My goodness, special Apollo symbols seems to be a regular thing on BBC1 network presentation. I should have checked Dave Baldwin's YouTube channel before writing my article. Here's a look at the Apollo 14 symbol in the Noddy room. youtu.be/agKiATDgdBs?...

A quick blog post about recreating the BBC1's 1972 Apollo 17 symbol. www.kecskebak.hu?p=610

A short blogpost about making the 1972 BBC1 Olympic Symbol thing. #inkscape #blender www.kecskebak.hu?p=588

Thanks to @aswiseman.bsky.social for letting me know about the existence of this. A special Olympic Symbol from the BBC in 1972. I'm just knocked this up quickly as an experiment... youtu.be/kpYq1zqVsmE

A boring blog post to look at, and there's a font you can download if you feel like it. www.kecskebak.hu?p=552 Many thanks to @aswiseman.bsky.social for the inspiration and the source material. #inkscape #fontforge

@aswiseman.bsky.social sent me a scan of Alan Jeapes' Prospero typeface, so I've been playing about putting it into FontForge, via Inkscape. Still some work to do, but hope to be releasing this soon for anyone to play with. The typeface was used with 1985's COW BBC1 globe.

I used to love Fry's Five Centres, so maybe one day I should give this a go! www.instagram.com/reel/DYT1rxA...

My office wall clock broke, so I went a bit Bowden-Smith with the replacement...

There's a little problem with the font rendering on Firefox on Linux, but I'd have loved this as a child.

My old TSW t-shirt lasted six months and 70 washes, which is pretty good. They do make me feel a little less homesick.

Hungary has just got rid of Thatcher only to replace her with Tony Blair. I'm sure it'll all go splendidly.

Everyone here already knows about this, obviously, but for the stragglers just getting back from a month in Ulaanbaatar, please go to Mark McMillan's brilliant Project Pendulum NOW. Yes, put down that fork, leave the table and just *glory* in it. Thank you. www.mcmweb.co.uk/project_pend...

Listening to Paul McCartney's new single today. It sounds both musically and lyrically like it could be a @tawalker.bsky.social track, which is very high praise indeed. The UK's Eurovision entry is bloody good too.

Got a lovely video recommendation this morning - some absolute genius remaking Compton Organ tonewheels. youtu.be/NsIT_XVcRv4?...

When you have a rubbish day at work, you can pretend you're in Torquay in late 1981...

I will never, ever get used to the fact that sometimes you can write a blog post about something you adore, and then the person who created it pops up in the comments. Like this morning, when I noticed Ian McKim left a comment on my blog post about the 4 Square Maze music. www.kecskebak.hu?p=483

I haven't had a TSW T-shirt in years, but today I suddenly felt a pressing need to sport three enormous green brassieres so I sent off the order to the t-shirt company. #TelevisionSimplyWonderful

I'm on holiday. I'm playing with @godotengine.org and listening to this gem. Imagine Dark Side of the Moon, but with Syd there and Roger locked in the cupboard under the stairs... tawalker.bandcamp.com/album/book-o...
