The music sounds like a John Lewis Christmas Ad rendition of the Channel 4 music.

They are an improvement over the current set. At least you can clearly see the blocks from the 4 in that man.

I wonder if the surrounding pres will be drastically altered? I expect them to keep the custom typeface, but I guess there'll be changes to endboards and menus.

I somehow doubt the surrounding pres will be altered, since the current endboards, bumpers etc. have been updated recently, and they'd work fine with these newer idents

II’ve a feeling that it will grow on viewers much more compared to the current Channel 4 idents, which did have a slight pretentious feeling about them.

Thumbs up


I don't know about that. The boat one gives "Oneness" a run for it's money!

I'll be surprised if the surrounding pres changes at all. It doesn't really need to.

Actually the Boat one looks really good.. nothing remotably comparable with the "Oneness"

It's the Daily Mail baiting one, they won't be as keen

For those without access to Core 4...

As much as I like how Fourscore is being used, personally I think they're a little too softly softly. Also can't help but compare them to the current E4 idents and I don't know if that's good or bad.


That first one's interesting, Mam Tor and the view over Castleton, somewhere I've been many times!

At least the actual logo is interacting on the ident, rather than a film being played and an overlay being used at the end , like itv idents. It is rather clever.

I do like this set, they definitely feel warmer than the current idents. (Although I love the score for the 'Lake' ident) Glad they've brought back Fourscore, though I agree there needs to be more versions than the guitar music. But the blocks have been given a bit more of personality.

I'm like a couple of other posters. It would be good if the blocks could actually finish up by forming the 4. Whether they could also go as far as have the blocks multi coloured is something I'm unsure about. But yeah, make it form up into the 4 at the end. How that would work with the kids sitting upon it in Cardigan Road, Liverpool, is of course another matter!
