Nice subtle 'Christmas' promo endboard, proving just how flexible the blocks are:

Subtle is right. Falling blocks ain't Christmassy. You're right about the potential for flexibility, but we're not seeing it's full potential on the strength of this endboard. Though when it comes to Christmas, I never expect much from Channel 4's pres package. They haven't bothered for years so why would they start now?

But the falling white blocks pretending to be snow is a nice effect. Perhaps if the background was red or black it would look Christmassier than navy.

Forget about the end boards, are there Christmas idents? Will Santa be wearing traditional North Pole tribal clothing and dancing in his workshop, surrounded by (what look like) elves but turn out to be the C4 blocks dressed in elves clothing. Will the reindeer have heads entirely made up of the C4 Racing logo but with a red block for the nose of Rudolph?

They could just use the scene from National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation where Chevy Chase kicks his decorations in his front garden because his lights don't work.

It'd make as much sense as any of the other idents they use...

Quite like that though do think the duller backgrounds don't do the endboards any justice.

They also have one with white, black and an orange blocks making a very abstract snowman.

The snowman blocks were used as the ident into the supersavers Christmas programme last night

I think the Christmas blocks are really effective. Subtle, and yet it doesn't feel half-arsed.

Snowman blocks ident just used before Secret Life of Children at Christmas. So you could say, Channel 4 do have a Christmas ident, but used before something themed.

Header looks nice, logo looks awful - isn't there a reason red and green should never be seen?

Red and green can work together, it's just they've used particularly horrid shades of both that don't complement each other at all. They should have a darker red/maroon background.

This is a quick paint job in photoshop so the quality is bad but this is what I would have sort of done. Maybe darker red.

I thought it was "blue and green should never be seen"?

Red and green do go together, they are traditional Christmas colours!
