Lee - your signature is very intimidating - lets see if Carlton pay attention!!

Thank You, i spent ages trying to think of a signature that would stick out from all the others and I think that does the trick!

Don't get me wrong I like the Carlton idents in Wales, but I don't want them to rename HTV as Carlton, and they haven't so I'm happy.Smile

It just seems really stupid to have changed the idents in one particular region such a short time before a launch of new national idents. Don't you think?

Don't worry, my signature might be intimidating but I'm a nice guy!

Well I've been playing around and decided that something like these would look good for ITV1. All ITV regions would use the white bit at the side, and would be free to put whatever they want on the rest of it. Look, this is what I mean:

The Yorkshire regional ident (sort of).

Something which vaguely resembles the Tyne Tees regional ident (not bad seeing as I did it from memory I suppose)

A nice purple effort from Meridian there.

And a sterling effort from Border there.

So how about those? Smile

Nice one Phil except I've got bad news.

All that's going to happen on 11th August is the ITV logo is going to be changed into ITV1. That's it, no new idents, just that god awful modification. So much for hope...

Cheers, Asa

Bugger.

But how do you know that? I thought they'd got that English and something or other to make them? You winding us all up again?!?!

I like it, thats the sort of genericism (new word?) that I like.

I feared a bodge up job like that. Surely we can't be subjected to years more rotating hearts for goodness sake, they've outlived their usefulness, especially without the short films.

Is this definately confirmed, if so where and by who ?

I reckon we'll get proper new ones for the new Autumn schedule. They always do new trailers for then.

If that is the case though, why bother relaunching as ITV1 in August ? Why not just wait and launch with new idents ?
