If that is the case then the idents will surely get the chop and replaced with something else, unless there can push in the logo somewhere in them?

Suspect it might be a case of animating the blocks in the corner on-screen.

Bet 5 start bringing the 5 back into their idents soon.


There no need for that, since you can see five things in the idents, 5 skaters or 5 birds etc .

I thought blocks you were able to see in the idents might have come together to show "4" just like the 2004 lot?

Ah, for those long gone days of 2015's Channel 4! With all that 'hey look at us. We're so hip and alternative we don't need to show our logo' PR rubbish!

I wonder if they've got a 'Channel 4 has a remit to produce challenging and thought provoking programming...' line somehow spun up for their new changes already. Or if they'll just try and keep everything as quiet as possible this time round.

The 4 HD DOG has been changed too, ever so subtly. It's moved towards the centre of the picture and appears bolder than before. Here's some screenshots, both cropped to the very top left of the HD picture.

I've just flipped over to Channel 4 + 1 and the DOG there appears to have been revised too. It's lighter and further to the edge of the frame than it was before.

Yeah, much more transparent and consistent the other bugs.

I quite like the dog and the bumpers but it does feel like they're having branding worries.
That said I would really like the idents to be refreshed some how, I feel like they didn't do enough of them to start with thus making them quite stale quickly and they certainly weren't a match to the ones from 2005(?) onwards, I found those quite an iconic part of the channel.

Of course, it’s less dramatic nowadays seeing as both ITV and Channel 5 have permanent DOGs and Channel 4 HD has had one since launch.

.


I seem to recall the C4HD DOG initially only appeared on native HD programmes ?

I thought that was still the case?

I've also noticed the change now.
