Of course there should have been generic idents from that date, but they were pulled at the last minute and eventually heavily reworked into what most regions got just over a year later.

In the words of the old t|v|a (TV Archive) site: "As with everything, you have to try, try and try again before something becomes right. Unfortunately ITV missed this concept and tried, got it right, then tried again... and subsequently delivered blue spinning hearts".

Yes, it was a shame. What should have been a great ident package became something very much ‘designed by committee’.
