Disney Channel Rebrand: New idents: Three symmetrically round objects form the Mickey Mouse head shape. The text “Disney Channel” then fades in below. Idents are inspired by the concept of the Hidden Mickey, a easter egg Disney likes to put in its movies and theme parks

Idents:
Spinning Top: A purple top spins around the floor while two green yo-yo’s fall from above; the yo-yo’s strings then get caught by the top and cause the yo-yo’s to spin rapidly then settle next to the top, forming the logo.
Discoball: Seven disco lights flash on screen in time with the music, transitioning to two lights and a disco ball forming the logo.
Computer: There is a computer with several programs running; the disc drive then opens to show three optical discs (two yellow and one blue) forming the logo.
Laboratory: A Rube Goldberg machine set in a laboratory carries two green slime blobs to a purple plasma sphere, forming the logo.
Clouds: A blue sphere travels through a pixelated sky environment, then it zooms out to the centre of a blue background as two small clouds grow above the sphere, forming the logo.
Chrome Blob: On a silver steel surface, various metal blobs merge together to form the logo, which is made out of two silver blobs and one blue blob.
Basketball: Four stopwatches play basketball in an indoor court; one of the stopwatches then shoots the ball towards a hoop and onto two smaller stopwatches, forming the logo.
Paint Blob: A red blob and a yellow blob shape-shift and interact. The yellow blob then jumps on the red blob, causing it to split into two. Finally, the yellow blob jumps to the two red blobs, forming the logo.
Soccer: In a stadium, a soccer ball is seen being thrown around; the ball then hits the frame of a goal and crashes onto an electronic score board with two zeroes displayed, forming the logo.
Ice Cream Float: A scoop of vanilla ice cream is dropped onto a pool of coloured soda; the scoop then floats back up to the surface along with two bubbles, forming the logo.
Microscope: A cluster of pink and yellow amoeba is seen under a microscope. The lens zooms in on a pink cell and two yellow cells forming the logo.
Purple Blob: A purple blob is seen on a green background. The blob stretches and retracts back to the centre, causing two yellow blobs to pop in above, forming the logo.
Sun Cooler: A sun is seen warming the other planets in space; an electric fan then turns on and blows air towards the sun. Another fan joins the first fan as they settle around the sun and form the logo.
Video Game: In a racing video game setting, two futuristic space pods travel around the landscape and towards a finish line; upon finishing, the two pods receive a gold medal, which forms the logo.
UFO: A space station drops two UFO’s, which glide around space until they land on a green planet below, forming the logo.
Raindrops: On a glass window with an outside view, three raindrops fall down on the window to form the logo; the two smaller circles reflect a pink flower.
Bathtub: A red straw rises above the water in a bathtub, which then blows three bubbles that form the logo.
Picnic: A picnic is seen being set up on a checkered blanket; an apple then falls onto the picnic, tumbling the plates and utensils. Two apples and a yellow plate then roll onto the grass and form the logo.
Chess: There is a chess board where the pieces interact with each other; two black pawns then move towards the white king, forming the logo.
Peacock: A peacock is seen, which then fans its tailfeathers that contain the logo.
Moon: In a forest at night, comets fall and strike several clouds, causing them to create two round clouds on top of the moon and form the logo.
Dog Food: An overhead view of a house is seen, where an invisible dog follows a trail of dog snacks; the dog eventually goes into a yellow room and knocks three dog food bowls, which form the logo.
Olives: A panning shot of a picnic table is seen, where various foods are picked up. The camera then focuses on a plate with two green olives and a black olive forming the logo.
Turnips: Two turnips grow underneath a patch of soil; the turnips and the resulting tangle of roots form the logo.
Spotlights: There is a view of a theatre stage with a red curtain; three spotlights (two orange and one white) then move around the curtain until they settle to the centre and form the logo.
Amoeba: A yellow blob interacts with two green blobs then forms the logo.
Marching Band: A group of circles perform a short band routine; a blue circle (representing a bass drum) and two yellow circles (representing cymbals) form the logo.
Balloon: Two orange circles bungee-jump around a blue circle then form the logo.
Bumper Cars: Two multicoloured circles collide with each other and around the screen; a larger multicoloured circle travels towards the other two and forms the logo.

Paint: A red paint circle is drawn in the centre of the screen, a yellow circle and a blue circle play around the red circle then merge to create two green circles, forming the logo.
Jumping: Two purple scribbled rounds jump on the screen; a blue scribbled round then joins the two and forms the logo.
Birds: An orange circle (representing a mother bird) interacts with two yellow circles (representing baby chicks) and form the logo.
Snow Slope: Two blue circles push a red circle (representing a sled) atop a snowy slope; the circles then slide down the slope and form the logo.
Squeeze: A purple circle falls and lands onto a blue circle; another blue circle attempts to push the purple circle out of the way, eventually causing the circles to bounce and form the logo.
Space: Two blue circles, one of which has a cold, fly towards the sun and form the logo.
Strings: A ensemble is seen, with two yellow circles representing a flute and a bass and an orange circle representing a harp. The harp then breaks, and the other two circles fix it and form the logo.

Title: Disney Channel’s New “Hidden Mickey” Idents - Replacing EU “Scribble” Series?

User1: Hey everyone, did anyone else catch the sudden introduction of the new Disney Channel idents during the Chaotic rerun this morning at 5:30 am in Spain? This new series uses the concept of the Hidden Mickey to form the Disney Channel logo in creative ways.

User2: Yes, I saw that! It seems like a totally fresh concept following the “Scribble” series that was exclusive to the EU. Does anyone know if this is going to be a broader rollout across other regions too, or is it just for the EU again?

User3: The idents are super creative! I especially loved the one with the UFOs and the space station. But, I couldn’t help but notice that the promo endtags and next bumpers seem to be mimicking Disney+ style. Seems like Disney Channel is trying to unify their branding with the streaming platform. Anyone else think so?

User4: Definitely, the aesthetic is very similar to Disney+. I’m curious if they’re trying to make the channel’s look more consistent with Disney+ to maybe drive more viewers towards their streaming service?

User5: That’s a plausible theory. About the rollout, I haven’t seen any official announcements yet from Disney Channel’s PR. It was pretty abrupt how they introduced it here in Spain without any prior teasers or promotions.

User6: Abrupt indeed. For a massive transition from the “Scribble” idents which had a more playful and informal vibe, these new idents seem a bit more sophisticated. I wonder how the audience, especially the younger viewers, will take to this change.

User7: I’m just hoping they keep the creativity coming with these idents. The Hidden Mickey concept is classic Disney but feels fresh with these interpretations. Has anyone seen other idents than the one during the rerun?

User8: I caught a few others on the early morning slot. They feature various scenarios like a paint blob, basketball, and even a microscope shot clustering as Mickey heads. It’s pretty engaging to try and spot how they’ll form the logo next.

User9: Hopefully, Disney Channel provides some clarity soon about this rebrand and its scope. Also, it would be nice to get some behind-the-scenes on how they developed these idents - they’re quite imaginative!

User10: Agreed on the BTS content. Also, would be interesting to see if this change affects their programming in any way. Will keep an eye out for any announcements. Keep posting if you all come across more regions adopting these idents!
