked. I drew a few pictures based on vague recollections and my friend Dave Jeffery made some trial animations from them which were interesting in themselves but not quite right. Then in 2002 a chap called Steve Jones very kindly sent me some off-screen pictures and Dave was able to use them as an accurate guide to recreation. This video is available in HD for no other reason than I wanted to see how it would look on YouTube. I suppose it's pretty pointless for simple graphics since there's little detail to benefit from the extra resolution but I thought it would be interesting anyway. I've done a bit of 'distressing' to Dave's animation - added some noise and geometric distortion, faded the edges a bit and even added some chromatic aberration - the slight colour misregistration on edges. The latter is pretty spurious since the real model would almost certainly have been photographed by a monochrome tube camera with the colour added electronically. The greatest shame in uploading it to YouTube is that the deinterlacing process replaces the smooth 50 fields per second motion with juddery 25 frames per second movement. The announcer is Robin Jones and the music is a version of the traditional Welsh tune 'Tros y Gareg' by John Baker of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.
