ITV Christmas ident discussion

Changing the subject for a moment, have there been any sightings of ITV1 Christmas trails yet?

There's been no Christmas presentation (that I've seen), and no Christmas press release (again that I've seen). But they do seem to be having a few Christmas shows, especially different for Christmas Day.

Looking at the Christmas listings, part of me thinks that it would have been better to switch the Christmas Feud drama (or whatever it's called) to Christmas Eve and switch with Midsummer Murders, as don't Mid Murders bring in higher than average ratings?

Anyone catch the cross channel promo just before IACGMOOG last night showing what was on ITV1-4? Animating black sparkles background with the ITV1 ident musical drone. Looked quite nice, for a basic slide.

No Christmas idents again on ITV 1 this year?

I do hope that there is at least something. I don't know why they stopped doing Christmas in the first place.

I would like to see a return to the Christmas character, but I doubt that that will happen any time soon. Does anyone know when they added the fairy to the trailers for last year, saying that, has anyone seen a trailer for any programmes over Christmas yet?

I was wondering if the Jan 2006 idents hadn't been dropped if they had anything lined up for Christmas to do with the feelings idents.

In a Sky1/2/3 and old UKTV way, if they can't afford a lot of Christmas pres, they should create a couple Christmas idents where the ident is the same, but the colouring (and logo) changes for each channel.

That'll never happen....

Oh dear, I guess it's the sparkly breakbumper again.. (if we're lucky!)

Do I not detect a hint of sarcasm in buster's post, dbl?

Whoops....

Well I'll be watching before Corrie omnibus tomorrow morning....

Thanks for the hint *sets cap card to record tomorrow*

I put this on the BBC One Christmas ident thread by mistake.

According to someone on Digital Spy, ITV just might have a Christmas ident this year and it will play for the first time before the Coronation Street omnibus this morning at 10.40am.
