You don't need to wait until February 18th for the wall chart. And look at the bottom, it's another scene from 'Chase.' I think these idents could possibly surprise us at how good they look onscreen.

Anyone else think this could be a second ident on the 'theme' of chase?


No, just a different part of the same ident. They aren't static slides you know. Wink

I also think TV companies should launch with at least 10 new idents when they make a change over.


No matter how many new idents they launch with, the same 2 or so will be used time again and again! Just like ITV1, with the kid bringing the toast up stairs!

I hate it when TV companies make loads of new idents but only use the same 2 or 3!!

Oh and in case you haven't noticed, Media Guardian have two of the idents on their site right now.

Wow, they look pretty nice. The music's essentially nothingness, and I don't think the logo works with this set, but the visuals look really good.

Nice! I was hoping a bit more for the music side of them, but as idents they're a lot nicer than the current ones.

Very nice indeed, can't wait to see the rest now.

EDIT - MP3 versions available here for a limited period.

The Zoetrope one is particularly impressive, and the other one ain't bad either. Very nicely executed.

However, that teal boxed logo does really let them down. The spacing on the TWO letters just looks a bit like they've left the tracking on 'default'. Something a little more creative for the logo would have been nice.

They look to be very promising so far, music is a slight let down though. I'm looking forward to seeing the others.

Here is an variation image of the car mirror ident:

A press release has also been added to the Red Bee website.

The 'Tent' one is quite good but the music lets it down, still far better than what we have now though.

The Zoetrope ident is fantastic! The music is brilliant, the visuals are superb, all in all this set looks very promising indeed.

Well, of those two, the only thing really stopping Zoetrope being a 91-01 ident is the colour scheme - make the outside of the magic lantern turquoise rather than black and you're not far off.

Tent, I'm not sure about. We'll see how it goes in actual play.

I quite like both idents on the Media Guardian site, especially Zoetrope. That music would be very good for a lead-in to films and one-off dramas, as well as (I think) some documentaries.

I'm really looking forward to seeing the rest.
