I've made no secret of the fact on TV Forum that I was a big fan of the Carlton package used from 1999-2002:

And when New Year came round:

This still looks beautiful 20 years later, IIRC it was a Lambie-Nairn creation, something like "the star at the heart of the network" was the idea they went with?

Any other examples of "best" packages?
I think I have a couple of favourite packages.

The ITV1 presentation from 2006 has to be one of my favourites. This is because of the emotions idents which I know some people dislike but I actually enjoyed those idents very much. I'll always have fond memories of watching the ITV1 pride ident at like 5pm waiting for The Price Is Right to come on.

Another one is the ITV1 Christmas Package from 2012. The idents looks amazing and is one of those idents that just screams Christmas. People can argue that it's over the top but let's face it, alot of people go over the top at Christmas.

BBC Two (2018-). No competition.
My favourites are:
Channel 4 (Spot the 4; Going back to them now like I've never seen them as I got a bit tired of them around the end of their use, I love them. I think the best one is Alien and the worst one is Estate.)
BBC Two (Curve-; Very good overall.)
BBC One (Balloon; I mean you HAVE to like this one.)
BBC One (Yep, again) (Circles; It's worse than Balloon but still pretty good overall)

As the swansong for not only that logo, but the ITV1 name as well, you could argue it was justified.
A bit random, but I do love NBC's branding they had in the 90s. Sure it was a bit haphazard and sometimes not coherent, but the IDs were always fun and instantly recognisable.

I especially like the ID set NBC commissioned in 1993, and like ITV Creates they asked renowned artists and animators to create short idents for them:

A few more of my favourites include these IDs from 1996

As I said, perhaps not up there with the polished and professional greats - but I like them. The music and visuals always different, but still with the recognisable peacock symbol and GEC chimes.

Overall, I'm just a sucker for cheesy 90s stuff:
