Whether they realise it or not, most UK television viewers of the last four decades will be familiar with the work of Martin Lambie-Nairn.
From the famous Channel 4 “blocks” logo, to paint-splattered idents for BBC Two, Lambie-Nairn’s mark on the television branding and ident landscape is unmistakable. His was a career that saw him establish two design studios, hold roles at ITN and the BBC, and later receive honorary doctorates from the University of Lincoln and University of Northampton.
Tributes have flooded in for the late designer, showing how he was easy to get along with, future-focused and generous with his time, as well as being someone who was full of ideas, which he could see through from concept to execution.

Martin Lambie-Nairn, who has died aged 75, was one of Britain’s leading television graphic designers, creating memorable logos for the BBC and Channel 4, as well as coming up with the original idea for the Spitting Image series.
Credited with the concept of “an adult Muppet Show”, Lambie-Nairn recalled having a brainwave in the middle of a winter’s night in 1981: a satirical show featuring grotesque caricatures of public figures, politicians, royalty and celebrities, like the Plasticine models made by Peter Fluck and Roger Law he had seen in Sunday newspaper colour supplements but with animated puppets.
Media and Data Minister John Whittingdale has defended Piers Morgan’s aggressive political interview technique during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Ministers boycotted Morgan’s ITV programme Good Morning Britain for 200 days until mid-November after he was outspoken in his on-air criticism of the Government’s handling of the crisis.
Some 3,200 people complained to Ofcom about two April interviews with Care Minister Helen Whately while a further 600 complained after Morgan grilled Health Secretary Matt Hancock. The regulator decided not to investigate.
Whittingdale said: “I don’t object to an aggressive interview style, I think if you’re in public life you have to accept that.
