This logo from the eighties is interesting, but the clue is even more so. Can anyone ID this? Here's the two versions. Thanks in advance.

The second one definitely has the feel of Peter Howell (Radiophonic Workshop) about it! Take a look at this site which may give you the answers you're after ==> h***s://www.avid.wiki/BBC_Video/Production_Logos

The second one is indeed Peter Howell, the first one I've seen attributed to Syd Dale, though I can't remember where so I can't confirm.

There is a longer stereo version of the first one somewhere, and I've never been able to find out where it came from!

My small claim to fame. Peter and I used to play in his back garden when we were kids.
