I don't receive ITV2, but it's good to see that the branding brings things into line with the logo used on promos, even though I have seen several promos for the channel recently on ITV1 with the new ITV2 promo ' DOG' used in the top-right hand corner, but some of the promos had the old ITV2 endboard at the end, before details of the cable providers which carry the channel appeared.

No RV File yet- I didnt do a capture. The ident (well, the oen i saw)looks like you are going down a rollercoaster made up of those words, then writing appears- its the ITVs logo with the 2 at the start and the word scream |2|SCREAM| then the ITV2 logo forms and you get that image.

What's the animation like on these, if any?

Must have a look at these tonight, if I can tear myself away from Channel TV's continuity.....

The new ITV2 idents are all computer animations based on various different themes with lots of words in the background

So far I've seen :

Rollercoaster - on a rollercoaster like the screenshot above, with words around the side, reveals the word SCREAM and turns into the ITV2 logo.

Computer Game - on a fast moving track, screen resembles a computer game. The logo is pixalated, reveals the word PLAY and turns into the ITV2 logo.

Divebomb - like on a diving board, you splash into the, water, the 2 is revealed, the word RELAX appears and turns into the ITV2 logo.

Firework - firework sounds, loads of words exploding on the screen like 'bang', 'wow', 'aaaah' the 2 spins like a Catherine Wheel and reveals the word thrill before turning ino the ITV2 logo.

Various different versions of the break bumper too. The animation is quite slick, but not sure about all these words.

Hmmm, sounds quite good actually. Hopefully ITV can get their act together and produce similarly slick ITV1 idents with regional identity AND swooshy animation....

Plus the addition of the itv.com at the bottom does provide good homogenisation between ITV1 and ITV2...

Funny how ITV1 and ITV2 have come together the same day that BBC1 and BBC2 have drifted apart.

[Personally I don't receive ITV2, but seeing that the new logo has been used on promos shown on ITV1 following that channels rebranding in August, at last it brings the channels' idents into line with the logo used on promos, even though I have seen a couple of promos for ITV2 programmes on ITV1 with the old ITV2 endboard at the end, before details appear of the cable providers which carry the channel.
