John Craven's Newsround (1978)

Concept and creative process

Titles for a daily children's news magazine programme presented by John Craven. The show started in 1972 and is still on air to this day with the title ‘Newsround’ which it adopted shortly before its editor and original presenter, John Craven, departed in 1989. The original title was a simple white on black animation of the logo, which wiped on from left to right and repeated several times to the urgent musical theme, keyed over the background of the lead story.
