ITV2

Background
Launched in December 7, 1998, ITV2 was promised to be a showcase for repeats of some of the best programs on ITV1, as well as having some exclusive new programs. As time moved on, it ultimately became more of a youth-oriented channel.

1st Logo (December 7, 1998-November 18, 2001)
Logo: We see some blurred footage, later revealed to be the point-of-view of an object. We then see a close-up of the object, which zooms back a couple times. The ITV2 logo at the time (a box with a glowing number 2 on top of the 1998 ITV logo) forms, and the slogan "a different view" circles the logo. The background blurs.

Technique: The blurred footage, the camera zooming out. Live-action.

Music/Sounds: Muffled sounds, then a Y2K-era techno theme.

Availability: Extinct.

2nd Logo (November 19, 2001-2003)
Logo: We see a scene made out of words relating to the scene. A yellow box with the number 2 in the Frutiger font is formed, and places itself on the right of a blue rectangle with a word relating to the scene. The 2 moves to the right of the rectangle, turning the rectangle into the 1998 ITV logo in the process. The URL itv.com forms itself on the bottom of the screen.

Variant: In 2002, the logo was made 3D to match the ITV1 logo at the time.

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: Sound effects relating to the scene (for example, rollercoaster sounds and screaming on the rollercoaster ident).

Availability: Extinct.

Variants:
 * Hammers: We see a wall of clocks in the background, before hammers fall from the left side of the screen, smashing into the clocks. The ITV2 logo is coloured red-orange.

 * Tennis Balls: A sea of tennis balls moves around the screen slowly, with one shuttlecock placed in the middle of it. The ITV2 logo is white.
 * Tea and Biscuits: On a picnic table, we see lots of tea cups placed on plates with spoons. Lots of biscuits rain from above, splashing tea everywhere. The ITV2 logo is coloured beige-white.
 * Rock: We see lots of sticks of 'rock', a type of hard candy found mostly in the UK, rolling around and tumbling across the screen. The ITV2 logo is coloured teal.
 * Jam: Across a pink floor, we see lots of jam jars spinning in place and moving across the screen as if they were cars in a traffic jam. The ITV2 logo is coloured pinkish-white.
