Original series
In the original series, graphic design was almost never credited, because graphic design was not usually seen as a separate task from that of the "Designer" — a position today that hovers somewhere between a set designer and a production designer. However, at least one individual was so-credited. Sid Sutton was actually credited as "Graphic Designer" on The Leisure Hive, mostly for his work in redesigning the Doctor Who logo and title sequence. Unlike BBC Wales graphic artists, however, Sutton wouldn't have been considered a "junior" designer. Rather, he would have been seen as a specially-contracted artist answering directly to the producer.
