BBC Three (and I presume BBC Four) are also now airing their festive idents.

ITV1 just showed a promo for whats on next saturday. They used a serif font (not the ITV one) with a black/brown background and yellow stars and baubles around the screen, looked really good.


Would that be like the "Christmas Weekdays" promo that's airing at the minute as well?

I have always liked the theme Sky Sports use at Christmas time, with decorated trees in the studios and snowmen on their idents and graphics. It keeps the channels consistent with the rest of the year whilst adding recognition of the season as well.

If the presentation is pleasent and versatile, there is no need to change it. I don't like attitudes that everything has to be new.

That's completely against BBC guidelines!

I do like those BBC2 stings. The gremlin creature cuts through the 2 revealing the 'Christmas world'.

Just spotted some Christmas presentation items on S4/C

An animating star made up of different coloured blobs!

Simple idea but really effective!

In particular I've noticed that on 2's ident, the 2 is in the dead centre of the screen, instead of on the right as in the trailers and the usual idents. I myself don't like this - I think it makes it look horribly unbalanced, even without the box.

Not so on NI - They've ditched the box... and centered 'Northern Ireland' below the '2' on their symbol!



Looks so much better than that awful box on the network.


Not so keen on BBC2's ident - on the one hand it's good they could do anything and then just end it like that, but I was hoping for better.
