September 12, 2002 saw the launch of the new on and off air identity for Channel 5 and is a complete transformation of their look, advertising and programming structure.

The shift to Five was an ongoing project with Spin working in tandem with creative strategists WalkerBannisterBuss and advertising company TBWA/London.

Spin’s creative lead encompasses a wide range of off air stationary, promotional material and style guides alongside live action on air idents.

The channel’s logo, previously the number 5 within a circle supported by the colour bar, is now replaced by Five, always appearing in lower case in the mark.

Five is the first UK channel to regularly use purely typographical promos – seeing copy-written type overlaid over sound bites from the channel’s key shows. This method complements more traditional on-air promotions.

The first of the new idents was actually seen ahead of launch on Tuesday 10th September 2002, before the movie 'Saving Private Ryan'. The second of the idents was seen for the repeat showing of the film on Sunday 11th September. The new look was officially launched on Monday 12th September 2002.

New idents:

Out Driving: A woman, in a car, out driving

Pool: A man gets into the pool and swims off.

Weedkiller: Someone pumps and sprays the bushes.

Candy Floss: A boy waits for Candy Floss.

Ride: Someone on a spinning ride.

Robot: Someone picks the robot up, but then puts it back down.

Park Duel: Featuring invisible superheroes fighting in the garden.

Containers Duel: The superheroes are back, fighting in the by some containers.

Accordion: Shopping trolleys in a Sainsbury's car park are used as an accordion.

Gas Drums: Two cranes come in handy as drum sticks in this little ident, as gas storage tanks get used as drums.

Guitar: A busy road gets turned into a guitar, causing a crash or two.

Food Chain: Starting off with a jelly fish, but who's the top of the food chain?

Night Life: A journey where we see taxis, lights and deer.

Fly: A drawn cat tries to join the dots to finish his legs, until he swots a fly.

Sneeze: A girl has a little sneeze, and sneezes up a bouquet of flowers

Love Story: A little love story forms, cut out of the pages of a magazine.

Turf War: A story of hate, and things get a bit nasty, with explosions

Jelly World: The world appears to have turned to jelly...

Generic: A simplistic ident with the Five "five" wordmark animating on, This comes in 4 versions, each a different color.

Color Love: Another nice animated ident for before the news.

Human Paint: Some swirly paint in another pre-news ident.

In April 2004, idents specific to shows such as Neighbors, CSI, Family Affairs and Home and Away began airing, as well as a new ident specifically for U.S crime shows (This ident has a bullet shooting out of a flashlight and through glass, etc), Much of the 2002 set was withdrawn by mid-May 2004, Write a tweet with the only idents remaining after mid-May

User1: Did you catch those new idents that launched yesterday? The Ants one is so cute! 🐜🍃

User2: Yes! I love the ants holding up the Five logo! But do you think they changed the programming along with the new idents? 🤔

User1: Good question! I noticed some fresh show listings, but I’m not sure if it’s just coincidence. Anyone have the scoop on that? 📺

User3: I heard they might have shuffled some scheduling! They’re trying to bring in more variety to compete better.

User2: Hmm, I’d say "Neighbors" has been a long-standing favorite, but with the new look, maybe they're hoping to push something fresh into the spotlight! 🌟

Also Paramount Comedy recently got a new look

Whimsical Overhaul for Paramount Comedy Channel: A New Era Begins September 19, 2005

August 22, 2005 — London

In a delightful twist that promises to inject some humor into your television viewing experience, the Paramount Comedy Channel is set to embark on a fresh journey. As of September 19, 2005, the channel will drop “Channel” from its name, transforming into simply “Paramount Comedy.” Alongside this rebranding, viewers can expect a whimsical new look, thanks to the innovative animation talents of London-based studio 12Foot6.

Established in 1999 by the creative duo Dave Anderson and Tom Mortimer, 12Foot6 is renowned for its unique blend of 2D and stop-motion animation. The team of around twenty animators, illustrators, and designers draws inspiration from their vibrant London surroundings, celebrating the humor and eccentricities of urban life. Known for their distinctively comical approach, 12Foot6 has previously collaborated on projects like the BAFTA-nominated series The Sensibles and the quirky Dog Judo.

The rebranding of Paramount Comedy promises to introduce a slew of animated antics, including a host of endearing and bizarre characters like animated black rabbits with pink eyes, medieval characters worshipping the logo, and even a dolphin on a skateboard! Promotional endboards will feature a uniquely whimsical character, affectionately dubbed the "weird cat thing,” who will entertain viewers while delivering previews for upcoming shows. This character is a animated cat with a TV instead of a face.

This fresh visual identity is just one piece of a broader initiative by Viacom to revamp not only Paramount Comedy but also seven other channels in the UK. As viewers tune in, they will discover a renewed commitment to showcasing comedic content that reflects both the clever artistry and humorous narratives that have defined Paramount Comedy's ethos.

In a statement, Anderson and Mortimer expressed their excitement about this new adventure, saying, “We’re thrilled to bring our quirky sense of humor to Paramount Comedy. Expect the unexpected as we infuse the channel with our imagination and creativity!”

As September 19 approaches, fans of comedy can look forward to a launch that promises to be as amusing as it is engaging. The rebranding marks an exciting chapter in Paramount Comedy’s history, solidifying its commitment to delivering uproarious entertainment to audiences across the UK.

So, mark your calendars, and get ready for Paramount Comedy’s whimsical transformation—your favorite comedies are about to get a delightful makeover!
Alongside Paramount Comedy, 7 other Viacom-owned channels in the UK are set for a rebrand soon! Stay tuned for fresh looks from MTV, Nickelodeon, TMF, BET, VH1, Five, and Spike! Let the whimsy begin! 🌟 #ViacomRebrand #NewLooks #StayTuned

News Article: Five Unveils New Emotion-Themed Idents as Part of Upcoming Rebrand

London, January 20, 2006 — In an exciting announcement ahead of its highly anticipated rebranding, Five has revealed a fresh set of idents set to debut on Monday, January 23, at 10 PM. The new idents, each themed around various emotions, aim to connect with viewers on a deeper level, bringing an innovative shift to the channel's visual identity.

Rather than featuring the classic logo, the idents will showcase emotive words such as "Fast," "Fear," "Free," and "Hope," creatively depicted in striking scenarios. This refresh comes just in time as Five gears up for the launch of three new Viacom channels on Freeview: Nickelodeon, MTV Hits, and Paramount Comedy, reinforcing the channel's commitment to enhancing viewer engagement.

The emotive themes introduced in the idents include:

Fast: A thrilling pursuit unfolds as greyhound dogs race after the word "Fast" along a vibrant track, capturing the essence of speed and excitement.
Fear: The haunting ambiance of a long corridor emerges as someone opens a door, with the word "Fear" eerily formed by a collection of spirits, invoking a sense of suspense.
Free: In a serene blue sky, numerous white balloons are released, creating a whimsical and uplifting moment as they spell out "Free," representing liberation and joy.
Hope: The scene shifts to a bustling casino where a player throws two dice, ultimately landing on the word "Hope," while vibrant casino chips signal the promise of chance and opportunity.
Life: A sweeping view reveals a horizon as lights switch on, reflecting the concept of "Life" coming alive through illumination.
Live: A dramatic weather scene unfolds as lightning strikes from the sky, generating the word "Live" in a bold flash of energy, symbolizing dynamic experiences.
Rush: An adrenaline-pumping visual of a skydiver plummeting towards the earth introduces the word "Rush," encapsulating the thrill of adventure.
Easy: A gentle zoom out reveals a peaceful park scene where a ladybird serves as a conduit to showcase "Easy," portraying relaxation and comfort.
Feel: In a warm family setting, a car drives through picturesque countryside, with the word "Feel" appearing amid the clouds, conveying warmth and connection.
Play: A fun-filled pool scene comes to life as someone dives in, while others are playfully pushed off an inflatable, showcasing the spontaneous joy of "Play."
Risk: An energetic display of a person on a bucking horse captures the spirit of "Risk," reminding viewers of the excitement of stepping into the unknown.
The new idents are just one of many rebrands that Viacom's UK channels have undergone over the past year, reflecting their strategic initiative to modernize and elevate their brand presence within a competitive market. This comprehensive rebranding effort aims not only to draw in new viewers but also to resonate with existing audiences, showcasing an array of emotions that viewers can relate to.

As January 23 approaches, it is clear that Five is making significant strides in engaging its audience through creative expression. The channel's new identities promise to enhance the viewer experience and set the stage for what’s to come with the release of Nickelodeon, MTV Hits, and Paramount Comedy on Freeview. Stay tuned for a fresh wave of content and an exciting visual journey that is bound to capture hearts and imaginations alike.

User1:
Subject: Why Rebrand on the 23rd?

Hey everyone!

I’ve been thinking about Five's rebranding with the new emotion-themed idents debuting on January 23rd. It’s really bold of them to drop the classic logo at the start! They could have easily included it, but I guess they’re feeling very brave with this decision. What do you all think? Why choose that specific date for the rebrand?

User2:
Subject: Re: Why Rebrand on the 23rd?

Hey User1!

You’re right, it’s definitely a bold move to go all out with a new identity instead of incorporating the familiar logo. I think they may be aiming for a complete refresh, especially with the launch of Nickelodeon, MTV Hits, and Paramount Comedy on Freeview on the same day. It’s like they're trying to create a whole new vibe for the channel!

User3:
Subject: Re: Why Rebrand on the 23rd?

Absolutely! The timing seems strategic. By launching the new idents alongside the debut of the three Viacom channels, Five can really capture viewer attention and potentially attract a larger audience. It’s a chance to signal change and excitement all at once!

User1:
Subject: Re: Why Rebrand on the 23rd?

That’s a great point! They’re trying to grab viewers' attention during a significant change in their lineup. But I’m curious why they decided to go with this specific date. Is there something special about January 23rd that we don’t know about?

User2:
Subject: Re: Why Rebrand on the 23rd?

Hmm, I wonder if they wanted to create a strong association between the new idents and the launch of the new Viacom channels. It could be a way to ensure that viewers remember this date as a fresh start for Five and its programming. It’s like they’re setting the stage for a broader narrative!

User3:
Subject: Re: Why Rebrand on the 23rd?

That makes sense! Plus, aligning it with a simultaneous channel launch gives them a greater marketing impact. It’s like hitting two birds with one stone—maximizing exposure for both the rebrand and the new channels. They want everyone to take notice and tune in!

User1:
Subject: Re: Why Rebrand on the 23rd?

User2:
Subject: Re: Why Rebrand on the 23rd?

For sure! I can’t wait to see how it all unfolds next week. With all the buzz and the fresh identity, I think they might just succeed in capturing the audience’s attention. Here’s to hoping for a successful launch!

Hey folks,

Sorry for jumping in here, but I thought I’d sign up to put forward the possibility that perhaps Five’s owners, Viacom, are diluting the brand in preparation for a name change? It seems rather odd that they would do away with the logo entirely for the new idents. I wouldn’t be surprised if in a few months we suddenly see a CBS logo styled in the font of Five appear. Just a thought!

User2:
Subject: Re: Possibility of a Name Change for Five?

Hey User4,

I get where you’re coming from, but I think that’s a bit far-fetched. While they are introducing new idents, the Five logo is still very much present. If you look closely, it appears as a screenbug on the corner during shows and on their promotional materials. They’re not trying to erase the brand; instead, they’re enhancing it!

User3:
Subject: Re: Possibility of a Name Change for Five?

Exactly, User2! The Five logo being used as a screenbug shows they’re still proud of the brand. This rebranding seems more like a creative refresh rather than a prelude to a name change. They’re just exploring new ways to engage viewers and keep the content feeling fresh while still retaining that brand recognition.

User4:
Subject: Re: Possibility of a Name Change for Five?

You both have valid points! I just think it’s interesting how they’re handling the visual identity right now. It’s a big shift, and shifts like these can sometimes lead to bigger changes down the line. But I do appreciate the clarification about the logo still being around in other forms!

User2:
Subject: Re: Possibility of a Name Change for Five?

No worries, User4! It’s always good to consider different perspectives. I just feel that given their investment in promoting Five alongside the new Viacom channels, a name change seems unlikely for now. Let’s see how it all pans out after the launch!

I heard it’ll be going head-to-head with intense dramas like CSI, CSI: Miami, House, Grey’s Anatomy, Breaking Bad, and CSI: NY.

Yes, I’ve noticed those promos! It’s a clever campaign to build interest and suspense around the shows. The tagline “This much I know” really draws you in and makes you curious about what’s happening in each episode. It’s great marketing on Five’s part!

I’m especially excited for Prison Break! It’s created quite a buzz and has been praised for its fast-paced storytelling. It’ll be interesting to see how it competes against heavyweights like House and Grey’s Anatomy, which have loyal followings.

Absolutely! Monday nights just got a major upgrade! When you think about it, airing Prison Break alongside these other powerhouses is a bold move. I can totally see it attracting viewers who are already invested in those other series.

Hey everyone!

I agree with you all! Monday nights are going to be a drama lover's paradise. Those promos with the phrase “This much I know” create a sense of mystery that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats!

As for Prison Break, I think it has the potential to really stand out, especially if they keep up the promotional momentum. It’s going to be interesting to see how audience ratings shift once the show begins airing. Do you all think Prison Break can hold its own against such strong competition?

User1:

Great question, User4! I think it definitely can! If the early reports and buzz around the show hold true, there’s a solid chance that Prison Break can carve out its own space in that prime-time slot. Plus, with the ongoing intrigue from its premise, I bet many viewers will turn into loyal fans.
