Add a photo to this galleryITV2 was launched on 7 December 1998. The first look was designed by English & Pockett.[1]
2001–2003
2001–2002
A new look for the channel was also designed by English & Pockett and it was launched on 19 November 2001 to bring ITV2 in line with ITV1.
- "We created a branding solution that builds on ITV1's positioning and reinforces the modern and active character of ITV2.
- ITV2 is all about doing, entertaining, playing and winning. While the graphic presentation is modern and stylised, the use of conversation and realistic effects in the sound design make the brand feel human and accessible.
- The modern styling is based on typography and language. The idents are active – swimming, dancing, bowling, fairground attractions – positive lifestyle attributes." - English & Pockett
2002–2003
The logo had a three-dimensional effect applied on 28 October 2002.
2003–2006
This logo, created by Bruce Dunlop and Associates was launched on 14 July 2003.[2] It would also be used by ITV1 from November 2004. The ITV2 logo is inverted.
- "Our new design work on ITV2 has created a more focused look for the channel, creating a brand that does justice to its strong position in the market. We set out to show that there is a whole other side to ITV and in doing so strengthened both ITV1 and ITV2. Our idea to ‘flip’ the three blue blocks and one yellow block of ITV1 to the opposite ratio for ITV2 was the natural visual realisation of this. This allowed us to have fun with the channel and at the same time create a distinctive, uncompromising attitude and look." - Matt Piper, designer, Bruce Dunlop & Associates
2006–2013
2006–2008
A new look for ITV1, ITV2 and ITV3 were launched on 16 January 2006. It was created by Red Bee Media.
- "ITV2 programming has an addictive quality to it – you just can’t help watching it! As a result, the creative idea for the branding for this channel is centred around fun, excess, and general over-the-topness – too much of everything. It’s a journey through a visually rich, vibrant and stylish ITV2 environment. The idents use a mixture of live action and animation to bring this world to life. This is also taken through into the on-screen design elements from promo ends to menus to break bumpers" - ITV plc press release[3]
2008–2013
A new look for ITV2 was launched on 20 August 2008. The previous logo was retained, however it was always presented in three-dimensions at a pronounced angle. The numeral within the logo became a metallic silver.
