I have two theories.

First theory is I suspect that was meant to be the end board style for productions that involved multiple franchises as designed by the design company, it clearly didn’t last though as I imagine itv companies weren’t too happy with their name relegated to the bottom with a generic itv logo.

The second theory could simply be it was an adhoc effort by Thames as there is something about it that says it came from Thames in the early days of this itv era, but without seeing the Grampian programme, this theory can’t be proved.
