S4C Christmas 2023 - TesTVWhirl - 04-12-2023
They usually get missed by many, but S4C's Christmas Presentation has launched today, though I couldn't spot a press release to go with it on the English site this year and instead it's just their programme highlights release. They have a bit of a habit at S4C of switching between live action idents one year and animated the next, though it's generally always been something fresh and not recycled. However this time round it looks like even they may have gone and followed the trend by dusting off something from an old S4C look a decade ago with some minor updates. But it's still back on the animated sequences.
Just a few examples so far:-

They've aged pretty well given how far they've gone back - though I'm undecided whether it works better with the old or the new branding.
I wasn't a fan of last year's 'POV' package (you could tell they were milking their version of 'Gogglebocs' weren't you?), even though they made the effort to come up with some New Year's idents, too.
Seems appropriate given the present state of the channel that they've resorted to a less turbulent Christmas past rather than commission something new (makes me wonder if the sacked chief content officer had that responsibility...)

The 2006 idents also split into post Christmas, The TV set motif was retained for the new year, although this was just because it was going to lead into the major rebrand.

I love the original animation and think they hold up really well - they still feel fresh. When the channel's presentation makes so much use of that screen-splitting angled line though, it does bother me that the angles within the animation (the Christmas tree, the rooftops) don't align. That would have made them feel very purposeful and tailored. Likely just an unfortunate result of these being reused rather that built for this specific pres package.
