- 30 years ago back on the 1st September 1989, the very first generic look from ITV was unveiled to the world.
We believe at around 17.15 with Thames never starting to use the look until the following Monday
Unfortunately is was not well like five ITV companies said no outright Anglia Television, Channel Television, TVS, TSW and Ulster Television. Scottish took the ident but used it sparely with its own presentation and dropped it in early 1990.
Two companies who used it the longest were Yorkshire Television who altered the ident to show off the Chevron at the end, then binned it in early October 1994.
Grampian Television continued to use the 1989 generic ident right up until ITV's new corporate logo was introduced in October 1998. However most of the time Grampian used invison, thus you never really saw in the first place.
The song "Get Ready For ITV" was such fascinating music.
Thanks for over 1000 subs!
All these generics are owned by ITV.
I think this was one of the best generic identities ITV have had and the idea of incorporating all the local television providers onto the generic ITV logo is something to applaud. See a lot of stations refused to use it, wonder if they regret that decision as now the ITV, or itv, logo has no mention of a local provider now
I love all the old TV idents. These have a special place in my heart as well as they remind me of watching television at the weekend.
Yeah, especially the other networks which used 1989 ITV generic ident.
Here’s what who did what:
ANGLIA: DID NOT adopt the generic look. The Norwich based company adopted a new flag based logo in 1988, replacing the Anglia Knight, which was in use since day one, in 1959, only being updated in 1970, when Anglia first aired in Color. So they felt NO Need to adopt the Generic Logo.
BORDER: Adopted the Generic Logo. This was one of the few adoptions that actually worked, as it was the first time Border had Animation in their ident. The Chopsticks logo also mainly fit the “V” in the ITV Logo.
Central: adopted but would customize the ident before dropping the generic look altogether, adding their own jingle, then adopting the ITV logo into their idents, then dropping the generic look staying with “The Cake”.
CHANNEL: DID NOT adopt the generic look. Channel had updated to a 3D animated variant of their CTV logo that same year, replacing the 2D animated CTV seen since the mid 1980s.
GRAMPIAN: Adopted the generic look, in fact their logo fit so well, they kept it up to 1998.
GRANADA: DID NOT fully adopt the Generic look, but they did have a custom version integrating their 1989 animation with the Generic ITV logo, which was used briefly.
HTV (Harlech): Adopted the generic look, kept up until 1993. A variant with the jingle with the HTV logo staying on screen did exist.
London weekend: adopted the generic look, but dropped it in 1992 for their own package.
SCOTTISH: similar case to Granada, but no custom version. Scottish would drop the generic look almost immediately.
THAMES: used the generic look up to 1991, when they lost the franchise round to Carlton. Their generic look got updated in 1990
TVS (Television South): DID NOT adopt the generic look. They introduced a new animated ident around 1987, and elected to stay with that logo.
TSW (Television Southwest): DID NOT adopt the generic look, they debuted a 3D animated version of their logo in 1988.
TYNE TEES: Adopted the Genetic look and used it up to 1991, the. Reintroduced their own package, keeping the 1970 (updated in 1979 and then again in 1988) logo with the Jingle up to 1993/94.
ULSTER (UTV): DID NOT Adopt the Generic look. They adopted a 3D version of their logo in 1988.
YORKSHIRE: did adopt the Generic look, but updated the design in 1991 to show the full Chevron.

Must admit I wasn't lover of these generic titles as each region sounded better by its own theme eg for me in London hearing the Thames and LWT jingles as for the other viewers whatever region you lived. Otherwise it brings back great memories
I wasn't alive during this time but this music just makes me feel great but also relaxed at the same time like I've got no problems whatsoever.
All of them are here except for Yorkshire's second version which goes into the full Y.
Thames Is the only one that actually fits the Triangle.
0:43 GLICH
Channel Television was made from The V's Triangle Shield to Turn into a CTV forum of ITV
Interesting how some regions had the music abruptly stop when the V appeared, and others had the flutes carrying on for a while. I was most familiar with the Yorkshire region growing up, but when I stayed in a hotel in London and heard that familiar melody stop, it was quite jarring!
