The Martin Lambie-Nairn Collection

[Inspector Sands]

The Carlton idents were the best thing Carlton did.

Thames obviously was much better with everything else, but its identity was dated as hell, when it shut down

Yes, at the end Thames' identity was very smart at the end, but in comparison with what followed, and what LWT were doing it looked quite pompous.

From the start with that opening programme they seemed a lot more 90s. I wonder how Thames would have looked had they survived

I can't be the only one who gets really irritated by that horrid mid-ident cross fade on the zoom out to the full skyline and caption?

As good at the model (or CGI) of the landmarks are, it really grates. Either pan around, then sweep out in one continous shot - not pan showing off how good the graphics/modelling is, but then when nearly running out of time, quickly cross fade and zoom out. Awful.

Yes it was! It also botherered me how the clouds background is obviously a still image, it can't have been too expensive to have purchased a stock clip of moving clouds!

These new idents uploaded here struck out to me somehow:

From a comment on the Carlton video that started this thread - the channel's game plan:

"We are starting out by uploading a few each of a broad sample of Martin's work. We will add more examples in due course."
