Kiss 100 2005
Sticker for London station Kiss 100. A clever way of turning the letters KISS into a logo of its own.  Was it deliberate to use it in a city that has a station called Heart?

Wiltshire Radio 1982A sticker given away during the first few months of Wiltshire Radio.

Three years later Wiltshire Radio merged with Radio West (in Bristol) and relaunched as GWR.  You might recognise the inverted commas and staves which were later adopted on this GWR sticker.

GWR Radio Bath 1988Is it GWR Radio or GWRadio?  If it's GWR Radio does that mean it's Great Western Radio Radio? 

Anyway, here we see a link between the 1987 sticker and the 1990 one.  The inverted commas remain on staves but with the new logo behind them.

gwr_bristol_1996.gifGWR FM Bristol the station with a 'Better Music Mix' - any regular commercial radio listener will more than likely have heard that slogan at some point on one of the former GWR Group owned stations.  Some hate it, some love it.  What say you?

GWR 1990A nice colourful sticker for GWR FM.  Interesting that they dropped the inverted commas from the logo (see this sticker from 1988).  Perhaps signalling the reduction in chatter.

Also quite interesting to note that GWR didn't think it was necessary back then to promote their specific frequency.

gwr_1987.gifEarly sticker for GWR.  A speech and music station - that's why the inverted commas are on staves.

GWR launched in 1985 after the merger of Radio West and Wiltshire Radio.

lbc_2005.gifSimple window sticker from London talk station LBC 97.3.  The logo gives the impression that it's been ripped out of a tabloid newspaper - which might explain where some of the topics discussed come from.  Still my favourite station though!

BBC Radio JerseyA bit clichéd but very effective use of an outline of the island.  The grey background in this sticker is in reality transparent.

BBC Radio Jersey launched in 1982 and this is an early sticker from the station.

2CRNice brightly coloured sticker for 2CR (Two Counties Radio).  The ILR for Bournemouth and Poole.

Note that 2CR was on 97.2 until (I think) the early 90s, when it was moved to 102.3.

LBC News Radio

A non-window sticker this time.  Business card in size, this is the type of sticker that could be stuck on a lunchbox, lamp-post or lemon.

From a marketing perspective I don't really see the value of 'Join me' - it seems a bit weak.  Why should they?

A rather odd sticker this one... not sticky in any way! If you want to put one of these in your window you'll have to lick two envelope-glue strips at each end of this paper 'sticker'.
