Channel 4 Idents

[kbertan]

Is the one in 2:18 a tribute to the Animal Nitrate video? I mean I know the setting is quite British, but the weather, the colors, the camera movent is all so similar.

[whotaughtyou]

ADRIAN PSYCHIATRIST V COURT CHAMBERS LAURA FRASER

[conorsmitheire]

lol idiot at the start says "it" crowd. it's the I.T crowd idiot

[TheMightyDeej]

This took me ages to find, I've been typing things like 'little chanel 4 adverts that come on before a program start' into google for the past half an hour =/ thank you =D

[Pmccaff2009]

I miss these coming on before Big Brother :(

[Punkrock3011]

why dosent it say the simpsons cos it was on channel 4 back then even before

[graveey]

the tokyo one is the best with the neon lights, but its not on this vid

[normanwarrior1]

IPOCRITES.

[mr20thcenturysam]

Crazy

[210482fmj]

its scary to see how time wasting things like tv intro logos and idents just waste youre time away. tv is such an isolating experience at the best

[Imaan158]

Is it still on now

[Imaan158]

Is it still on?

[peterwhitehart]

My favourite ident at 0:37.

[lukenukemable]

disgusting load of leftie wankers undermining society with their filth

[meatisdeliciouse]

We apologise for this break in our programmes. We will get them back as soon as we can.

[yescatuk]

Does anyone know the music that is used in one set in a container dock yard setting?

[AoldmanX]

I always see 1:10.

[LemonMerigueTie]

i have dreams that look like a lot of these

[Imaan158]

I want the old ones

[Balraj50]

@Imaan158 I agree the old ones are the best it way better than the new ones! Channel 4 also closedown rather than rathing it 24 hours a day.

[memuver]

Chanel 4 sucks cock for blocking shit they don't even show anymore. COCKSUCKERS!!!!

[JohnDXCenaHas2Words]

I wish someone made a Channel 4 Ident using Minecraft. That would be cool.

[NikDev5000]

If only idents in the US were a FRACTION as creative as these!

I was also surprised to hear that My Name Is Earl airs in the UK, but it is a satire of small-town American culture as much as anything else (something that probably goes over the heads of most Americans who watch it).

[Muhanedabukhumra]

greaat

[petey8887]

I love this clip. (On a side note: People watch 'My Name is Earl' in the UK? I can't believe that anyone even watches it here)

[Idude893]

They call it the "It" Crowd there? 

[sgtelzilcho]

@Idude893

no just most people who voice these things are idiots

[TheAppleMan100]

:( why the hell is America tv so shitty now its getting worse. i want to live in the UK so badly now.

[Graddee]

I miss the alien one!

[mAyBurGiDyAnTY]

i need list of music eny one please

[TeamBlackDragons01]

Here are all the idents I can remember.

[TeamBlackDragons01]

I will upload a video that has Channel 4 Ident's I will load it up asap.

[subsNmus]

they all remind me of waiting for lost on thursday nights :')

[NoFaceChannel]

Awesome idents but some looks scary...

[orpingtondood]

what is the music in the background of these

[cofpaddy]

Thanks for this upload, love their Idents

[zebrockway]

They're actually quite clever.

[SadBananaCo]

What is the music for the taxi ident? I can't find a name anywhere...

[MattMathers100]

does anyone know where the channel 4 docks indent was filmed?

[SegaMegadriveMic]

I hate those ones! Bring back the old idents!

[pmccaff2007]

Wooo!

I heard Marcus Bentley from Big Brother

[mza131313]

the best one is at 2:20

[dunemoonbeam]

y are they set in the us

[kayellen1]

love it!:)

[ohmydinosare]

how were these done? was it all digitally altered, or were any of these structures actually built?

[keepmeupdated]

I doubt Four actually had the money to build these... however these are the best idents around.

[realshiznit]

can somebody ID the music at 1:40 please?

[SickOfObamaAlready]

Anyone any opinions on the number 4, generally?

[PurushaDesa]

"Anyone any opinions on the number 4, generally?"

Eh yeah. Never understood why people think the 4 on a digital display resembles an 'F'. It doesn't.

[firefighterno1]

The pylon one really freaks me out

[Lukester15]

It looks so weird seeing them on YouTube, as I'm used to seeing them on TV lol

I noticed that this video was added in late 2006, which is like 3 years away nearly, and Channel 4 still use these indents, as well as some new ones too.

[temmuz]

anyone know what the music is for the construction site/dubai skyline channel 4 ident

[PopNRockGirl14]

the one on the bowling green

[Emmalena]

You missed one the construction site one.

[telehmnx]

I think there's been some new ones since these actually, which is why the construction one (and some others) are missing)

[calathemari]

cleeeeveeeer!!!!

[EuniceWoo]

Martin Lambie-Nairn team designed that.

[sdateumd]

2:05 is my fav

[simo600]

haha r8 good rnt they, channel 4 used to be wank, class now

[syckodave]

the best 4 werent there

[agentfinch]

Nobody has mentioned a thing about the last clips extremely poor driver!!

[hachibeach151]

This would a great annual contest: "Make Your Own Channel 4 Ident." Create a 30-second Channel 4 Identification. First place gets 40,000 pounds, second place 4,000, third place 400, with all three being broadcast.

Brilliant.

hb151

[timbaland567]

yeah you should email or call channel 4 and they should do it!

[hachibeach151]

All righty, then.

hb151

[MaryStewart]

cool! i guess i i were to move to the uk, i can see this!  wonder if chn4 is available in the US lik bbc is as 'bbc america'?

[xJennax93x]

Ha.. These are great lol..

c4 is the best channel atm.. The only channel with something good on

[horrorstudios001]

Channel 4 is my fav channel on tv.

[KayumiNanahara043]

I wouldn't blame a television network/show for racism, I would blame the people for being racist in the first place.

[alik08]

well its channel 4's responsibilty because they are the ones who started this show. yeah it would of helped if they werent racist but what do you expect when you throw a bunch of people from different cultures and religions into one house.

[KayumiNanahara043]

I think that's kinda the point Channel 4 is trying to make, basically, Big Brother is like a social experiment to see how people would react to other people from different cultures and lifestyles and to see how they react to being put out of their comfort zones. Yes, Channel 4 made the show, but it's the individual persons that CHOOSE to be racist and DEMONSTRATE their level of intellect.

[shortinos]

Does anyone know who was made theses?

I would really like to know.

[cylon6]

The Moving Picture Company.

[fuddyboi]

the block of flats is the best one

[JamieStevens2008]

i see all of them on a daily basis awesome

[watthahellyadoinzz]

Channel 4 is probably one of best out of the 5 channels for programmes and idents.

[h1lleard]

lol.. 999channels

[badfex]

Yeah or BBC2

[Hiro252]

who did the tune for when theres the electric tower things....? thats a good song..

[notbubu]

All of the music was specially composed for the idents.

It was actually very late when they decided to add music, originally there'd just be sound effects and background noise, but once they'd finished producing the original set they decided to add music to them.

[Iceferno]

Why do they keep calling it The It Crowd? That does annoy me lol. After all, what does Roy say?

"Have you tried turning it off? You know, I'm sick of saying that." :P

[miajo89]

i lyk the 1 wen ther fytin in the car! lol!

[gobildigoop]

i seen a short verson of the taxi 1

[jedislave]

Why is American TV so much more worse. I want to move to the UK now.

[DanielLeech]

You'll be suprised, Its not just the UK

[Hairboy01]

ooh, ooh! i made one of these, i forgot to post it, thanks for reminding me! and at the start, its the I T crowd, not the it crowd, stupid c4 guy

[M00NBELLY]

haha never get old do they XD

I love channel 4

[prelan]

They truely are timeless, hehe

[DrHoldowicz]

I agree, amazing work.

[CUConTheTube]

OMG these are so cool!

[watts18269]

I want the background track of the second last one with the electricity masts.  Anyone know of anywhere to get these?

[TheMarmiteChild88]

the new york esque one is my favourite. Or they hay one.

The one on the estate reminds me of hollyoaks!

I hate the bowls one!

[MrFearOi]

the dock ident is so nice. reminds me of when i wake up in the morning.

I really really want to find out if it's possible to get mp3s of these without the voice-overs.

[rich238]

This would be my dream job - I love C4 idents and these new batch are just amazing!

[MobbDeep1234]

is their a name for the 3rd ident song? On the bowling green.

[PopNRockGirl14]

i love that one my fave :)

[bigbadbi11]

you missed the one with the pigeon crushing

[dazerone]

yeah where its like a pneumatic piston robot thing.

who directed these ? message me please.

[mvfF1Fanatic]

These are so cool. And funny how they all remind me of Lost. Goddamn, why did Sky steal Lost from Channel 4! I have to buy series 3 on DVD!

[RJWooller]

These new c4 adverts are clever and are something never done before. As the camera moves, the 4 logo becomes clear and I don't think that has been tried before.

[nott4ever]

what the soundtrack at 1:57

[notbubu]

The soundtrack was specially composed for Channel 4 by sound designers at Blue Post Production. The idents were originally only going to have natural sound effects, so the music was put together quite late on.

[matt9741399]

These things must have cost a fortune to make!

[QThesimpsonsmovie]

Too many 4s

[prelan]

shutup yankface

[AdeoF]

can you shut up about sex !

[beaumarislizard]

channel four is the best channel in uk by far all those wonderful documentaries

[2hoforsho2]

yeah does ANYONE know the music track on the ident with the pylons? I LOVE IT! :(

[dantoshou]

SAME i really want to know :|

[FutureSimpsons]

These Channel 4 idents are really cool.

[nurbsenvi]

Coool!! but I'm afraid normal viewers won't get it...

[L1ZZ1771]

i really really like these.

[Ringo142]

BBC & Channel 4 Idents are cool. They're both animated and like just not commentational :S. Made that word up.

[LM110]

Great idents since BBC2 in the 90s!! Channel 4's are cool with quirkiness and innovation!! reminds of optical illusions don't you think?

[Kristoffle]

anyone know wat the music track is on the electicity pylons ident?

[Holden4Banky]

gotta love channel 4 - all the best comedy and american imports

[oogie11]

good idents, unlike those on the bbc, what a waste of money, them idents of hippos and kites etc are awful

[Jamsis1234]

channel 4 is alright....

but l prefer BBC1 and 2 indents, they r beta! :D

[jackboothenator]

Yeah i perfer the clockwork 2 from the old bbc 2

[KanadianKyuubi]

Neat idea and brilliant execution, good to see that some of the new ident sets we've been seeing have been hidden tributes to their pasts (like BBC1 and the circle, 2 and the Big 2, and now 4 with the logo being made of stuff)

[hrhmissy]

hehe, that housing estate is The Aylesbury estate in S.E.London and thats my bedroom window!(Missenden House). Don't no if I should laugh or cry!

[andyee2]

People live there 0_0 I thought it was on the verge of getting knocked down lol (no offence)

[34airflow]

Very imaginative!

[jimmsy2000]

Nice... the last thre are ace! i like the fact C4 came back to the original colourful 4 coming together in pieces like in the 80's.

[qwerty123uiop]

Good old channel 4....cant wait for celebrity big brother coming in January!!!

[albion3000]

anyone out there remember a strange "face" ident from channel four, from around 1995-1996? rather spooky it was. anyone have it?

[davba2]

Wasn't that an advert where the face smoked a Hamlet cigar.

[HGtibby]

come back the original multicolour idents and music ... nostalgia and a channel with an alternative remit ... the dawn of a liberal age ... channel 4 i salute you!! Gay Liberation PA.

[jboi2002]

These r the best idents on TV at the moment.. I hope they dont get rid of them

[XXCuttingEdgeXX]

i luv these vids

[totally2nedin]

Channel 4 has an overactive imagination!

[live42006]

luv C4

[mattydabatty]

I love the London one.

[hybrid91]

wow nice video, i love channel 4's thing like this.

always original.

[h1lleard]
