Granada had the belief the programmes were its presentation. To be fair to the company Granada tried to give a better presentation from around 85 and even had seasonal promo packages from 89- 95? Granada in-vison went In Autumn 96 when the weird idents come in:
- Art - Different pieces of art in a gallery when lined up at an angle make a diagonal G Arrow. Central had a similar ident, if I recall correctly, which I assume Granada copied. Was used before art/cultural programmes and was quite rare.
- Action or Squad : 3 "G" break into a Building from a Glass Roof
- Eye - Woman holding a remote control, as the camera zooms into one of her eyes which contains a G Arrow. Quite creepy. Used in the daytime. Don't much remember it being used in the latter years. Probably gave children nightmares.
- Fish - A goldfish spits a bubble with a G Arrow in it which rises to the surface, where the G Arrow floats on the waves. General use but most commonly seen in the daytime, particularly afternoons.
- Fingerprint: Hand is dusting for prints and finds Fingerprint of the G logo.
- Football - A G Arrow playing keep ups with a ball in front of a goal. Usually used for sport programmes, most commonly Granada Soccer Night.
- Formula 1 - A Formula 1 car speeds away leaving lots of tiny gold G Arrows as exhaust on the tarmac. Used before Forumula 1 coverage.
- Frost/Ice - A person, always looked like he was wearing ski wear, rips something off the camera which makes a G Arrow mark in the frost/condensation. Often used in the daytime. Seemed to be used all year round despite the cold theme.
- Glass - Orange glass G Arrows on sticks. Seemed to be used before cultural/high brow programmes. Not very common.
- Soap - A G Arrow appears as some sort of soap block on the wall. Generally used in the mornings, often the first junction after handover from GMTV.
- Rocket - A rocket with a G Arrow-shaped airlock which closes shut. The rocket takes off and leaves scorch marks in the shape of a G Arrow. Was general use.
- Train - A model train track shaped like a G Arrow with a toy train on it pulling into a station. Was general use.
- Sketch - A canvass with a G Arrow drawn with crayons.
- Space - A space ship in the shape of the G Arrow goes through space.
- Art - Different pieces of art in a gallery when lined up at an angle make a diagonal G Arrow. Central had a similar ident, if I recall correctly, which I assume Granada copied. Was used before art/cultural programmes and was quite rare.
