That's outrageous! Can't this stuff be obtained under the Freedom of Information Act?

I find it ludicrous that in this day and age ITV don't even have the decency to release the names of their idents.

I think we should be told.

Does anyone know the official names to the current set of ITV2 idents? Here's a brief description, and my suggested name:

1) The one with ghetto blasters and tapes in it. (Music or Disco?)

2) The beach scene which includespeople fanning, lazing back, ice lollies, umbrellas, thermometer & fire extinguisher; and has Hawaiian music playing. (Beach?)

3) The one with loads of big shoes in. (Shoes?)

4) The one with racetracks, cars and tyres in, and with rather lively music (Motor racing?)

5) The one implying wealth / richness: it includes a white car, a safe, women posing with bottles of booze, stacks of coins, a big white cat, an aeroplane, a sports car, etc. (Money, Wealth, Richness?)

6) A snow scene, everyone is wrapped up warm. (Snow, Cold, Winter?)

I've been unable to find a source stating official names to these. Can anyone else help?


Too <ident surroundings>

eg: Too Hot, Too Cold, Too Glamorous, Too Fast etc..

Britain's Got Talent will apparently start on Saturday 12th April on ITV1 and run every Saturday unlike last year where it was spread across about 10 consecutive nights.

That's what The Ident Gallery uses.

1) Too Loud
2) Too Hot
3) Too Glamorous
4) Too Fast
5) Too Fast (why call it this, when that name is used for the motor racing one?)
6) Too Cold

1,2,3,4 and 6 all seem OK to me, but I somehow think a mistake has been made with 5.

However TV Ark uses this:
1) Music
2) Beach
3) Celebrity2
4) Sport
5) Celebrity1
6) Christmas (odd, considering this is used all year, not just Christmas)

From this how can you distinguish the two Celebrity ones?

So which site is correct? Please could someone tell me what IS correct.

Further to your PM, Tumble, I've kindly asked the nice man at the Duty Office for the official names.

Hello there,

Myself and a very good friend recently (a few seconds ago) had a very lively debate about the official names of the ITV2 idents.

Here's a brief description, and my suggested name:

1) The one with ghetto blasters and tapes in it. (Music or Disco?)

2) The beach scene which includespeople fanning, lazing back, ice lollies, umbrellas, thermometer & fire extinguisher; and has Hawaiian music playing. (Beach?)

3) The one with loads of big shoes in. (Shoes?)

4) The one with racetracks, cars and tyres in, and with rather lively music (Motor racing?)

5) The one implying wealth / richness: it includes a white car, a safe, women posing with bottles of booze, stacks of coins, a big white cat, an aeroplane, a sports car, etc. (Money, Wealth, Richness?)

6) A snow scene, everyone is wrapped up warm. (Snow, Cold, Winter?)

I've been unable to find a source stating official names to these. Could you help settle this for me please?

Thank you,
Tumble Tower


EDIT: And the reply...

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for your email.

As far as I am aware the idents do not have names.

Kind Regards,

Duty Office - SG


Now be quiet.

Probably the best slot - and hopefully when it gets to the live stage we'll have both performance and results the same night.


What else is coming up in the Saturday night slot then - Duel also finishes in a couple of weeks, and I don't think Harry Hill is far behind too, so that's the whole night free really.

Not heard of anything else - WWTBAM maybe?

When is Pushing Daisies supposed to be on - could that be in a 9pm Saturday slot maybe?

So is Britains Got Talent to go up against Doctor Who this year ? Confused
Pushing Daisies also launches the same night as BGT by the looks of things.

There is All Star Mr & Mrs to come, and Vernon Kays - Beat the Star, one of which will probably go out on Sunday.

When have ITV ever had the results show a different night to the main show on any of their series?

Will Gameshow Marathon be having a series this year? I thoroughly enjoyed it during April and May last year.
