Hello again, TV Forum.

I've been thinking about this for the past few days and was afraid to show it here in fear of it getting panned, but I'm ready now.

This is from an alternate world ITV where instead of having several regions, there would be one to serve the whole of England. (HTV, UTV and STV aren't affected as they are in different countries) Instead of waking up to Thames or Anglia, viewers would see this - English National Television.

Is this from a particular era? I ask because it looks old fashioned., that looks like the sort of thing you'd see on TV in the 1970s.
Alfie Mulcahy and TVVT gave kudos

Yeah it's supposed to be from the 1970s

Good evening and welcome to ENT, Ear Nose and Throat Television. At 7 o'clock we join the studios of the NHS for a laryngoscopy of a 73 year old woman with suspected vocal cord nodules, but first its time for another visit to Congestion Street.

Joking aside, it does look very smart for a 70s broadcaster.

I was thinking going for red and white for this. Maybe the Anglia knight and the accompanying music would go well for any ENT branding. ETV or TVE may sound better than ENT, not saying it is bad.

Maybe we can have an Isle of Man mock too or even Cornwall

Like I've said many times before, don't post something on a web forum if you don't want honest feedback about it. If you're after feedback that you want to hear (as in this is the best thing since sliced bread), you're in the wrong place. Otherwise you should expect it to potentially (key word) get panned and deal with that accordingly, since it will give you ideas on how to improve it. One of the worst things you can do is post something in a blaze of glory, and then stick your head in the sand when somebody suggests its the wrong shade of red (or whatever the issue may be)...

It's not that, I'm worried that people would find the idea of a single region ridiculous

Here's a rough draft of the ident. It's obviously not perfect as the writing is a bit choppy and the music is rather primitive

Why should it be ridiculous? You've already said "alternate universe", so anything goes.
If you'd tried to pass it off as a reality in this universe, then we're going to have a problem.
