Can't really look further than BBC 2 in 1991 and the subsequent additions across the 90s (in fact if we're getting really specific, the 1993 idents were the best of the lot).

2004 Channel 4 was so good, like nothing else seen at the time and so adaptable. I know they're less fondly remembered, but I really liked the circles as well (and have a real soft spot for the even less fondly remembered 2015 idents, I particularly loved Mica Levi's soundtrack).

Channel 5 ( 2016-2020)

UKTV Gold ( 2004-2007)

ITV ( 2013-2019)

[This is UTV]

ITV ( 2013-2019)

The colour picking idents on the main ITV channel were 2013-2018. So are you including the first year of ITV Creates also?

The UTV colour picking idents were a particular favourite of mine. Welders, rock concert, dive bomb in swimming pool and the exclusive music used on pigeons for us in N.I.

Channel 4: 99-04

The C4 squares era is somewhat overlooked thanks I think to what followed, but it was a very strong presentation package at the time though perhaps tinkered with a bit too much over it's years on air. I never understood for example why very quickly they changed the "Next" programme graphics from something involving the stripes to just a single white line moving across the screen.

When the BBC Two idents made a return in in the mid 2010s and I was able to relive my long lost childhood.
Mind you, I wasn't disgruntled to see what they were replaced with.
