I've seen the press DVD of 8 of them and I have to say I like Mirror the best - I imagine that it will be used into Top Gear Smile

What's the animation and soundtrack like on Mirror?

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!!


Yeah you said it, the BBC1 balloon suffered from that as well. I agree with what people say about Cappuccino, how can that be seen as a window on the world.

Zoetrope looks quite good; I can see that leading into Heroes, Mirror for Top Gear, Chase for a movie or drama. I think news and natural history programmes could use Seascape. But we'll just have to ait and see.

The problem with these and recent BBC1 idents is that they are so expensive to make, they don't get added to that often. After 5 years we only had around 14 dancer idents but the balloon probably had near a hundred.

Have any of the media types on here seen the DVD of all the idents?

Oh yeah stupid me, for some reason I only took in the bit after the hyphen. Apologies.

I love this sort of stuff.

Roly Keating, controller of BBC Two has commented on his favourite idents - www.merrymedia.co.uk. Looks as if the BBC have supported them.

I love spam.

EDIT: Don't edit the last bit. The bit which makes it sound even more like spam.

It keeps appearing and then disappearing under the username advertisement. Why does it do that and is always selling something.

That's the TV Forum ads, only viewable when not loged in, hence it disappearing and reappearing.
