I'm sure you could do better
What a stupid response. Of course I couldn't do better, but then I don't have a team of trained computer designers/programmers etc, I don't have some of the best design programs in the country.
ITV have proved they can do good stuff with a lot of the Christmas promos like the movies one and the entertainment promo. So why do they then go and that poor Winter promo?
One point I want to make about the Winter promo, does anyone else think it's a very poor effort compared to some previous seasonal promos?
The text animation looks cheap, there are no nice screens with text on apart from the cheap looking one that says "Winter Drama" with a load of white circles on it, then it uses the regular black end board. As far as I can remember, all ITV1 seasonal promos before have had special end boards. Its like ITV creative team just gave up when this promo was made. Unless they have two creative departments, and the people who made this Winter promo are the same people who made that cheap ITV1 Christmas Movies promo with the guy holding up the white boards with new text dubbed on top

With the Winter drama promo, for the end board, they could have at least done something like they have just done with the Dancing on Ice promo I've just seen. The ITV1 logo turns into ice and turns blue, and where the floating lights are, instead we see snowflakes. It looks pretty good actually.

Well ITV clearly let them use it. I thought they were going to make the ident itself funny though, like the announcer saying something like "Oh and now we return to those two guys, yet again. Haven't we had enough of them yet?"

I don't know? Could've been a last minute decision to make a winter promo at all. Maybe they forgot and left it too late. Perhaps a very creative member of staff was off ill when they were coming up with the ideas / creating the promo. Personally, as promos go I think this one is ok.
Sorry for my 'stupid response' but you were moaning about this weeks ago. I mean it's hardly the end of the world? It's not an ident or a long-term branding strategy, it's just a little promo. Get over it.

Oh well sorry if I want to see some quality promos on ITV. They want to give the impression they are quality dramas, so why not give the dramas a quality promo.
If design of promos was not important, then they could just have a 10 second clip of the program, with a white end board with the name of the program and the time its on stuck in the centre like something done on Microsoft Word.
For me personally, I like the presentation side of TV as much as the programming (hence my website), and ITV is more important than any other broadcaster, so I'm going to say when I personally don't think something is very good.
