ITV is still Central, to me. Back in the day, I think most people would use the two terms interchangeably. So the ITV name doesn't feel alien to me, but I still find myself occasionally calling it Central. It's a tricky one, because the Central name has never fully died out. It's continued use for regional news helps prevent me from coming to terms with the fact that the brand has otherwise long since been dropped. It always used to bemuse me, as a kid, when older folk would still call it ATV long after the name changed to Central. I'm now in that position, old habits die hard.

What did you say again

[@mreurovision1986]

Wish Itv would go back to it's regional franchises as this is when it was at it's best

[@jane1975]

E-M Entertainment No, ITV ( which stood for Independant Television) used to a network of regional stations across the United Kingdom, launching in 1955. Before then, there had only been 2 terrestrial channels broadcasting, BBC 1 and BBC 2. Each regional station had its only identity that would come up before the programmes it produced in other regions and its own on air symbol in the region it covered. There were startups in the morning as every region woke up for the day, usually at 9 am as before that it was a Breakfast Television franchise on ITV called TV Am which launched in competition with BBC Breakfast Time. This also had a startup around 6 am. A continuity announcer for each franchise station would announce the station and its broadcast transmitter locale over the intro. I don’t know what the US has, but I doubt it is anything like we had with ITV back then, @Andrew Jeff is right, ITV was great back then, now it’s just chav tv now.

[@jcagraphiclibrary]

In the usa the stations are member of the TV network. In the UK the stations was independient companies than produce his own programs and news. Operating only in the área than was licenced to them. And was regulated by the Independent Broadcasting Authority

[@jcagraphiclibrary]

@E-M Entertainment if you say "análogous" like old, I don't think so

[@jcagraphiclibrary]

@E-M Entertainment the way than the us companies works in the TV stations is very diferente to the UK way

I’m sure there was an ident where the Channel 4 symbol would morph into the Central cake - used when they were promoting what was about to start on Channel 4. I haven’t seen footage of it anywhere!

[@97channel]

I can't recall one quite like that, but I do know that there were a small number of animated sequences which crudely crowbarred the Channel 4 logo in. One was the cake flying into place towards the top left of the screen, with just a static 4 logo beneath it and the listings beside each. Another I can vaguely recall had a shadow of the 4 logo passing over an angled closeup of the cake. They certainly did incorporate the 4 logo into some of the Central sequences, but I don't recall one where the two logos literally morphed into one another. But, this is Central we're talking about so it wouldn't surprise me if they was a rogue one in existence somewhere among the hundreds of ident variations they produced. I don't think it's possible to have a definitive collection of every single one.

[@ITVWeatherFans]

Maybe not the one you're thinking of, but I came across this clip from user 'tiacwot' - at 04mins 09 on the clip linked below there's a 4 logo stretching out to the Central cake. Not one I'd seen before. There's a couple of other examples on that user's channel, with the 4 logo hovering over the cake during the mid-1990s. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jom8oqSFftOZec0

[@jcagraphiclibrary]

Damn I was especting something more impresive. Like the bars of the 4 logo be disarmed and the they will be fused into the cake or something. Lol

[@TheLightingPerson]

@Jayvee Calvo Cartlon owned Central in 1994. But that didn't stop Central cake exist, as this only cause the programs is different. In 1997, Central idents is replaced with Cartlon idents with only Cartlon name is replaced with Central (Cartlon made this happened, not Central).

It was absolutely ridiculous how much money was spent on those logos. Every week they seemed to be a new one and half of them were absolute crap but somebody was employed for life in presentation.

Looks to me like the could never make their mind what they wanted nor content with any one logo, absolutely no need for all these variations when all but three of them were rubbish! Perhaps the probelm was there are just too many animations that can be done with a 3D Cake pattern and six colours! they certainly took that to the extreme and imo lost their way. The logo at 5:16 had the best sound design and graphic and they should have quit then.

To be honest, as I remember it when these were introduced in 1985 there were complaints about that one piece of music that they played to death. Saying that considering how basic computer technology was back then and they could produce that, why the hell can't ITV do the same 30+ years later? That awful logo, the laziness of it all. And let's not start about the fitness class and the one on the end who can't keep up and can't remember the steps on BBC One. British TV needs to look across to America and see the boldness of the NBC, CBS, ABC logos and get something that works than this BBC 'lets keep everyone happy' instead of just bringing back the b***dy globe.
