So the soundtrack for the idents of today should be... the soundtrack from the idents of the 80s? I don't understand this thought process, take me through it if you could.

The same reason NBC still uses the G-E-C chime.

Perhaps it’s the same reason Fourscore was originally dumped (without any visual change in the idents at that stage) in late 1992 - having to pay royalties?

That was the other reason but figuring they've been using it recently it might not be that anymore. Anyway, motif is different from music as it is notes (like NBC's chimes) and not a composition as with music. On that basis, they should be using Fourscore as in those four notes, not the music.

Maybe they will once the new idents are actually revealed. The colour changing one still feels very stop-gap.

They weren't all used and were quite varied. They're still using the same four notes for that dreadful jingle today, so I don't see what's wrong with using some from the original suite. Perhaps I'm just nostaglic.

Throwing my two cents here (and howdy all, long time lurker from the blue place.) I like the ident.

Like the simplicity and seems it has more in common with simple idents of yore, with just the logo in centre piece. Sensory colour choice and jingle, look forward to seeing the rest of the set!

They've updated the 'Trending now on All 4..Channel 4' menu

Slightly strange new style of ident/streaming promotion has started appearing... https://www.tvhome.co.uk/channel-4/2023/05/20/1630

Appear to have discovered that E4 Extra now has a "returns at 7.00am" screen at closedown, however still airs Teleshopping afterwards. Odd.
