Well they've just used chase a bit different to the one on the internet.

As has been said, trailers are very Channel 4 but I do like some of the idents. I like the Coffee ident and the Sea one.

I like personality 2s, but I really like this new look. The look though, not the audio. The only audio I like is the Cappucino one.

I quite like what I've seen so far. There's so much more scope with this format.

From the 1.25 junction comes :-

BBC2 - Chase (1.54mb)

I'm of the opinion its more of a Channel-5-CSI ident myself.

Is it just me or does the animation of the endboard remind anyone else of the old Powder ident


That's what I thought. I was expecting powder to fly up at the end.

It's a shame that the endboard obscures some of the action at the end of the trailer. With the Graham Norton trailer the woman's reaction on the left to the woman talking on the right arranging flowers is priceless!

And as others have said very Channel 4 like but unlike hannel 4 there's more than one colour. I do like what I've seen so far; so nice not to have endless yellow and different styles from computer generated (Zoetrope), to live action like Chase.

has anbody else's opinion changed from indifference to more positive because they are seeing them on TV rather than choppy video?

I wonder what will happen with Wales, and the whole 2W thing, and if the nations will get custom idents like Northern Ireland did


Hmm well now quite apart from moving on from the 2W business, every promo, coming up trailer and junction I've seen has the Wales on 2 box fading into a 2W box every five seconds or so and then returning and changing again etc -- along with the anno reflecting the programme is on both stations.

There are surely only a handful of programmes that aren't? How time consuming.

I haven't seen them on-screen yet, but thanks to the kind people on here, I have seen the junctions. I look forward to when I do.

From what we've heard the website won't relaunch until 28th February.

...or words to that effect. I do feel they should change the logo until its revamped though.

As for the idents, overall they look great, much better on screen than on the computer. They are visually superior to their predecessors but the music seems to be hit and miss. IMO the best music is found in the 'Zoetrope' ident. It just fits the sequence perfectly.
