Anyone got any examples of other shockers - eg an itv logo which looks like it was drawn on Word Art by a 7 year old?

I've heard the latter referred to as an endcap or prodcap but there is every chance of that being a made up name by a pres site!

(not white) on some programmes (can't remember which it was but it was fairly recent).

For what it's worth, ITV seem to have very strict brand guidelines (I'm sure I read them a while ago but I think you need to log-in to see them now) and it seems to have worked, as I've not seen a mock logo on an endcap (or if I have, it was very good), so that inconsistency is fairly trivial compared to some things we've seen on the BBC.

Slightly off-topic I know but might as well ask while we're here, do networked programmes broadcast on STV have "for STV" on the endcap, or is it still "for ITV"?
