Channel 4 at its weirdest, the way i like it.

These are magnificently weird, which is exactly what we need from Channel 4. Awesome stuff!

I get the feeling that Channel 4 are deliberately provoking for negative and controversial responses. Part of me admires that. After all, that's what Channel 4 has always tried to do, and have done so very well at times over the years. These new idents subvert the logo to the most extreme level possible. Look again, and you might realize that they have more in common with the previous package than you first think. The logo is there, but almost entirely subliminally. They are placing so much confidence in the recognition of the 4 logo,that they are willing to deconstruct it entirely, knowing that you will look harder than ever before to try and find it. This comment surprises me. I didn't intend to praise these idents. I hate them. They anger me to some degree. But they've achieved an emotional response, and that's actually a very powerful way to deliver a message. You can't ignore it, though you probably wanted to.

Video is 4 minutes and 4 seconds. This is no accident.

Cool as always - Channel 4 have always been original In their idents imo.

I can here the children now MOMMY THE CREEPY OWL DANCER IS SCARING ME!

When I saw the 2015-17 ident presentation, I never saw the monkey puppet with the facial gold bars being broadcast. When I first saw the new presentation, the first ident I saw was the blue ores ident but with the cliff face demolition in slow motion and a different soundtrack.

The coloured blocks at the start are all you need. They are perfect.

These had me hooked! I really wanted to see what happened to the explorer on the red planet and the shaman in the cave.

I can see these going before an episode of “Jim Henson’s The Hoobs” either them or The 1999-2005 ones that were before the show

despite myself, I absolutely love the bird man

I think these idents are really creative and random. The only thing that I don't like about them is the lack of Channel 4's iconic logo.

Unlike most people, I was lucky enough to have never seen the shaman ident when it aired.

all a good ident needs is something simple, with a neat logo and a nice jingle.

This looks really cool! I first caught the "miners" one after an episode of The Simpsons. (I thought they could all be connected into one story the first time I watched them. Now I've seen them all that probably isn't the case.)

Nice to hear four score again.

I thought it was a wee tad odd but on look back I'll beyond be in love with them

I prefer the old branding.

YOU WIN EVERYTHING!...IT'S AMAZINWESOME

Oops, thank you! It looks like Telekom Srbija is going to get a new logo in January 2014.

Alright finally seen it last night, it's nice but definitely should have the Channel 4 ident/logo incorporated somehow.

WTF is with the jiggling bird creature?!?

I actually quite like it. It's innovative, (Yes I had to use ok google to spell that). Keep the old man as the network brand but give the channels their complete own identity. 👍👍👍

Glad I found out what this was actually about I was clueless to it

Beguiling, beautiful, intriguing and so, so Channel 4. Branding that (apparently literally) needs no introduction.

Does anyone else feel uncomfortable when they're watching these or is it just me?

Awesome work!

2:31 - 3:00 couldn’t catch me doing that

The bouncing, spinning blocks should be the idents, not some abstract video art.

Quite a big change, much better than when ITV rebranded but I dunno this is a bit weird, will have to see it on TV.

The idents create a strange kind of tension as you seek the familiar in the unfamiliar and want the blocks to come together to make a 4, but its unresolved. Dunno if I like it, kind of do though.

I bet the Shaman piece at 1:32 must have been a bit of ba****d for a continuity announcer to wonder when he/she should start announcing?!!😆

I didn't see the new Channel 4 logo until today.

Does anyone know who made that calming japanese music in the waterfall/crystal ident?? I must have it!!!

Nice

Love it. The weirdo live-action crystal shorts are brilliant. What studio is behind this?

These idents are frustrating. You want them to make a 4 but you know they won't...

The one at the beginning was good.

1:45 - Looks like a live action Deku Scrub from Legend of Zelda

When I saw the shape, I knew it’s channel 4.

Anyone know where the waterfall/rainforest area is?

need to know who made this music... so cool

Does anyone know the location of the first video? It's so beautiful

Did Mica Levi compose the music for these?

These idents are actually poignant. What they're saying is that the places in these films are where the channel 4 blocks come from....and that channel 4 itself is not like any other channel, so don't privatise it and make it look like the others! Weird to watch and unsettling but that's the whole point. It's a call to its own viewers for help and to get them to save the channel.

The last indent is just fantastic what on earth is that creature

I could..possibly see "4" in the first ident, but I think I was willing myself too much. they are nice, I think. but I'll be voted down because everyone hates them because 'omg the four's gone' Yeah, that might be the point, guys..

does anyone know who the Channel 4 artists are

It tries. It tries too hard I think. There also should be a clock for the Channel Four News at seven. A former disabled carer. From The New Forest. GOD BLESS!

0:00-0:07 Channel 4 1982 logo

who did the music??

I rather like this and if Channel 4 can get rid of some of their shows then I might watch more.

They don't look that bad, to be honest

I really hate the one at the 3:01 mark For the 0:43 mark, I hate it how there's so many crystals in it. I have a weird hatred for seeing so many crystals

I don't get it

3:43 what this?

Shrek at 12:15

How can you have an ident without the Channel 4 logo? Doesn't make any sense.

1982 vs 2015 blocks

Can someone send me the 12pm ident 2015 thxs

its not about the channel 4 logo

How does all this have to do with the channel.. I rather the old shapes forming into a 4 idents, maybe we can edit it some how for a 4 to be seen..

Huh, not bad

Don't like it. Few ideas are good, but overall just looks chaotic, unpolished, unappealing and weird.

Why is someone throwing rocks?

Channel 4 with block phyiscs.

Goodness me, this is a joke right? I mean bring back the 1982 ident !! How much time and money has been spent on all this utter nonsense! Where is the 4 logo in any of these ridiculous attempts?

it's OK I just don't like that dancing bird thing it creeps me out😦

Yuu

Well these idents didn’t last long

Imagine if you tried this hard with the shows you make, rather than producing an endless slurry of freakshows and human bear baiting.

still dosen't beat the original

what"s with those dudes collecting crystals???? wtf??? I liked the Blackpool promenade and the plane cemetery much better...

Seriously WTF? THIS SAY'S NOTHING.... just pretentious toss.... and whoever thought of this should be fired.... what was the four circles too complex?

Lllll

W

What the hell is all this nonsense?

I prefer the old branding.
