I thought this was just for Yorkshire Television at first cos the first thing i ever saw with this was YTV but i think this is amazing with how it was part of so many idents.
Awful. You'd be forgiven for getting the impression there's no real talent working in TV graphics.
These idents are like a warning that the quality of what follows is very likely going to be the same tired old rubbish you've been watching for years...
most of them were downright awful and bore little relation to the individual company idents - the only ones which really work IMO are Thames and Grampian - you can understand why the likes of TVS and Ulster refused to use theirs point blank
This generic look works for some of the regions, and it just looks weird for others. It works for regions like Anglia and LWT because their logo patterns fit well in the V. But for regions like Thames, Tyne Tees, Yorkshire it just dosen't feel right.
Was there any point to that TVS one? You can barely see anything! If they'd still been using the coloured feather(?) in 1989, that would have worked better, surely?
i dont think that itv angila has a 1989 ident..

The Granada one was a cock-up, the logo was not recreated correctly and Granada went back very quickly to its own idents.

The TVS logo was based on the logo of TVS Entertainment, the holding company of Television South, which is why it doesn't resemble.

Yorkshire Television was excellent. They should have just kept it.

I liked these (and still do).
It managed to convey a perfect harmony between the generic ITV identity and the regional identities.

The Granada one is probably the worst.

@sslaxx I dunno... I'd put the TVS one as the worst as there is no resemblance to their logo at all, that's probably why they didn't adopt it.

ITV should still be regionalised, now Ofcom give them a blank cheque to STOP our local news (or to cut down on it)
Bring back Regional Identities ITV!

This is true. Could somebody make me a Christmas ident with the blue V turned upside down please.

Has anybody got the ITV Christmas ident, when the V turned into a Christmas tree?

Central played around with their version quite a bit, using their own music on it and also combining it with their existing cake idents.
