boboafc Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 (edited) the man was a genius making art out of nothing , and i too grew up with vision on ,a yv programme which was for all kids and the first tv programme for deaf children as his assistant used sign language ..rest in peace tony Hart also created the original design for the Blue Peter badge. He originally asked for his fee to be paid as a royalty of 1d (one pre-decimalisation penny) for each badge made, but was offered a flat fee of £100[6] (equivalent to around £1,600 at 2006 rates). The badges are famous throughout the UK and have been coveted by three successive generations of Blue Peter viewers.

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Very sad. Such an influence on anyone into art, animation and graphic design since the 1970's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
