Let’s just hope putting television, radio and online together to work alongside won’t cause a mess, but yield better media results instead!

Your older videos no longer have any thumbnails. Too bad this blog isn’t updated as often as it used to be. There’s so much to discover, so much to show.

Simple idea, great execution. I was transfixed by how the table or ‘canvas’ was going to reinvent itself for the next title!
Music choice was good too, sure to pierce through a typical ad breaks wall of sound.

After the miniatures spot these guys seem to be going from strength to strength.

“…a gold standard for television branding.” I just don’t think that is true.

I definatly wouldn’t describe the BBC One Dance ident as gold standard, probably the worst look of BBC One in its history.

“I’m reminded of the old BBC One ‘Rhythm and Movement’ idents that still remain a gold standard for television branding.” ARGH don’t! They were awful!

Comment on The much beloved BBC One ‘Balloon’ idents. by Rachel (Rae)

Rachel (Rae) — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 15:48:00 +0000

I personally think the balloon idents were quite good, and I will admit to liking the current circle idents, but the Rhythm & Movement Dancers in between I thought were terrible. That music was so annoying, and I’ve never quite forgiven Lorraine Heggessey for killing off the globe! At least the circles (sort of) hark back to that. Although my absolute favourite BBC1 idents of all time were the ones that formed my childhood from 0 to 7 years – the COW Globe and the Virtual World. So although I enjoyed the balloon back then and although I’m enjoying the circles now, they’re nowhere near as warm, nostalgic, and magic for me personally than dear old Virtual and COW.

Comment on Seven billion and counting.. the new look SBS. by cleverclogs

cleverclogs — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 12:15:54 +0000

Nice! I was wondering when SBS would start doing 7 billion! And an aside, thank you so much for this website, I really do think idents are an artform that is so very overlooked. I’m incredibly thankful that I can see them here!

They’ll be stuck when we hit eight billion people.
Maybe by then EBS would be Electronic Broadcasting Service…

Comment on Current TV hoists a new logo up the flagpole. by Philip

Philip — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 07:08:47 +0000

infoMania was a brilliant programe. Yes, was. What you didn’t touch upon in this blog was the fact that this ‘new’ style Current TV meant that infoMania was axed.

As someone from the UK, I personally still enjoyed it (maybe that’s beacause I’ve researched a lot of American culture) so that shows how great it was.

Of course, the show hasn’t been as good since Conor Knighton left and the show went to a full studio, but it shouldn’t have been axed – not yet anyway.

Comment on The always emotive SBS relaunches. by Daniel

Daniel — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 05:07:13 +0000

I agree, I think SBS have some of the most artful idents I’ve seen anywhere.

On that note – what ever happened to the SBS “Shadowland” idents that were used sometime around the late nineties / early 2000′s. I thought they were absolutely stunning.

The director of those idents went on to make a short film in the same style “The Mysterious Explorations of Jasper Morello”, but it seems all trace (online) of the beautiful idents he did for SBS have been lost.

Does anyone out there have a copy to post?

There’s one missing in this list. The church one, with the cute little bunnies; my daughter loves that one!

Comment on Improved branding for Australian preschoolers. by Sam

Sam — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 11:50:40 +0000

Wow, ABC’s branding is getting way better. It’s not perfect, but at least it’s on target. Simple design and big fonts, easy for kids to read. I wasn’t sure at first, but that logo looks awesome in 3D.

The supers look a little ugly, but all in all the package is pretty great – it really suits the brand.

The VO in the last clip is terrible! Are they sharing the 7mate guy or something?

The “2″ logo reminds me of TVE2 logo during the 90s to 2008, especially in the color

They’re miles better than ABC1′s, though it would only take an announcer voice over and a different logo and they’d look like they’d have come from the UK…
