Arrow Video (2.88MB 21sec)


Additionally, 47" if you count the whole thing; you get Jon Snow talking about the channel in the first half of this.

Is it me, or is the recreation in a lower quality (colour resolution wise) than the original?


No it has been rendered to make the blocks more realistic and to also 'age' it.


Realistic? Aged?? I can't see it... It just harks 8bit rather than 128bit...

4oD has added a wide (and huge!) selection of free material to celebrate 25 yrs of C4.

No special idents however..., missed opportunity to roll out some original anno's with the period of the programe on the videos instead of the current "Motel" ident... Sad... that said a missed advertising opportunity as well... that Clinique ad is out of date now!

Does anyone know if S4C has anything planned closer to November?

Well I think S4C chose rather to celebrate their 20th anniversary, back in 2002.

Nice little recreation they've done there in widescreen!

I actually thought the version for these promos looked better than the original.

Obviously technology has improved in the 25 years since then. Alot more shadowing on the blocks and even a slight bevel edge too.

Not seen it on screen yet, but if it looked too polished it might lose it's effect.

Ideally on 2nd November i'd like to see the 2nd November 1982 line-up being broadcasted on Channel 4 (except for the news), can't see it though.

Contrast and compare...

The original on the left - from an old VHS source - with more intense, brighter colours. The light reflection on the gold block, the hints of light on the bevels. Overall, when you see the full animation, it has more life than the rather flat and dull new version.

Have a look at the Lambie Nairn site (Our Work > Archive > 4 > Play Movie) to see the full glory of the first Channel 4 ident.
