have you got the daytime ident in blue?

[dragonarchive]

i do, but it's not very long and not especially good quality, so i didn't include it

@thepod96 Yeah, I know alot of people weren't fond of the circles, but I thought they were fantastic. I can't really say a great deal as to why I did, but they just had something very clear and bold, yet avant garde, that I thought really suited the way Channel 4 was at that point.

Equally, I think these lines idents also said alot about where Channel 4 were at that time. That is, just drifting by without doing anything too daring or really knowing why they were even heading that way.

@97channel Really? They were boring. They featured people washing cars or getting on the bus. At least these were witty. In fact, I prefer these to the current set.

[97channel]

Wasn't a fan of these. I don't dislike them, but they're just too pedestrian. I much preferred the short lived circles.
