I was looking at The Ident Review on Youtube, and noticed this episode.

Reviewing what he thinks is a 60th anniversary celebration ident animation... but it's actually a series of mocks. Shows how good these mocks are!
I don't watch 'reality TV' programmes as the people are shallow. I saw this trailer for ITV Hub on ITV2, and it panders to my worst sociopathic tendencies.
I have no idea who the people are supposed to be. It just makes me laugh so much.

CBBC and CBeebies are successful, in fact the latter rates quite well by comparison. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
And if CBeebies doesn’t change it logo come October, then arguably it’s some of the best value branding the BBC has ever made.
Besides, what the BBC have done with the kids channels is no different to the other kids networks - Nickelodeon has Nick Jr, Disney Channel had Disney Junior (still does in the US), Pop has Tiny Pop, and Cartoon Network has Cartoonito. CITV doesn't have a stand alone second channel for toddlers, but they do have a block on ITV Be called LittleBe.
CITV actually had a block aimed at preschoolers called Mini CITV before it was phased out by 2013.
IMO I think ITV might/should try to make LittleBe its own channel and they should give it its own EPG position on , by also changing its name, still timeshifting with ITVBe, similar to Cbeebies-BBC Four (although I realize commercial operations do not behave like public ones)
Probably extending the broadcast 6am-7pm. Is ITVBe so successful outside of peak time, anyway?
I mean, currently having a preschooler channel on a relatively minor entertainment channel seems "strange" to me
Personally I think it’s an awful campaign that thinks it’s smarter than it actually is. I can’t really see there being much of an audience crossover between their high-end dramas and ITVBe reality shows. It does nothing to make me want to use the Hub but maybe it’s not aimed at me.
They’re nicely shot though!
I simply don't understand it - I don't think it's a good sign if you watch an advert and are left confused as to what you've just watched. I agree they are well produced, but what is it advertising? Drama, Reality, both, or The Hub in general?

How do you think it holds up?
The Logo is a design classic, and I think it demonstrated what ITV was in that era. it is formal, but the music package, and the triangle motif (though poorly executed in some areas) displayed the lighter side of the channel. You could never do that now with the current ITV.

Advertisments entice you to buy products. This is a
trailer about a free service on a TV channel. It's not asking you to buy anything. There is a fundamental difference.
I don't really want to be pedantic, but some of the Daily Mail ranters also always refer to trailers on BBC channels as 'adverts'. It's a quite annoying misconception and basic misunderstanding.
Do other regions now get an announcement with named presenters every night at 6pm?
Until recently in the Calendar region it was only the main A team who got name checked, and any other combination including the regular Friday B team just received a generic announcement
But now all kinds of different combinations have an announcement by the network announcer

Yeah we only use to get the main presenters or the main cover presenters, but I noticed Chris Hall who normally does sport on Granada Reports got a name check last night on the ident.
ITV London didn't namecheck either Ronke Phillips or Geraint Vincent this week but they have done for Duncan Golestani when he's been on.
A programme menu for Saturday night before tonight's first Corrie- that's a very rare sight in this day and age.
