It seems that out of all the Celebrity idents from 2002, the ones featuring Keira Knightley are my favorite of the bunch.

I think the ones with Trevor McDonald are my favorites also.

They were all hideous and poorly implemented, with an even more horrendous beveled logo. The end.

I wonder who did these idents according to the press release from more than a decade ago:

"The channel's new on-screen look was the initiative of Jim Hytner, ITV's Marketing and Commercial Director, and created by Bruce Dunlop and Associates (BD&A) and ITV's in-house Network Promotions Unit (NPU).

BD&A were responsible for redesigning the on-air environment while the Network Promotions Unit created a series of new channel idents featuring ITV1 talent.

The new channel idents enable all ITV regions to adopt a unified ITV1 brand whilst still allowing for on-air regional distinction around local news and regional programmes.

BD&A have modernised the ITV1 logo and created a new portfolio of on-screen graphics including a break bumper, break flash, promotional packaging and a new end-credit promotion format. These incorporate a new branding device of four coloured blocks that resolve into the modernised version of the ITV1 logo."

Do you have a crush on Keira Knightley per chance? Laughing

*ahem*
Back on topic. I didn't have a favourite because I thought those idents were dreadful. Right at home in that pres era, but still awful.

I had a crush on her when she appeared on the miniseries "Doctor Zhivago". I still have a crush on her these days.

ITV1's 2002 idents were just a poor copy of Channel 7 in Australia.

I thought so. Presumably that's why you decided to use this ident for a mock of yours? Laughing

Yes. That's why.

BTW, when they first aired, what happened to regional names and regional logos?

Found on TVARK. I suggest you try looking there before asking something like this again. Rolling Eyes

I looked into TV-ARK and found out that when Celebrity idents first aired, regional logos were moved exclusively to endboards. Is that true?
