I'm new here, and this is my first post. Cheers

Anyway, I would like to know what everyone's favourite TV ident is. Mine is the 1996 Sky Scootish tombstone one. The tombstone corporate look was class, with the STV thistle adding to its elegant simplicity. Close second = Sky Travel launch ident 1994, and to complete my top 5
3rd: BSB's The Power Station 1990
4th: Anglia "A" Flag 1980's-1990's
Joint 5th: ITV Corporate ident 1989 and the Central cake

Probably Meridian 1993 for me.

BBC Two's turqoise 2s, and Carlton/HTV hearts are pretty high-ranking for me, too.

My fave ident was an HTV one from around 1998. It had a turquoisey background with some golden circley type shapes floating towards the screen with some "daytime" esque music. The HTV logo then formed over the top and was slightly (unintentionally) off centre if I remember. I can't find a clip of it anywhere, but it was often shown before Home and Away.
