Channel Television

NOTE: You can see some of the Channel Television idents here.

1st Logo (September 1, 1962-1982)

Channel Television (2004)Nicknames: "Heart of the Islands", "Planet Channel Islands II"

Logo: Over the same "spinning hearts" background as in the second ITV generic logo, we see a rotating blue globe containing the five main Channel Islands, in yellow, and two yellow comets orbiting the globe, perpendicular to each other. After a while, the globe and comets zoom out to the top half of the screen, and the word "Channel", in yellow Optima font, moves in below from the bottom. The words "HEART OF THE ISLANDS", in white, then fade in below "Channel". Finally, the globe and comets become static in such a way that all five Channel Islands can be seen on the globe, while the comets form a heart shape.

Variants: Sometimes, the Channel's URL of the time would also fade in, immediately below "HEART OF THE ISLANDS". There was also a variant with a cloudy blue and purple BG.

FX/SFX: All the animation in this logo.

Music/Sounds: An extended version of the guitar jingle from the 8th logo, together with the inclusion of a piano.

Availability: Extinct.

Editor's Note: None.

13th Logo (June 1, 2006-2013)
