Incredibly simple, but it's versatile, easy on the eye, a pleasure to listen to.I think if they had more variants of it (just simply different colour combinations) it would work better, but for me where it fails is the animation of the 4 logo itself looks very cheap.
Signature jingles, too. They seem to have vanished.
I'd love to see a new incarnation of the original logos, perhaps in real world locations, with a concept similar to the brilliant SF1 idents of a few years back.

Most of all a bit more ambition in the idents - although I don't think ITV's latest set quite hits the mark it is at least a bit more ambitious than it first appears, both in the design and in the concept. The BBC2 curves are still the best of the bunch in recent years and show how functional doesn't have to be boring (hello C5!)
