Totally agree, and it's the little things like that which I love finding out about 20 odd years down the line.
Although looking at the three examples of this design we have in 16:9 you can see that despite the future being widescreen, they weren't designed for 16:9 use, nearly all the action takes place within the 4:3 frame - it's only by chance some elements extend beyond that into the 14:9 area, and anything on the outer edges is non-existent, it leads to this strange disproportionate feeling on the NSE titles of the era, and the later SET titles. I discount the unused 'London Live' titles as they were designed with a different colour palette and making full use of the frame (and I'm glad they didn't get used), but the colours all seemed rather 'off'.
Next question is were the floating/spinning maps on the regional titles physical elements that were shot on film and composited on, or entirely CGI renders?
