Hope this hasn't been mentioned somewhere else - but it seems five have just used a new style menu into "Built for the Kill". It was basically a normal ident (in this case the neon light reflection one), with now and next information overlaid on the right. It was very similar to Channel 4's old menus. Looked better than the other menu against the pastel-coloured backgrounds.

I noticed this last week, it's good that they're not using the pastel's as much, I would still like to see something else, but they do their job.

They seem to gradually be building up the current set of idents. They have introduced a plane where the five logo appears within flares of light on the camera.
It's not as good as the others that have been introduced (flies on pond, shark bate, ants with leaves, neon light and the movie ones), but it's and adding another way of making the logo come across.

Yeah , i first saw it used a few weeks before christmas, they only ever seem to use the neon light one for them though. There was also one used over christmas (see here) and once on a movie ident
