At the recent SEEK LOCATE CELEBRATE Blake's 7 convention, Alan Stevens had the good fortune to speak to costume designer June Hudson.
ALAN: What was your thinking behind the silver motif applied to the Travis uniform you made for Brian Croucher?
JUNE: Well, he was taking over the part from Stephen Greif, and, as I recall, the former Travis had an embossed version of the Federation emblem on the front of his uniform.
ALAN: That's right, but Brian's insignia consisted of two transposed silver triangles...

JUNE: I do recall the design. Two overlapping triangles, signalling opposite directions.
ALAN: So one was pointing back to the Steven Greif...?
JUNE: Yes. My underlying intention was to subtly recognise that Travis had been played by two actors. So one was a pointer to the past, and the other was an arrow to the future.
ALAN: That is very clever!
JUNE: Thank you!
