Looking at the ITV Current Idents page of The Ident Gallery, here are all the new ITV idents that have appeared so far.

Rescue Boat
Ballet Girls
Hot Air Balloon
Surfboarding Lesson
Bus Bunny
Candy Floss
Night Cyclists
Lounge Dancing
Mums on the Run
Lift
Fireplace
Pugwash
Seesaw
Swimmers
Welder
Ice Scraper (scraping ice off car windows)
Fish 'n Chips
Firebreather
Boxer
Road Sweeper
Line Marker
Lips

The last three weeks I've been trying to record them on my HDD/DVD recorder. I've now got most of the above, some more than once, but some hardly ever seem to get shown. Pugwash seems to come up oftener than the others.

I managed to get Ballet Girls, Candy Floss, Hot Air Balloon, Lounge Dancing, Pugwash, Rescue Boat, Seesaw, Swimmers, Welder on their first day of being shown 14 Jan 2013, but it's taken me longer to get others. As expected I managed to get Ice Scraper before Dancing On Ice: The Skate Off the evening of 27 Jan 2013. Has it been shown since then? For comparison, last night 3 Feb 2013 they had Candy Floss before DOI main show and Ballet Girls before DOI Skate Off.

I've still not been able to get the following:
Bus Bunny
Mums on the Run
Boxer
Road Sweeper

I did see Bus Bunny for the first time ever yesterday afternoon at the start of Harry Potter, but annoyingly didn't have my machine recording at the time. They don't seem to show that very often. As for Mums on the Run, Boxer and Road Sweeper, they don't seem to show those. Put it this way, they haven't shown them when I happen to have been recording idents. Do they tend to get shown before certain programme types? For instance, does Boxer only get shown before boxing / wrestling? Thinking that might be the case I looked to see if there'd be any boxing / wrestling on ITV over the weekend hoping they'd show the Boxer ident before it, but there was none on.

Night Walkers, Seamstresses and Get your hands in the air are on the ITV Channel Current Idents page of The Ident Gallery, but not the main ITV page. Are they peculiar to the Channel region (Channel Islands), or used nationally?

One other new ITV ident not on The Ident Gallery current idents list is Marching Band (trumpet players) - I got it before Grimefighters at quarter past midnight 28 January 2013. Evidently The Ident Gallery ITV Current Idents can't be a complete list of every new ITV ident that's appeared so far.

And you tell us all this why. If you want to capture them for personal use fine but no need to tell the world about it, especially when you're not uploading them online yourself and others are making the effort.

Even itv went out of their way to upload them on youtube! But I understand capturing them yourself is something people like to do.

More on how the itv logo could have looked from Matt Rudd:

Those look like something you'd find in the gallery.

Will this become the ITV Discussion thread shortly?

I don't really get why they were even considering resurrecting the heart - it didn't exactly work for them the first time.

It's clearly just someone trying out ideas.

Obviously someone was inspired by a deck of cards, as evidenced by the diamond above it.

Personally I think the 14th picture down looks better than the current logo, hopefully it does get used!

I agree, it's a lot more modern looking and the way the colours bend is better

I was just pointing out that so far I've still not been able to get a few of the new ITV idents listed on The Ident Gallery ITV Current Idents page for my own personal collection.

Funnily enough, at 9:30pm last night, Seamstresses ident appeared at the start of Coronation Street on ITV+1. Evidently then that is used all over the ITV network, not just Channel as The Ident Gallery might have you think. I just hope it gets shown again some time over this forthcoming weekend.
