To quoth the mask of apple: 'Everybody has one. There's a whole internet subculture dedicated to it. Television Idents and logos that scared the crap out of you as a kid'.
Undoubtedly, there are television idents, and pieces of presentation that likely unsettled you as a child. As a 3-5 year old with Autism, there were two pieces of presentation that scared me to tears every time I saw them. Firstly were the Powergen Weathergens, which sponsored ITV Weather throughout the 90's and early 2000's. While undoubtedly creative, and I appreciate them for what they are, they brought me to tears when I saw them. Especially Frice.

Then there was the Sky One christmas idents from about 2000-2001? Not entirely sure, but that also had a Jack Frost-like theme, that I cannot find on YouTube. However, this begs the question. What ident or piece of pres scared you as a child? Were you afraid to watch Emmerdale Farm, for the booming Yorkshire Television fanfare? Were you unsettled by the DIC production logo? Are you scared of the Channel 4 blocks?
