Horror Channel Ident Inspiration

General colour palette of white, red and black, horror cliches used but generally kept low key, crisp typography, blood, often humorous.

Arts Channel Ident Inspiration

Movement, mixed media, flowing, play on typography, could be representing a single art form or many, colourful but not bright.

History Channel Ident Inspiration

Structured typography, warm palette, simplistic/minimalistic, plain backgrounds that focus on 'grand' typography.

I have also added in stills from the 'Ripper Street' title sequence by Momoco. I really like the way they used layers and transparency to inform the viewer of the historical content. It seems to be a more modern representation than the general history channels.

Lifestyle/Daytime Channel Ident Inspiration

Colourful, crisp, often a light background, abstract.

Children's Channel Ident Inspiration

Bright colours, humorous, exaggerated, fast-paced, erratic, often a play on typography/anthropomorphism/personification.

Horror Channel Ident

I have been researching horror tv channel idents and my favourite so far is by JiaminLiu for the Horror Channel - Christmas idents project. I love the spray paint effect cut-out style and the humour.

Channels for ident creation

The TV channels that I am considering creating indents for are as follows:

This list may change as the project progresses. I will be posting relevant videos that inspire me for each category shortly.
