I'll reserve judgement until I see it in use regularly but I'm not liking the usage of the term 'studios' at all. This isn't the USA, 'Productions' or 'A --- Production' has been the way things are done in the UK for years and I can't see the point in changing, at least for domestic usage.

Well I really like it. Aesthetically it's more pleasing than the old 'Productions' endcap. Nice, simple, classy.

Make the blob disappear and it would actually look OK in my opinion.

But is the name change really necessary at all?

Looks a lot better than the ITV Productions endcap, you sort of realised how tacky it looked. The new logo is sort of on par with Granada.

I'm not too keen on the ITV Studios name but as long as we're rid of that god awful ITV Productions end cap it can only be a good thing. I really like the design.

Its a step in the right direction for ITV graphics. All they need to do now is to construct another graphics package that looks just as good as that end slide. Small things make a big difference.

I'm sure there's some irony that they change to use 'ITV Studios' at a time when ITV are looking to sell off / close down some of their studios.

Is it me or does that resemble the baby from 2001?

Well the blob looks ridiculous. What is it meant to symbolise exactly?? As far as I can tell, it doesn't mean anything - it's just a random blob Rolling Eyes

I do like the 'ITV Studios' name though, very nineties.

It's probably not meant to be anything, anymore than the first TSW ident was - although it didn't stop people claiming to have worked it out.

There was abit more of the animation shown after Corrie last night; but it doesn't dispell the conclusion that perhaps someone was just having a laugh, or using a 'controlled substance' when they designed it:
