Coronation Street main title card

Unlike Home and Away, which has never severed its relationship with the Reporter face, Corrie’s title cards have gone through a handful of faces over its still-solid run. As evidenced by a combo of the text shadow and clear non-grainy appearance of the title sequence, this card dates at least (meaning at its earliest) to the mid-1970s.

“At least.” Meaning, at its absolute earliest. 1997 qualifies as being later than the mid-1970s.
If you’ve got any other title cards, we’d love to see them. Hint: this is what happened on the Home and Away page, and I didn’t have to ask for a thing.
