Pure speculation here but there were some people who felt the animated ITV4 ident felt out of place, perhaps it's in preparation for showing more animated content on the channel?
It would actually make the evening schedules a lot more plentiful when there's no sport on air, ITV4 has been heavily relying on action films and All Elite Wrestling to prop up primetime. Anime in particular reduces this especially when there's already enough material to broadcast in the schedules.
Much of ITVX's anime library is the same that All 4 previously had before ITV secured the rights, I recognise shows such as Cowboy Bebop and Persona 5: The Animation that have recently been added.
