Now is it just me, or is there a cheeky nod to the esoteric in this Meridian ITV ident?

Meridian Television for the South of England Ident 1993, not a patch on TVS

Border television - the ITV region that brought you Derek Batey and Mr. & Mrs..
I've yet to find a fully satisfactory video or photo to post for the Border ident, but I do enjoy the brief and slightly eerie clip of an applauding studio audience in the middle of this one.
Enjoy.

Both opening and closing versions of this colour Border Television logo were taken from "Look Who's Talking".

Why you Cymric beauty! You Cambrian temptress! What purpose could you have but to tantalise the senses and rouse our passions?

ULSTER TELEVISION!!!!

Another ITV ident. This time from the Northern Ireland ITV region: Ulster Television (renamed UTV in 1993). This is their first ident, from 1959, remastered ...

From retro space age bleeping, through some sort of disco-y blue movie music, to slightly pedestrian blandness - "you're watching LWT..."

What made watching ITV in the 70s, 80s and 90s bearable :)

May this bring you joy..

The ABC triangle in animated form from the start of another 1960s programme from the ITV weekend contractor for the Midlands & North.

Now to me this is where ITV idents started going all wrong. I mean, just what is that trickling fluid that becomes the Tyne Tees logo?

This TVS ident comes to you following a tip-off in a bar..

And how would we define an ident, I hear you ask. A short visual sequence comprising the formation of the company logo, accompanied by a brief burst of music?

My ideal ident would consist of some simple geometric shapes moving into proximity or combination with one another, helped along by a few resonant taps on a glockenspiel.

Oh, and look what I've found - Westward television! Dope!

Granada TV keeping it simple here. No jingle, no animation - just iconic stillness and silence.. swiftly followed by the latest episode of Coronation Street.

Regarded in some circles as the 'Dark Side of the Moon' of ITV idents, here is the offering from Central TV:

The Central Aspirin...

Hmm - quite a lot of fertilisation imagery in this one. I guess in terms of entertainment it's a straight choice between that and television in the region covered..

And another vintage offering, this time in colour. TSW's original long version ident from 1982, but recorded on the evening of Saturday 12th September 2015. ...

Like a bolt of inspiration, the memory of this came to me at 5 o'clock in this morning.

This one tiptoes up to you, then unleashes a jolly fanfare in your ear. You just know you're going to watch something good next.
