ITV - I'm still not used to calling it just ITV, but the idents are actually growing on me. I think what I overlooked when we first saw live action was the simplicity of these, but they unlike others before seem to be well thought out, and the variations of the tune enhance this for me. They're not visually stunning, but I think the wide variation helps ITV due to their wide range of programming.

They're overwhelmingly 'ok'... but the logo disappearing half-way through is just an odd design choice for any ident; its party trick should be the primary focus and attention grabber - bug-eyed Pug is certainly mass aww-inducing but 'ITV' is shunted into the background and unlikely to be strongly associated with such a disposable, achingly-YouTube clip.


I think the idents will eventually close with a white background in the same way the promos do.

Some of the new announcers on ITV are not good particularly the guy on tonight - there seems to be a new style which doesn't fit and is better suited to ITV2.

They appear to be being more 'conversational'.

New look Tonight. Don't think the visuals match the theme as well as the old ones.

ITV2? I'm not too sure...his style is like he's narrating a book/voice actor. Whereas ITV2 is 'ya best mate' type of announcers.

I agree, compared to the old bland style.

For those who haven't heard the new Geordie announcer:



Also the Pugwash ident seems to be quite popular with viewers...

I find the way they all call it an "advert" mildly amusing.

This ident has done its job.

Shame the others aren't as memorable. (Although I must admit I quite like the rescue boat one, looks great).

One person called it an 'i-dent'.

My autocorrect feature often changes 'idents' to 'idents'.

And they say viewers don't care about TV Pres?

A selection of tweets here for those of us who use Neon
















Basically, most people don't like the logo, and most people love that pug ident.
