Background

On 31 October 2005, Sky One Mix was rebranded to Sky Two; prior to this, an existing Sky 2 channel existed for a short time between 1 September 1996 and 31 August 1997. On 30 August 2020, it was rebranded to Sky Replay.


Sky Two

1st ID (31 October 2005-14 February 2008)


Visuals: Same as the Sky One ident package of the time, except with the Sky Two logo appearing in the middle. Also, what appears to be a carnival is formed and it all takes place on a dark green background.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: Some music plays throughout, typically with a announcer spiel.

2nd ID (15 February-31 August 2008)

Visuals: Same as the Sky One ident package, except the ident package is in green and the Sky Two logo appears below.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: Some music plays throughout, typically with an announcer talking over it.

Sky 2

1st ID (31 August 2008-1 February 2011)

Visuals: A live-action scene is seen, in which a large numeral depicting the Sky channels' logo interacts with the environment. Much like the previous ID, the majority of the ident set is shared between Sky1, Sky2, and Sky3, with the difference being each individual channel's numeral and material state: in Sky2's case, it uses green liquid.

Idents: See here.

Technique: Usually a combo of live-action and CGI. The main ident set was directed by Jonathan Yeo and produced by The Moving Picture Company and Sky Creative.

Audio: Each ID has its own unique jingle and/or sounds corresponding to the actions onscreen; the musical scores were composed by Freefarm.

2nd ID (1 February 2011-8 October 2017)

Visuals: Same as the Sky One idents from the time, but instead having "Sky 2" instead of "Sky 1".

Technique: A combo of live-action and CGI.

Audio: As with the previous logo, all of them feature their own unique jingle and/or sounds.

3rd ID (9 October 2017-30 August 2020)

Visuals: The Sky Two logo forms on a blue background.

Technique: Simple animation.

Audio: An announcer spiel over some music.
