Do you remember seeing at least one of these idents? The 1st image is an ident designed for Emmerdale, but it was never used because the visuals were considered "too obscure". The 2nd image is a generic ident with a red background and yellow text, but only a video exists with the colors switched. The 3rd image is the locations ident which was withdrawn after causing epileptic fits. The 4th image is the morning ident that's used for GMTV handover. The 5th image is the snowflakes ident that was used for Christmas 1996 and 1997 (and possibly 1998). There's also Videotech, vortex, gold searchlight, Christmas tree and a B&W version of Spotlight, but I can't find images for all five. If you remember seeing a video with one of these idents, reply.

I made a video of the lost idents. The B&W Spotlight, Videotech, vortex, gold searchlight and tree idents are mockups.

So the one I thought was "Morning" was actually "24 hour", but I think this might be the actual one: https://ia601805.us.archive.org/34/items/carlton-tv-ident-clean-1996-xmas-glitterball-02/Carlton%20Home%20Entertainment%20%281998%29%20VHS%20UK%20Logo%20-%20Long%20Version.mp4

That's not the actual one, this is the actual one but it's a recreation. I also made a recreation of the second generic ident,

Note: The morning ident has the "sun" rising up.
