A lot more effort has gone into the Star Trek idents.

I'm interested in seeing it, when someone is able to upload a video of it.

Thank you sir! @mromega

I am not sure if I like it tbh. It relies on clips, where it could have done something much nicer with its light and particle theme, set in space with nebulas and the Enterprise. But I guess its too much effort for a pop-up channel.

I did intend to post my own capture this evening; but Mr Omega beat me to it. Confused

I actually think it's OK. I suspect the pop-up channel idents are based on an algorithm: distorting the background clips in the same way against the logo as on many new Sky channel idents.

Perhaps it's just a matter of selecting your video clips, and editing your chosen audio, to produce a nice slick product they can use across their European estate.

...set in space with nebulas ...

Nebulae. Tsk! Very Happy
(At least you didn't put nebula's) Shocked

I think its more likely there is a package of branding assets, featuring close ups of the logo at various angles, with distortion/normal maps, so they can line up footage and animate it in time with the clips. So they can use it for various pop-up channels in the future.

Also apologies for my plural snafu.

The audio would have been produced by the same person who did the music for the regular idents I'd imagine
