UTV Presentation Thread

Maybe it's just my eyes deceiving me, but during the late news it seems as though UTV news has a different animation style and font used on the astons?

The animation of the strap seems slower and the text seems to stretch blur across if you get me.

I also think the font is that dreaded arial!

Indeed, just posted in the Northern Ireland News Thread! A few more Christmas caps...

Two more idents:

UTV journalists stage proteset over job cuts

the ecp looks a bit grey. too dull for christmas.

As horrible as the above ident was, the strapline looks much tidier without the blue rectangle.

Another of UTV's Christmas idents, this one featuring a bird on a tree branch!

And some caps of the Christmas in-vision continuity backdrop, which uses similar graphics to the new Watch 2 Win sequences:

Back home for the holidays, and no Santa Flash links from Julian tonight, just a mention of a "Santa Track" feature on u.tv before Emmerdale.

Another year where, frustratingly, Robin Taylor is out-of-vision on the Christmas Day early shift at Havoc House. Sounds like he's in good festive spirits, though. Oh, why can't we see you in-vis anymore, Robin?

While, on the other side, A.J.A. gave the whole BBC NI team a shout-out, all names mentioned, into the Two Ronnies. I think, as the chatter of my god-daughter, celebrating her first Christmas, drowned out most of the link

That's Michael Selby on BBC1 NI today.

My mishearing; as I said, my god-daughter was chatting away during that link and I thought it sounded like Aaron.

Think it's Paul Reid now on duty at Broadcasting House.

Nope, it's Michael Higgins!
