My cousin was the art editor for C&VG during the mid 80s.
He updated the look from the older metallic logo to the one above.
Got to hang out there for a day, it was cool, they had a PC Engine and I got a stack of games for my ST out it.
On the back of the successful face lift he landed the job of updating the BBC Wildlife Magazine, which was cool for him, but I was less impressed.
Sadly, despite being a quite clean living sort of chap, he died from cancer just a couple of years later in his thirties
