Channel 5 launched a new look on 4th March 2002 in an attempt to get a more sophisticated look. The Channel brought in a raft of new onscreen idents, to �refresh� the look of the channel. The broadcaster said the new idents would continue to evolve throughout the year.

A daytime, peak time and a movie treatment will be introduced, along with a new one for documentaries and factual shows. The new idents were given the go-ahead by Channel 5�s new director of marketing and communications, David Pullen, who joined the broadcaster this week from MTV.

A Channel 5 spokesman said: �The new idents reflect the evolving nature and maturing content of the channel. The Channel 5 creative department has refreshed the core brand elements to produce a smarter and more sophisticated on-air look.�
