'''Logo:''' On a {{color|darkblue|dark blue}} background, what appears to be a total eclipse of the sun is seen, "shining" along with edges of it. The "shine" disappears after a second and then the disc turns sideways, revealing it to be a {{color|deepskyblue|light blue}} planet-like object. As the shadow gets halfway round, the globe opens up like an egg and a bright array of coloured lights burst out. A couple of seconds later, the two halves come back together, the lights go back inside, and the word "'''CENTRAL'''" in a white Erbar Neo Mini font appears below the globe, which now has a crescent-shaped shadow.

The "shining" retracts after a second followed by the shadow beginning to move off the "sun", revealing it to actually be a light blue planet-like object. As the shadow gets halfway off the planet, it opens up like an egg and a bright array of coloured light bursts out. A couple of seconds later, the light retracts back into the planet and the two halves come back together to reveal the planet, which now has a crescent shaped shadow. Finally, the word "CENTRAL" fades in below the planet, set in Erbar Neo Mini.


'''Trivia:''' This logo was designed by Minale Tattersfield, famous for designing Thames' logo.
