I noticed on UK Gold at the moment the bumper has been replaced with the easter chick one, has anyone else seen this?

Yeah, I turned on today and thought they had created some Easter idents (oddly, as seen as I thought they'd have put all their efforts into the new idents) but as it turns out, they're only used as breakbumpers. Oh well, maybe I still have time to capture that final ident (that is really starting to bug me now)....

Cheers,

It's a UK Gold ident in which a line flys in past the camera, does something in the middle of the screen and 'explodes'. It was shown last Friday before Dallas but doesn't seem to have been since! I can't understand how one ident can be so underused when the other four are used all the time!

I cant think of it
Is it the one with the spiral firework goes into the centre and then explodes?
Whatever way do you think you be able to record it before the idents change?

Put it this way, it isn't any of the ones on the UKTV page! The spiral firework is ident 4. And regarding whether I will be able to record it, I'll look in my crystal ball(!).

Maybe we should all go on shifts to record UK Gold's output, thats the only way you're gonna catch it.

So have you only just spotted this ident recently?
Can you see a patern like how Neighbours is always introduced with ident 3 and never ident 1 as that seems to be always kept for the evenings

The new UK Style logo has been spotted! (This was posted on another forum)

'It's on the advert for the new 'Style File' and follows the same style as Play UK with the small, raised UK and the Style with what appears to be an orange square after it. '

Sorry about the quality.

Yes I spotted that from the UK Style File advert but didnt really take notice of the logo

So do you think every channel will have a little graphic after it?

They're coming within the next three weeks.

Official date soon.
