It's been a while, folks, but I'm finally back. Hello everyone and welcome back to the long-awaited return of Logo Bunch. After a 6-month hiatus, I am finally back to make some new episodes! And wouldn't you know it, this is the 150th episode! It took me a long time to make this 150th episode. After 4 years since 2015, I have managed to get this far, and today in 2019, I am continuing to maintain this tradition. Anyways, today, we are going to finish what we started. As you all know back in August of 2018, I posted the first part where Westralinc (from Deviantart) suggested 4 logos of Independent Television (ITV). Also, in that episode, I discussed about the 1989-1998 and 1998-2006 ITV logos. After that, Logo Bunch took a long sleep. During that, I did some commissions and art trades in the meantime. But now, I'm going to finish Westralinc's request for good. In this episode, I'm now going to talk about the last 2 ITV logos that he suggested, which were the 2006-2013 logo on the top and the present logo on the bottom. Before we talk about the 2006-2013 logo, let's step back a bit to 2001. In there, all ITV affiliates in England and Wales were bought by Carlton or Granada. Also, with the launch of ITV2 and ITV3, they chose to rename their parent channel from ITV to ITV1. Going back into 2006, in January 16, the network got a new look and a new logo was created. The logo was created by Red Bee Media, the same guys who made the logos for other media in the UK such as BBC and Universal. This was also released during the launch of ITV4. As the logo itself is presented, the way the ITV square divided its end to reveal the number is pretty cool. But then again, I know nothing about these UK channels except for BBC. This logo ran for 7 years until 2013 where the next logo on our list is coming. In 2013, as part of their corporate rebranding on January 14, the new ITV logo was revealed. Now looking at this logo, it seems that ITV wanted to return to its former glories by removing the 1 from its name and with the cursive writing just gives it a fancy look. And removing the 1 from the name really is a nice touch in my opinion because I just think that adding the 1 in the logo changes its identity. I was like, "Where's the original ITV??" Then again, I live in the US, not UK, so there. Anyways, there you have it. That was the long-awaited second part of the previous episode I did a while back. Stay tuned! More logos are coming your way! If you love this episode and Logo Bunch in general, make sure you give it a thumbs up, leave a comment in the comments section down below, and follow my adventures in Deviantart and FurAffinity.
