1:54 Grampian showed a monochrome version of that one at the end of a Laurel and Hardy film (I forget it’s title and whether it was standard for other b/w films).
Grampian actually began broadcasting in colour in September 1971, to coincide with their 10th anniversary. Colour broadcasting was an expensive undertaking for the ITV franchises, and the smaller companies, such as Grampian, took longer to transition compared to the larger companies, which had done so along with the move to UHF in 1969.
Not only that, but the second one, showing the logo zooming in as the word GRAMPIAN forms, is a little bit ATV-esque as well. Obviously referring to the original Zoom ident.
