Channel 4 2004 Idents - The Ident Review

Episode 98

This time on THE IDENT REVIEW, we return to Channel 4 to take a look at the vast majority of sequences that occupied viewers screens from 2004 to 2015!

After the new millennium began, many TV channels began to adapt a 'bare bones' approach to their idents. Channel 4 also did this to an extent, but still managed to inject its own signature quality into many of the sequences they presented. So join me, as we go through half an hours worth of Channel 4 idents, many of which went on to become absolute classics!

I can't thank you enough for this review. Honestly, it might sound strange but these idents have a special place in my heart. You know that they held much must older and that I watch them all the time and still do sometimes go back to the island gallery to watch them. I know it's going to be a great review and yeah I said it before but thank you so much for this ident review and I'm looking forward to the next one, if it is. Happy that this is a long one too.

I may be 2 years late, but amazing video! I recently have been going down the Rabbit Hole of TV, Indents and Channel Shutdowns and haven't found a good channel covering them until yours! Keep up the amazing content!

Also as a theme park and coaster enthusiast, the theme park from 23:59 (Coaster) is from Knotts Berry Farm in Buena Park, California. The rider POV is on the ride "Jaguar!" with the pieces around the set being from other rides around the park such as "Xcelerator" and "Perilous Plunge".

As an American, I find entertainment and enjoyment from both American and British television, and British TV, along with your country’s better quality of life and cultural charm, make me want to move to the UK when I grow up. Great review as always. Keep up the good work.

I'm American and I found these fascinating the moment I first saw them on YouTube-it was kind of a challenge trying to pause them at the exact moment when the pieces of the 4 line up just right but it's worth it to see how the logo looks

I know you might have already covered the specially designed one for the Simpsons with Homer trying to reach over for his cans of Duff.

Also, the Tokyo one was really beautiful with all the vibrant colours and the panning shots of the city.

Also, the gritty realism of the Flats one definitely captured what it was going for and very well might I add, the music also adds to the vibe too.

Wasn't there one on a rollercoaster?

Once you really think about these idents, it actually starts to scare me imagine waking up and casually seeing rectangles floating for no reason, and seeing floating buildings. Hell this could make one hell of a horror film.

[BugsBunnyandArchieMcIvor]

This is favourite Channel 4 idents era!

[MostlyLoveOfMusic]

These were the best. Thanks for covering them all

[LandoLife-YT]

This is an amazing video and you are such an underrated content maker. Keep it up bro 🔥🔥

[andresbravo]

“Flats” was the last ident that showed on Channel 4’s 2004 ident set before the Pieces Set debut on Tuesday, 29th September 2015 at 9 PM. I would mind that the Clock ident is really good of how it unwraps for a new look.

I remember capturing some of these back in the mid 00's when I got my first capture card for my PC. Although, I think a lot of them were bumpers between ads. I've still got them somewhere. I'll have to look them up.

[RebeccaPhythian]

Everybody's every day favourite nuisance was my favourite part of this whole video. This was like pure nostalgia to me. I remember seeing this idents all the time and being drawn to pretty much all of them. Great video 📹 👍🏻❤

[thedoctor]

Great video thank you for all your hard work making it.

[chanify]

The taxi idents is my ultimate favorite, the nostalgia I feel watching it is lovely

[adultmoshifan]

I actually included a snapshot from one of these Channel 4 idents in a video I made on my college years back in April!

[lisanicholls]

the diner and tokyo idents are the best, the neon colours are so pretty 😍

[diaquallo]

The Tokyo ident was my favorite one so far.

[thelothianbuseshub]

The Channel 4 2004 Idents are my childhood

[timecapsule.]

I remember "Market", "Flats" and "Pylons" being played before the Simpsons episodes.
