Description
Here are my new OCs, the British TV Logos team, based on the two ITV regions (Central Television and Granada Television) and Channel 4, although there uniforms share the same template as the RED/BLU team uniforms, though the symbols of the nine mercenaries of Team Fortress 2 have been replaced by the nostalgic symbols of Central, Granada and Channel 4 on there uniforms, because they grew up in the United Kingdom and watched British television. The team comprises of Central Soldier (real name, Trevor Stewart, born on the 10th of July 1958, born in Birmingham), Channel 4 Soldier (real name, John Crawford, born on the 30th of June 1960, born in West London), and Granada Sniper (real name, Thomas Graham, born on the 11th of May 1966, born in the North West).Related content

I see, and Thanks for the fave,
According to the two Logopedia articles for Granada , the Granada "G arrow" symbol was first used in 1968, and it stayed in use until 2002 for idents in the North West region, and until 2004 in endboards, though from 2001 to 2004, Granada also had an text-only logo that appeared in its own ident , which sometimes plastered over older Granada endboards, which was somewhat strange, and was also used on home video releases, it also plastered over the LWT logo on current UK DVD releases of Series 1-8 of Poirot
According to the Logopedia article for Central , Central Television used the "Central Cake" from 1985 to 1998, here is an ident featuring the symbol.
Channel 4 indeed still uses it old logo, but with changes since 1996.
The first change for the logo saw the logo in a circle
The second change saw the logo in a square
The third change saw the logo with shadows on it
The fourth and current change, saw the old-style logo returning, but with some modifications, and the logo was no longer seen on the idents
Speaking of Central and Granada, there old logos are still preserved on some DVD/Blu-Ray releases of there shows, but many have been plastered over by that annoying ITV Studios Global Entertainment logo
