CNN Headline News Segment Titles and more…

It can be amazing what you find on the internet sometimes.  I was looking for some more Headline News material, and discovered this.  It’s about 7.5 minutes long and might seem a bit boring at first as the disembodied voice explains how you create multilayered graphics, but stick with it.  At about 4 minutes 30 seconds in he starts showing you some real world work he’d done, and not long after that, you realise that this guy designed the segment opens for CNN Headline News.  The opens date from 1989 so it’s fascinating to see these without any anchors interrupting them.

I promise you, I’ll keep looking for some more great stuff like this.

A little extra information for you.  This ident aired twice a day on Bravo.  It was the first thing seen at startup at midday, and the last thing seen at closedown at midnight.

One of my all time favourites and I’m pleased to be able to present it here.

ABC1 UK PrimeTime ident

There are channels that come and go, and there are channels that stay.  Some of the better ones that disappear do manage to leave an impression that remains long after they’ve gone, and ABC1 is one of those channels.

Stay tuned.  More on the way shortly here at Ident City.
