*There are a number of regional text variants: | |||
** In Wales,the words "Cymru Wales" are stacked next to "BBC" | |||
** One variant has the words "SOUTH" added below the normal text. The available recording of this variant has it visibly off-center, though this might have been due to a misalignment of the NODD camera | |||
** Another variant has "SOUTH WEST" below the standard text | |||
** BBC Midlands would sow the word "MIDLANDS" below the standard text. | |||
* on at least one occasion, the text is the same yellow as the globe. This may have been an error with the electronic coloring process used for the NODD system | |||
