http://itv.com/itv2
and i'm split as far as the idents and other on-air presentation is concerned, although i find the endboards very bland.

It looks like those spaces people used to have on MSN when they got rid of profiles.
As I've already said I like the new logo but it would look a lot better having the DOG flat like ITV4

I like that one. It's certainly different and quite amusing, although I imagine that would wear off after a few dozen viewings.
I agree, and think ITV2 should stick with the same format of a 2D DOG as ITV4 use. They also have much better idents since they've been using the 3D logo.

Quite like the new idents (although there needs to be more) and the whiteness of it all, makes it look quite fresh.
Not keen on the slanted logo when put next to the ITV1 logo for instance, looks daft.
I don't really get the website though, what's it trying to be with all these widgets and social networking aspects to it ? Just tell me what's on the channel, isn't that all that's needed ?

Indeed. It might be possible to justify some of the gratuitous embrace of Web 2.0 that several broadcasters have tried (Channel 4 News's Twitter feed is often a bit pointless, but has a strange endearing quality that 'fits') but this is just poor. The ITV2 last.fm profile standing out as particularly inconsequential. Whose music tastes am I not caring about, exactly?

I agree but for better or worse ITV2 really knows it's audience. That's why they're succeeding where E4 and BBC3 are failing.

I haven't seen it on-screen yet, but going by the Broadcast video, it's a bit unfortunate they're using a talent campaign, because it really only emphasises how everything they commission is sh*t.

And the third of today's new idents.
This one just goes to prove that nobody in creative ever bothers to check what the final result will be on viewers' screens. After being compressed to a pancake on transmission over Freeview, the result is crud. Goodness knows what it must look like on a 42" plasma.
