Huh, I didn't know the original Tyne Tees logo ever appeared in colour. Didn't they introduce the stacked TTTV logo as soon as colour launched?

No, the TTTV was introduced in around September of 1971,over a year after they went colour.

Before this they were using the 1968 style logo with the curved text and "Colour Production" below the logo, superimposed in yellow over the programme.

I have no idea when the version without text came in but it looks to have been used in parallel with the earlier one.

They were a bit unusual in using a chime version of the "Blaydon Races" tune, both before and after the logo change, over a static ident, only retiring this in around 1974. This was used only in pres, the ident being silent before programmes.
