There was also plans for a new Granada ident with a new logo, which was scrapped. I assume Tyne Tees's 2000 logo was part of those plans too - they didn't even update the generic package to use it, which frankly was inexcusable once they edited it to add the ITV1 logo in 2001.
I’m sure the local idents for Yorkshire you’re referring to didn’t launch until late 1999. I think a lot of the designs including the unused ones were designed in house from Yorkshire, unlike the network packages. From what we’ve seen online of what could’ve been, I think Granada were attempting a uniform level of branding for their regions, which never fully materialised.
