UK Gold
On 7 October 2008, [[UKTV Gold]] was rebranded to '''G.O.L.D''' (a backronym standing for '''G'''o '''O'''n '''L'''augh '''D'''aily) as part of UKTV's decision to drop the network prefix from its channel names; it took on the name '''Gold''' in 2010. Gold, as well as the rest of UKTV, are wholly owned by [[BBC Studios]] since 2019, after Scripps Networks Interactive (who bought Flextech's stake in 2011) exited the venture.

'''Visuals:''' On a white background, there is the G.O.L.D logo ("GOLD" stylized as a smiley face), then the camera moves as black lines stretch out and certain objects grow and appear. The majority of these objects have the text either "Laugh daily" or "Go on laugh daily" on them. When the camera zooms back is lots of these objects and there are a few birds that fly past from the right to the left.
Nicknames: "Goldie"


'''Variants:'''
Logo: Basically the UK Gold logo at the time, which is awhite/bluerectangle with "UK GOLD" inblue/whitewith the rectangle formed by a triangle connection. The logo has several variants with an golden retriever interacting with the logo in a way.
* Starting in 2012, there is the same G.O.L.D. logo without the dots appearing as a button. Throughout the logo, the text "Stick something funny on" appears with the objects. A toy fist punches the button to reveal the same black line, then the objects appearing thoughout the ident. There is mechanical circles when the black line approaches them and an octopus is shown below the circle. Then the black line hits a ball to tumble down books and it turns up the circles, with the line turning into a carrot when it appoaches a manster with a record scratcher. The black line reappears and turns into microphones and clouds appear with falling walking teeth, with the black line approaching one of them with an umbrella and a paper aeroplane can be seen. Then one of the walking teeth jumps up from a seat rejector and the black line turns into a match. There is a dynamite at the end of the logo that the camera zooms into. Then it explodes and the G.O.L.D logo is seen with all the objects attached to black strings.
* The Christmas 2010 variant featured christmas related items, and lights around the G.O.L.D logo as well.


'''Technique:''' 2D animation by Red Bee Media.
Logo: Here are all of the known variants:
Launch: On a white background, a golden retriever (named Goldie by locals) can be seen in the middle of the screen, wagging its tail. He then becomes excited and then looks up in the sky as an sound of an airplane plays. This causes Goldie to run off screen and and then come back in later, dragging the UK Gold logo in. He then sits up and fades out, with the logo moving to the center of the screen.
Flowers: Goldie can be seen running over a purple line representing an hill as an flower pops up in the bottom right corner and disappears. Another one appears in the other corner as Goldie runs back over the line and run towards the screen. The background then turns a blue hue as the logo zooms in. Goldie then runs up to it and opens the white section like a door, revealing light, and goes inside. The logo then shuts and zooms out, with the "O" lighting up and multiple flowers appearing in front of it.
