This 30 second slideshow shows some mockups (with more to come later as I test different software to improve upon this original batch) and at the end the two types of slides I came up with. I got this idea from Two's current trails, and thought "what if the end of the trail had the curve incorperated into it somehow?" Then i found that it was too hard to edit some Curves, so I went to the 2s. This came out WAY better than my last idea, but in advance sorry for the poor quality of some of the examples, this is due to transmitter repair at your nearest transmitter.
Sorry about the bad quality of both the ident and the modifications to it, Adobe Photoshop does NOT do the job well at all. I added a touch of viridian (as it's still Two's main color on the iPlayer, but mysteriously absent from the idents) as well as a more barebones caption, which will change depending on the ident (e.g. Offbeat would have the purple... whatever change to viridian as the programme name and time follow the uhh... fluffy thing. In this case the blobs would still move about at least once, putting the title and time in their usual layout.) I might stop experimenting with the Curves if it continues to be hard to edit. If that happens I'll just go back to the 2s.

So I put screenshots of my two next ideas on Metropol to put on here, but the "upload a file using metropol's upload service" button wont go past the log in pop up. Ah well. My Metropol Username is the same as my TV Forum one, just incase i have to do something on there to get these "two" you

I've been having that same problem!

One more, while I'm awake; the last slide points out how a certain set of idents is a joke.

With regards to your contributions...
Your first video doesn't work (concept wise, you need to rethink this).
Your first Kapwing link returns a 404.
Your second video has the same issue as the first, concept doesn't work. Chopping random bits of other logos and idents does not an ident itself make.
The "scratchy" one generates a 404.
The "BBC Three on BBC Two" one... No. Just... no.

They're all meant to be rough copies, with random images and several visual mistakes. I might try a new style of doing this, and if it doesn't work, I might try another channel.
