A year later they changed their logo to a much simpler blue triangle. They only ditched the ITV branding the week after they found out they had lost their license
LWT hels out using their 1989 package for a while and even then included the ITV logo in their own idents

It was their role in providing a basic sustaining service, which the rest of the companies took, or opted around it. Other than that, there was no codified structure in place at the time of 1989.That's not the case, there was no 'sustaining' feed of ITV,. With the exception of Channel, each station was essentially on their own, producing their output from scratch, there was nothing to fall back on
One company, usually Thames or LWT was the 'nominated contractor' this role co-ordinated the schedule and dealt with timing and schedule changes, basically they took the lead.
