Foreword:

The specifications which were shown in the Manual had all been used before.

Staff involved with anything that would be seen such as print, signs and vehicle liveries would already be aware of the design rules which should be followed.

So this publication showed how all the various applications came together to give visual evidence of unity and control.

The message that the Executive took these matters seriously was encompassed by the existence of the manual.

Other organisations who worked with and for the Executive could be given a copy or the appropriate section so they would know what would matter to them.

Architects, local authorities, advertising and design agencies should be helped and not hindered by
the contents.

British Rail who had launched their new image with a comprehensive set of manuals now respected that Greater Manchester Transport had the same ideals as theirs.

It was always intended that the manual would continually evolve with new pages and sections due to changes in fashion, policies and production processes.

Sadly, its life was short due to deregulation and although an attempt was made to keep a design policy intact in the early days of GMbuses, this was constantly challenged by the new marketing management and the deterioration of the corporate identity became inevitable.

I hope you enjoy browsing through the pages and discovering how transport looked in those days and the way it was managed.

Travel back in time with this era-defining book.

Start with the exuberance of graffiti, breakdancing and boom boxes on the subway, the beeps and bloops of new electronic game consoles, and Jane Fonda’s pastel leotards and legwarmers. Skip forward from the first space shuttle to the first episode of The Simpsons, from Jean-Michel Basquiat to Gordon Gekko, from shoulder pads to smiley faces. Witness the establishment of an assertive new gay culture and club scene, the unrivalled global gathering of the Live Aid concerts, and the equally strident fight against apartheid. Listen to the reverberation of cultural decibels rising across the globe and shaking society’s foundations, from Madrid’s La Movida to the Soviet Union’s Perestroika and the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Victory Medal Replica
The Allied Victory Medal was issued by all the countries that contributed to the victory of the First World War in a similar or equivalent design. The British version says 'The Great War for Civilisation 1914-1919’
To qualify, an individual serving in the armed forces of the United Kingdom or the British Empire had to have entered a theatre of war between 5 August 1914 and 11 November 1918. While France or the United States issued around 2 million each, around 5.7 million British Victory Medals were issued.

One of the last projects undertaken by the Network label was the 60th Anniversary Blu-ray set for Stingray which was released in two versions - the Deluxe and Super Deluxe. Each version was packed with extras but the Super Deluxe had a music item as part of the set – a seven-inch single of ‘Themes From Stingray’ containing cues for the original soundtrack as performed by Barry Gray. But the seven-inch single was not included in the set, but to be posted separately to customers who had pre-ordered the Super Deluxe set. When the single was manufactured, it was housed in a card envelope with a sticker placed on it with the title, catalogue number and barcode so that all that needed adding was the address label before posting. Although the Super Deluxe set sold out, there was some stock of the seven-inch single, still housed in its card envelope left in the warehouse. Network are no longer trading, and these singles have now been rescued from potential destruction!
