Yes, that's the best thing about Channel 5's current on air look
I really hope the promos 'stitch' themselves together - so the end of one promo (with a white background pattern) starts the next promo with the same pattern so it's seamless. Now that would look amazing....

Please stop posting all these very bad mocks
The National Promos Unit was around years before ITV became ITV1, they started around the start of the 1998 ITV logo and the launch of the hearts look (which was around a long time before the hearts idents), so saying 'on ITV' was commonplace for years.
As nice as the trailer is, it's made me realise how little I hear an announcer say "ITV". By the time the CAs stopped naming the region, ITV1 was already in place. So hearing "...on ITV" just sounds alien to me.

I have to agree - they were the most "ITV" of the bunch and sold the channel as an entertaining one. I'm quite a fan of the current idents and think they work well enough for the channel and the set with few exceptions is suitable for most genres of shows, but with the whole ITV rebrand I think we were expecting a much bolder statement than a logo on some footage sent in by viewers. For some channels a logo over a video is all that is required, and I think idents in the style of "pugwash" would probably work quite well for the more sedate pace of ITV3, but they're just not confident enough IMO for ITV itself.
As for the promos - OK, I know the currents ones are just the logo on a black endboard but these seem a bit safe to me and aren't too different to what 4Music and More4 do. I do think to on both the idents and the promo end boards the logo is that little too big - I think were it slightly smaller it would probably stand out a little bit more.
Out of all the packages ITV1 has had since 2002, it's still the case in my eyes that the Celeb idents were the best suited to the look of the channel, at least you knew what they were getting at, without any marketing guff.

No no, that's not your age, that's because they were very good idents! I loved that set. Even some of the less favourite ones were better than so many of today's, in my opinion. The marketing sh!te was as bad as todays though "Carlton = the STAR at the HEART of the ITV network", then the basterds bought the network.
If I may indulge for one post:
Fast forward to 3m 25s. I couldn't find better quality... and take care at 5:22. I wasn't expecting it, and threw up a little in my mouth.
Second faves for ITV companies must also be LWT's Tiles idents.
Those were the days.

It's true. I get nostalgic about the Carlton idents from 1999-2002...
