The first half of a compilation featuring many of the idents from Central Independent Television, the former ITV company for the East and West Midlands. This includes the 'Central Presents' slide leading into the legendary ATV ident, used for repeats of schools programmes before Central replaced that ident with their own.

Special thanks to Peter Raven and Jason Robertson for the source footage.

  • MisterTrimble, I believe you forgot one - the frontcap used on Centra's revival of New Faces ;)

  • What you see in this two-part megamix is all I have in the way of idents, Aidan. There was more footage on the DVD that I took them from, but they were the 'GOOD MORNING', 'NEXT' and 'TOMORROW' type animations from the CGI "cake" era.

  • @MisterTrimble I'm so sorry if I upset you in any way. Your reply makes you sound as if you were slightly wound up by my comment.

  • @AidanLunn No, you didn't wind me up in any way, Aidan. As I said, excluding the 'Next', 'Tomorrow' and so on CGI animations used during the cake era, this is all I have. In other words, if the 'New Faces' frontcap had been on the DVD, I would've included it in the montage.

see all

  • top stuff - thought i'd seen all central idents but there are a few here i haven't!

  • Oh the things one eager designer could do with some ident footage and a Quantel.

  • You know what really fucks me off? These megamixes keep on getting deleted and accounts banned for posting them. Who's actually trying to protect the copyright here? And if they think they're worth protecting why not put them out on DVD or something?

  • The 'moon' ident always makes me anticipate Spitting Image or Auf Wiedersehen Pet coming up!

  • tracklisting please ;-)

  • 33 years young and boy do I remember my roots! This truly is excellent for television lovers back in the day who paid attention to individual channels and idents - there's more to this 'trailer' than meets the eye - this has the potential to unearth a whole heap of memories - part of my childhood! :-) Cheers all

  • A fantastic package. But OMG, could you please put a VOLUME WARNING in the summary so I can remember to hit 'mute' whilst it's buffering?!

  • Central - The Masters Of TV Identification! Thanks for sharing!

  • EXCELLENT -A REMINDER OF WHY CENTRAL WAS SO GOOD BEFORE CARLTON GOT ITS HAND ON IT AND LITERALLY RIPPED THE HEART OUT OF ITV - CENTRAL WASNT MY REGION BUT IT WAS BY FAR THE BEST REGION FOR USE OF ONSCREEN GRAPHICS AND ITS LOGO WAS SO VERSITILE

  • Great to see these all again, i live in Nottingham so we had central sadly missed ....

    No local news programmes ect.(except the BBC) Central gave us local programmes ect and ITV took it all way.FOR WHAT?.
