So much for ITV1 getting rid of their celebrity idents. Before Paul O'Grady at 5pm they used a Thierry Henry one (footballer). The ITV1 logo was in separate boxes though.

This probably should be in the relaunch thread but I wanted to get it accross.

Yeah, I did mention that in the relaunch thread. I guess that, even though they've only been using the new idents for one day, they've already realised that they're too slow and quiet for use before many programmes.

The same thing happened to the 1995 Carlton idents ten years ago - they only lasted one year before they were ditched because they were too "sedated".

Oh come on!

Just a week or so before the 'refresh' a new Ryan Giggs ident was introduced (with old style itv1 logo) and now today, due to the footy tonight, there is another football ident this time featuring Thierry Henry - with a NEW itv1 logo. Therefore it must have been planned to be used for this seasons footy - regardless of 'which set of idents are being used.....'

I personally think the new ITV1 graphics are quite boring and need extra add-on idents just like these football ones. Surely Ryan and Thierry aren't ITV celebs but merely football players?

I have no problem with seeing additional idents on ITV1.

Yes exactly this isn't a celebrity ident at all. It's a special. There will no doubt continue to be special idents for I'm a Celebrity, The Brits etc every now and then regardless of what the main presentation looks like

I agree with both your points, though what I said about the new idents not being versatile enough still stands...

I mean, just imagine:

*doo doo doo, laa laa laa* (pretty blue sky with white fluffy clouds)

" And now on ITV1, The X Factor. "

* BOOOOOOOOM * * BADABADABADABADABAADAA... * (fiery exploding red X)
