Due to the news, YTV Presentation has featured quite a few unusual idents.
They looked all a bit like this...

This started off the horrific events on Tuesday afternoon

Various aspect problems

This was shown at 10.55 on Friday morning, I would have though these idents would have been removed from the system

(Without the website address though)

Obviously at times like this, presentation doesn't matter

Is that generic one the one that we saw after the junction out of Crossroads? If so, I thought it was totally black ie no heart background.

You are right James,I've done a mockup of what it really looked like from memory,and Aaron J Tibbet has helpfully put it on his webspace.

CARLTON seems only to be using the slow, somber sunset/eclipse ident.

Later on this afternoon, I'll see if I can find it on the video that I was recording on that day, and upload a Real file.

forgive me if anybody else has already added it (as i didnt quite understand previous messages) - but i happened to be in position to see the news reports start on central, ch4 and ch5.

central (not sure if other regions took the same continuity?) showed as described earlier, an odd itv1 ident on black - (see below) - seem some aspect problems - prob. a rushed job

as the report happened during crossroads and the part of the audio of the intro i heard - leads me to think she might be a central announcer - though i could be wrong?

(btw if anyone wants this ident(or any other materiial from that afternoon) for websites id be more than happy to a better quality/bigger version - andyeighteen@hotmail.com)

central have been using the rarely seen 'sunrise' ident - which i learn is called 'soleum' and reserved for national disaster - although i dont consider it particularily sombre - could be worse though. - itv1 generic menus (with network announcer) have been frequently seen too.

in addition the late night central news bulletin on friday was unusually long - with two presenters ?? (though this might be part of the changes being implemented by the new editor?)

International disaster, surely? I don't think the UK has become the 51st state just yet.

Lets hope we dont become the 51st state. I dont want to be part of the EU. Being part of america is worse.

I believe it was a Carlton London Announcer.
One of those loud voices that chimes up whenever they think local annoucers can't to it themselves (Such as at the end of various programmes etc)
