Tributes have been paid to the man who created Yorkshire Television’s iconic chevron logo after his funeral in Leeds.
Originally it was going to be a Yorkshire rose but then Rex Ripley was inspired by his simple ‘Y’ idea to enter the competition to design the logo for the launch of Yorkshire television in 1963. Rex won which led to his Yorkshire Television ‘Chevron’ becoming an iconic emblem. He earned 370 pounds and 10 shillings for designing the logo. Speaking to The Yorkshire Post in 2018, he said he used the money to buy a new car. Rex, from Garforth, sadly died in February aged 93.
Christine, who last interviewed Rex Ripley on Calendar’s 50th anniversary programme, said: “Rex loved his connection to the channel and it was wonderful to meet him and his family. “I was saddened to hear of his death and wanted to pay my respects to the talented graphic designer by attending his funeral.” When Rex walked down the streets of Garforth where he lived, everyone would shout out: “Mr Yorkshire Television.
