# The Variants (or idents in this case)are inconsistently described. Some idents are either not described like the others (1st ITV1 ident), or have none described, likely just the lazy "Depends on the ident" phrase in its place (1st and 2nd ITV (second era) idents), in spite of some of the other sections having descriptions for them. |

===Background=== |
||
'''ITV1''' is a British free-to-air commercial television network. It was launched in September 22, 1955 as '''Independent Television''' to provide competition to the government-funded [[BBC Television|BBC]]. Since the passing of the Broadcasting Act 1990, its legal name has been '''Channel 3''' to distinguish it from the other analog TV networks at the time, [[BBC One]], [[BBC Two]], and [[Channel 4]]. Once being a federation of separate regional companies, today, ITV1 serves most of the United Kingdom under a unified brand (except for Scotland with [[Scottish Television/STV|STV]], and Northern Ireland with [[Ulster Television/UTV|UTV]] for local programming and news). |

'''Note:''' This was the first of ITV's generic logos, which varied for each ITV franchise it was shown on. It first appeared around 8 p.m. British Time on September 1, 1989. |
|||
Logo: On a dark blue striped background, we see the big yellow letters "ITV". Beneath that is "PRESENTS" in white. |
|||
'''Visuals:''' On a black background, a "river" of colours are seen. On top of the river, is the franchise's logo and below it is the franchise name in the Palatino font. The logo then wavers and disperses into the river, and in its place, various images of ITV shows fly by from the right to the left, such as the Elizabeth Tower, a white bird, a basketball player, etc. As these images fly by, the letters "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''I'''}}" and "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''T'''}}", followed by half of the letter "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''V'''}}", fade in one by one. Finally, a vertical triangle appears in place of the other half of the "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''V'''}}", containing part of the franchise's logo. The river fades out. |
|||
Variant: Sometimes the logo appears on a light blue background and the "ITV" logo is in 3D and is facing downwards. "PRESENTS" is much thinner than in the first logo. |
|||
'''Franchise Variants:''' The parts of the franchises' logos that appeared in the aforementioned triangle, depending on the franchise, were as follows: |
|||
FX/SFX: Possibly none. |
|||
*[[Anglia Television]]: Three blue and two yellow triangles from the "flag", along with part of the {{color|deepskyblue|light blue}} background. This was not used on-air, due to the Anglia flag being introduced a year prior to the generic branding and probably either because too little of the flag was used, or that the colors that were displayed in this ID are the opposite from its' actual logo. |
|||
*[[Border Television]]: Part of the "'''''{{color|deepskyblue|B}}'''''" in the Border logo against a {{color|darkblue|dark blue}} background. Used until 1993. |
|||
*[[Central Independent Television|Central]]: The rainbow colours in the "CGI cake". Used sparingly until 1990. |
|||
*[[Channel Television]]: Part of the "{{color|gold|'''C'''}}" from the "CTV stripes" against a blue background. This was not used on-air, as they opted to go for their own IDs. |
|||
*[[Grampian Television]]: Most of the Scottish saltire, with the bottom section of the triangle in a lighter shade of blue. Used until October 4, 1998, longer than any of the other variants. |
|||
*[[Granada Television|Granada]]: The upper part of the yellow "G-arrow" with a section missing, against a purple background. This was not used on-air, probably because the line connecting the arrowhead was missing. |
|||
*[[Harlech Television/HTV|Harlech Television]]: The "H" from the "aerial" against a background of two shades of blue. Used until 1992. |
|||
*[[London Weekend Television|London Weekend]]: The blue, white and red stripes, with the upper left section of the triangle in {{color|gray}}. Used until August 1992. |
|||
*[[Scottish Television/STV|Scottish Television]]: The lower right part of the "thistle" in {{color|deepskyblue|light blue}} against a {{color|darkblue|dark blue}} background. Used until December 1989, being the shortest-lived ID of any ITV franchise ever. |
|||
*[[TVS Television|TVS]]: The "{{color|steelblue|'''S'''}}" from the TVS logotype in {{color|steelblue|silvery blue}}, against a background of whitish {{color|gray}} on the left and {{color|darkblue|dark blue}} on the right. This was not used on-air. |
|||
*[[Television South West|TSW]]: The upper part of the "hills" with part of the blue stripe at the bottom. This was also not used on-air. |
|||
*[[Thames Television]]: The London landmarks against a blue background, with three wavy blue lines below representing the river Thames, and the bottom section of the triangle in {{color|darkorange|dark orange}}. Used until August 31, 1990 (see below). |
|||
*[[Tyne Tees Television]]: The left part of the "{{color|blue|'''TTTV'''}}" against a yellow background (evoking their "Flowing Rivers" ident from 1988). Used until 1991. |
|||
*[[Ulster Television/UTV|Ulster Television]]: Part of the blue border and yellow zigzag from the version of the "oscilloscope" then used, against a {{color|gainsboro|light gray}} background. This was not used on-air. |
|||
*[[Yorkshire Television]]: The left half of the yellow chevron against a {{color|darkblue|dark blue}} background. Used until 1990 (see below). |
|||
'''Other Variants:''' |
|||
Music/Sounds: Possibly none. |
|||
*On occasion, the default logo would be used, which had no franchise name displayed at the bottom and had an ordinary blue triangle with three lines cut into its left side (a la the then-current [[Viva Films|VIVA Films]] logo). |
|||
*Central used a variant which combined the company's existing "CGI Cake" animation with the ITV animation. This also did not use the David Dundas music. |
|||
*Granada did not use its ITV logo but did occasionally use a variant combining its' existing ID with the normal logo above. |
|||
* Harlech had two different text variations of the ident. Depending on part of the region it served, "''CYMRU WALES''" would be used for Wales and "''WEST''" for the west of England. |
|||
**Later on, HTV had their ITV logos re-edited to consist simply of the "aerial" on the river, with the station name quickly moving in below from the left of the screen. This re-edited version was used until December 31, 1992. |
|||
*Thames unveiled a new triangle logo on September 3, 1990 and consequently incorporated it into a second version of its ITV logo, which was used only before networked shows until October of 1991. |
|||
*Yorkshire in January of 1991 had its ITV logo re-edited, so that the full chevron appeared in place of the triangle before moving to the centre of the screen as "ITV" faded out. This was used until October of 1994. |
|||
*A long variant exists starting with the first part of the logo being long. |
|||
'''Technique:''' A mix of live-action and computer animation effects, designed by English Markell Pockett. |
|||
Availability: Extinct. |
|||
'''Audio:''' A rather airy synthesized flute theme that culminates in a 5-note trumpet fanfare, sometimes with the flute echoing at the end. Composed by David Dundas as an ITV jingle. A continuity announcement may be used, as well. The jingle was adopted from the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIB6chUUu5I full theme.] |
|||
Editor's Note: TBA. |
|||
'''Audio Variant:''' Central's ITV logo used the company's existing synthesised variant of the 1988 jingle instead of the David Dundas music, or it was mixed up with Central's own ident. |
|||
===3rd Logo (September 1, 1989-October 4, 1998)=== |

'''Legacy:''' This logo is a favourite of many UK logo enthusiasts. |

|||
* [[Border Television]]: The symbol is not shown here and the font is set in Palatino. |

|||

'''Trivia:''' Starting with these idents, these are now produced in 16:9 widescreen (it was cropped to 4:3 on home recordings). |
|||
'''Other Variants:''' |
|||
Nicknames: "ITV Generic", "Get Ready" |
|||
*For continuity announcements during nighttime shows, a default version would be used, in which only the ITV/ITV1 logo would be displayed. |
|||
Logo: On a black background, a "river" of colours are seen. On top of the river is the franchise's logo and below it is the franchise name in an italicized serif font. The logo wavers and disperses into the river, and in its place, various images of ITV programmes fly by from the right to the left, ones such as the Elizabeth Tower, a white bird,a basketball player, etc. As these images fly by, the letters "I" and "T", followed by half of the letter "V", fade in one by one. Finally, a blue vertical triangle with two lines coming from the left appears in place of the other half of the "V", containing part of the franchise's logo. The river fades out. |
|||
Franchise Variants: The parts of the franchises' logos that appeared in the aforementioned triangle, depending on the franchise, were as follows: |
|||
*Anglia Television: Three blue and two yellow triangles from the "flag", together with some of the turquoise background. This was not used on-air, probably because too little of the Anglia flag was used. |
|||

|||
*Central: The rainbow colours in the "CGI cake". Used sparingly until 1990. |

|||
*Granada: The upper part of the "G-arrow", in yellow with a section missing, against a purple background. This was not used on-air, probably because the line connecting the arrowhead was missing. |
|||
*HTV (Cymru Wales, West): The "H" from the "aerial", against a background of two shades of blue. This was not used on-air. |
|||
*LWT: The blue, white and red stripes, with the upper left secton of the triangle in grey. Used until 1992. |

|||

|||
Other Variants: |
|||
*On occasion, the default logo would be used, which had no franchise name displayed at the bottom and had an ordinary blue triangle with three lines cut into its left side (a la the VIVA Films logo). |
|||
*Central used a variant which combined the company's existing "CGI Cake" animation with the ITV animation. This did not use the David Dundas music. |
|||
*Granada did not use its ITV logo, but did occasionally use a variant combining its existing logo with the default logo above. |
|||
*HTV also had their ITV logos re-edited to consist simply of the "aerial" on the river, with the station name quickly moving in below from the left of the screen, this re-edited version lasted until December 1992. |
|||
*Thames unveiled a new triangle logo during 1990 and consequently incorporated it into a second version of its ITV logo, which was used only before networked programmes until October 1991. |
|||
*Yorkshire in September 1991 had its ITV logo re-edited, so that the chevron appeared in place of the triangle before moving to the center of the screen as "ITV" faded out. This was used until 1994. |
|||

|||

|||
Editor's Note: This logo is a favorite of many UK logo enthusiasts, although some of the regional logos don't fit the vertical triangle too well (particularly in the case of Channel Television, Scottish Television, TVS Television, and Tyne Tees). |

On October 28, 2002, most ITV franchises dropped their in-air branding, adopting a unified "'''ITV1'''" brand, though some franchises continued to use their name on-air in some form until the 2013 rebrand. On February 2, 2004, Carlton and Granada, the two biggest companies owning ITV franchises merged to form "ITV plc". |

'''Visuals:''' There is live action footage of one of the scenes below (all involving something yellow), before the ITV1 logo (which now has the ITV lettering in black) appears on the left side of the screen. |
|||
Variant: On one program the text says: |
|||
'''Variants:''' |
|||
An<br> |
|||
* Basketball: The camera pans from the back of a basketball stand onto a small basketball pitch atop a building in a city. There is yellow flowers and vines begin to creep up the basketball stand. |
|||
itv Productions<br> |
|||
*Beach: The camera pans across a beach, where a yellow windbreaker begins to twist and flies up into the sky. |
|||
G L O B E<br> |
|||
*Market: The screen pans through a busy market with lots of people walking by, as some yellow birds fly past the camera and fly around the market. |
|||
P R O D U C T I O N S<br> |
|||
*Boat: The sequence starts at a reed bed next to a river, as the camera pans up and over to reveal a man rowing a small boat through the river, with small yellow fish swirling around the paddles. |
|||
Co-production |
|||
* Pavement Art: There is some people drawing yellow lines on concrete with yellow chalk, before the camera pans over to reveal a bustling city street below, with lots of people walking around a maze of yellow art. |
|||
* Bicycle: There is someone riding down a street on a bicycle at night, as yellow moths fly around and illuminate the street. The camera then pans over to a streetlamp with lots of yellow moths swirling around it. |
|||
* Bubbles: The camera pans through a field full of people running around and blowing yellow bubbles into the area, and the camera pans into the sky to show lots of large yellow bubbles. |
|||
*Fountains: The camera pans through a dark city street, which suddenly becomes illuminated by multiple yellow streams shooting out from the road. The ITV 1 logo is glowing and reflected in the concrete on this variant. |
|||
*Buildings: The screen pans through a busy city, when the glass windows on the buildings begin to flip around and cascade, turning yellow. |
|||
*Garden: The sequence starts in a small garden with some children playing, before the camera pans down into the grass, revealing lots of yellow bugs and plants. |
|||
In 2010, the idents were revamped slightly, with the logo becoming bigger and a glossy gradient being added to the yellow blocks, which themselves became more rounded. If watching on the HD channel, the word 'hd' would appear next to the logo with a transparent glass-like texture. The existing variants were updated with the new logo, and the following new variants were added: |
|||
FX/SFX: The background zooming out, and the white rectangle stretching out. |
|||
* Sunflowers: The camera pans over a computer-generated sunny field with clouds rapidly passing by, as the yellow sunflowers below begin to blossom. |
|||
Music/Sounds: The ending theme of the TV show. |
|||
*Snakes and Ladders: There is a busy yellow construction site that looks vaguely like a snakes and ladders board, as construction workers carry out their work in a very organized and arranged manner. |
|||
*Lanterns: The screen pans through a dark field full of people holding yellow lanterns, and as they let go of them, the camera follows them and pans into the sky. |
|||
*Dodgems: There is an arena full of dodgems (or bumper cars) driving around in an organized fashion, swirling around each other. |
|||
'''Trivia:''' More so than most other logos, these were quite the complicated coproduction in terms of the number of studios involved. The idents were based on a creative concept from Red Bee Media, directed by Pleix, produced by Blink Productions, and were handled in post-production by The Mill. |
|||
Availability: Uncommon. This was used in tandem with the last Granada logo, with this logo being used on ITV-produced shows airing on their channels. One example being Season 3 of ''Blue Murder''. |
|||
'''Technique:''' Live-action. |
|||
Editor's Note: TBA. |
|||
'''Audio:''' A quiet, simple 7-note motif that is repeated throughout the duration of the ident. Some idents may have a slight variation on the instrumentation with the same motif. |

The low-tone version plasters the ITV Studios America logo all season 1 and all but one season 2 episodes of ''The Chase USA'' when it airs on Challenge. As of recent, it's starting to plaster the 1st ITV Studios logo on 2010-onwards episodes of ''The Chase'' when repeated on Challenge. |

ITV1 is a British free-to-air commercial television network. It was launched in September 22, 1955 as Independent Television to provide competition to the government-funded BBC. Since the passing of the Broadcasting Act 1990, its legal name has been Channel 3 to distinguish it from the other analog TV networks at the time, BBC One, BBC Two, and Channel 4. Once being a federation of separate regional companies, today, ITV1 serves most of the United Kingdom under a unified brand (except for Scotland with STV, and Northern Ireland with UTV for local programming and news).
Visuals: On a black background, the white text "INDEPENDENT TELEVISION" stacked on top of each other is shown.
Technique: It appears to be a printed card filmed by a cameraman.
Audio: None, but may contain music or a continuity announcer.
Availability: This logo was seen during the ITV strike of 1968, when they ran a nationwide service.
Note: This was the first of ITV's generic logos, which varied for each ITV franchise it was shown on. It first appeared around 8 p.m. British Time on September 1, 1989.
Visuals: On a black background, a "river" of colours are seen. On top of the river, is the franchise's logo and below it is the franchise name in the Palatino font. The logo then wavers and disperses into the river, and in its place, various images of ITV shows fly by from the right to the left, such as the Elizabeth Tower, a white bird, a basketball player, etc. As these images fly by, the letters "I" and "T", followed by half of the letter "V", fade in one by one. Finally, a vertical triangle appears in place of the other half of the "V", containing part of the franchise's logo. The river fades out.
Franchise Variants: The parts of the franchises' logos that appeared in the aforementioned triangle, depending on the franchise, were as follows:
Other Variants:
Technique: A mix of live-action and computer animation effects, designed by English Markell Pockett.
Audio: A rather airy synthesized flute theme that culminates in a 5-note trumpet fanfare, sometimes with the flute echoing at the end. Composed by David Dundas as an ITV jingle. A continuity announcement may be used, as well. The jingle was adopted from the full theme.
Audio Variant: Central's ITV logo used the company's existing synthesised variant of the 1988 jingle instead of the David Dundas music, or it was mixed up with Central's own ident.
Legacy: This logo is a favourite of many UK logo enthusiasts.
Visuals: A short film plays, which culminates in the appearance of a heart. The heart flashes, which transitions to a blue background with spinning heart panels segmented in three. The franchise name/logo appears with a blue border surrounding the logo, and at the bottom of the border in a blue square are the letters "itv". This logo was only used by Granada or UNM-owned stations, as Carlton opted for a different version featuring stars.
Franchise Variants: The symbols and the fonts of the name that was used varied depending on the franchise, these variants were as followed:
Trivia: Starting with these idents, these are now produced in 16:9 widescreen (it was cropped to 4:3 on home recordings).
Other Variants:
Technique: A combination of live-action and computer animation, designed by English & Pockett.
Audio: A tense orchestrated fanfare during the initial short film/logo animation culminating in a 5-note piano fanfare and a dramatic synth fanfare, the ladder plays when the logo is fully formed. The continuity announcements sometimes accompanied the synth fanfare.
Legacy: This was an unpopular logo among many, due to the consolidation of the unique visual identities of ITV into one. Though at least it tried to keep the original regional logos (with the exception of Border Television's symbol) unlike its successors.
On October 28, 2002, most ITV franchises dropped their in-air branding, adopting a unified "ITV1" brand, though some franchises continued to use their name on-air in some form until the 2013 rebrand. On February 2, 2004, Carlton and Granada, the two biggest companies owning ITV franchises merged to form "ITV plc".
Visuals: A montage of various ITV1 personalities is shown, which ends with the ITV1 logo in 3D sliding toward the bottom right in pieces before coming together. There were four different sets featured, all featuring stars that varied.
Variants: Each ident featured a certain celebrity behind one of four different sets.
There were also some other idents used:
In the 2003 package, they were replaced with a new set of idents, with some new additions.
As with the previous set, there were also some other idents used:
Christmas Variant: For Christmas 2002, Granada and Carlton stuck to the regular idents, but added shooting stars to the ITV1 logo.
Later Variant: In September 2003, the ident package was changed to one where the ITV1 logo revolves and forms itself on a background of spinning blue panels. Also, in this variant, the logo zooms in a bit.
Technique: All live action, with the panels and zooming of the logo. These were designed by BDA Creative. The Creature Comforts idents were animated by Aardman Animations.
Audio: Depends on the ident, but it's usually a variation of the same jingle. This is sometimes accompanied by a continuity announcement.
In the 2003 version, there are more music variations:
Availability: The Creature Comforts idents appear as a bonus feature on the Season 1 Part 2 DVD of the show.
Visuals: On a certain animated background, there are three blue boxes rotating, and this time, there is a yellow cube with the number "1" on each side, along with 3 other blue squares around it, which rotate to reveal the letters "itv" on the other side. They align with the yellow cube, which turns into a square when aligned with the three smaller blue squares. Finally, the squares shine for a few seconds.
Variants:
Technique: CGI. Like the previous logo, this was designed by BDA Creative.
Audio: A redone version of the previous ident's music.
Visuals: There is the new ITV1 logo appear on screen, before it splits into two halves and rests on either side of the screen. Accompanying the logo is various clips of live action scenes.
Variants:
Technique: Live-action, mixed with 2D animation.
Audio: Depends on the ident, but a short burst of crowd cheering and clapping can always be heard when the logo splits. A continuity announcer is usually heard.
Legacy: These idents were not very well liked by most people and were quickly replaced with the set below (except for Channel Television, which used these Idents until 2013).
Visuals: There is live action footage of one of the scenes below (all involving something yellow), before the ITV1 logo (which now has the ITV lettering in black) appears on the left side of the screen.
Variants:
In 2010, the idents were revamped slightly, with the logo becoming bigger and a glossy gradient being added to the yellow blocks, which themselves became more rounded. If watching on the HD channel, the word 'hd' would appear next to the logo with a transparent glass-like texture. The existing variants were updated with the new logo, and the following new variants were added:
Trivia: More so than most other logos, these were quite the complicated coproduction in terms of the number of studios involved. The idents were based on a creative concept from Red Bee Media, directed by Pleix, produced by Blink Productions, and were handled in post-production by The Mill.
Technique: Live-action.
Audio: A quiet, simple 7-note motif that is repeated throughout the duration of the ident. Some idents may have a slight variation on the instrumentation with the same motif.
Visuals: A different short film plays depending on the ident. After a few seconds, the then-new ITV logo ("itv" in a lowercase cursive font and split into 5 pieces) fades in letter by letter and changes colour to adapt to whatever is going on in the ident. Near the end of the ident, the logo fades out letter by letter.
Technique: Live-action combined with computer effects.
Audio: Depends on the ident.
Visuals: A different 3D animation of the ITV logo plays. There are a different interpretation of the ITV logo made by various artists around the UK, called "ITV Creates". There were 52 in total to begin with, although more have slowly been added over time.
Technique: Usually live-action.
Audio: Ambient sounds, with the announcer talking about the announcement.
Availability:
Visuals: On a static background, a light blue coloured 1 appears, which zooms out into the center of the screen. As it comes to a stop, the 1 becomes slanted as the background pans to the right, causing a trail effect behind the 1. The 1 moves to the left, and as it comes to a stop the 2013 ITV logo fades in.
Variants:
Trivia: The Cityscape and Seaside idents are filmed in Croydon and Lytham St Annes respectively.
Technique: Live-action combined with computer effects, created by DixonBaxi.
Audio: Depends on the ident, composed by Echoic Audio.
