Background

Channel 5 is a privately-owned TV channel from the UK, being considered the fifth analogical channel created in the country. Through its years, it had different owners; in 2002, it was partially rebranded as "Five" once the RTL Group bought the channel; its current company owner, Paramount Global, bought the channel in 2014.

Channel 5 (first era)

1st Bumper (March 30, 1997-September 1999)

Main Idents

Christmas Idents

Logo: The idents center around complex neon (and sometimes flashing) images with the Channel 5 logo, which is a circle containing the number "5". No specific names were given, although they can still be described.

Variants:

  • Christmas Idents:
    • Christmas 1997: TBA.
    • Christmas 1998: TBA.

FX/SFX: Likely a combination of live-action and computer animation.

Music/Sounds: Mostly varies between the idents.

2nd Bumper (September 1999-September 10, 2000)

Main Ident

Christmas Idents

Nickname: "Celebrities"

Logo: The screen moves on a white background composed by several metal pieces. A hole is seen on the left side, in which some green and yellow pieces containing the previous Channel 5 logo are displaced to shown another complete piece, while 5 colored lines (blue, orange, magenta, yellow, green) zoom out on the other side in sync with the music. Once everything is centered, the screen blurs and the Channel 5 logo seen in the green piece pops-up.

Variants:

  • There is another ident in which the metal pieces from the background are replaced by filmstrips. This version was likely used before movies.
  • Most of the idents usually centered around different scenarios with the same logo appearing on a hole (on different materials, such as paper). Various celebrities from the channel are shown doing different things in it, before the logo pops-up.
  • Christmas Idents:

Variants:

  • Besides the aforementioned main colors, other idents feature different designs of the background.
  • Like the previous graphic package, some idents featured different celebrities of the channel doing something, before the Channel 5 itself shows up.
