Yeah, I think they were going to rebrand one by one. Yorkshire's idents were finished, and launched alongside the hearts but only used for local shows. Tyne Tees's package launched a year later (local shows until then used the old ident) - but didn't match the hearts idents which weren't updated. Granada's was scrapped and they used the hearts even for local shows.

But I do wonder if all GMG regions were to have Yorkshire style idents. The background animations were certainly made but only used on local programme trailers (LWT included, but with red, white and blue squares), and the the 1999 Christmas idents for the GMG North stations were a similar layout.
