They were quite boring. Carlton had it right with their exceptional hearts/star combo and imho what the rest of the network should have gotten.
That being said, the EM&P personality idents weren't that bad, I didn't think - I honestly feel any attempt at generic/masterbrand type branding would face opposition at that time - almost as if people knew what was coming and wanted to resist it.
One thing I never understood was the ITV logo from 1998, it was not a very strong logo at all (then again the 2006 logo was equally as bland) - at least the IT\= logo made out a '3' in the V shape - the 1998 ITV logo always struck me as a kneejerk to the clean BBC logo that launched a year prior.
Regarding my previous post, I wasn't calling into question anyone's memory - but making the point that we all lived in different regions and therefore saw a fundamentally different channel in each one, so how can we be certain it was actually launched that day, did anyone launch it early or late for instance? When did Central/Carlton change their ITV ident to the new logo?
