The logo animated to a jingle based on the local folk tune <i>The Mountains of Mourne</i>. According to UTV's website, the original logo was designed as part of a competition, and the winner among over 450 entrants was Mr Roy Irwin of Ballycarry.</li> <li><b>1970</b> – With the imminent launch of UHF colour broadcasts, Ulster Television redesigned its first logo – the oscilloscope pattern was retained; but the dots were removed, and the lines were encased in a television-screen shape. Monochrome and colour versions of this ident were produced, the colour using a yellow logo and text on a blue background, which were adopted as the station's colour scheme. UTV's ident at this time did not animate and was not accompanied by a jingle. The logo type introduced on this ident was retained until 1993.</li> <li><b>1980</b> – To celebrate their 21st anniversary, UTV commissioned a new ident featuring a model of the station logo embedded on four faces of a cube, coated in silver with a pole skewering the top and bottom of the cube. This model was then filmed on video with a black cloth background as it revolved on a turntable. When it appeared on screen, it was accompanied by a synthesised jingle, and the words "Ulster Television" wiped on screen in yellow text. This ident made its on-screen debut on Halloween Day 1980, and it was used until New Year's Eve 1988.</li> <li><b>1987</b> – On 7 September 1987, to coincide with the launch of the station's new evening magazine programme, <i>Six Tonight</i>, a new ident was used to introduce the programme, featuring a computer-animated silver station logo on a blue/green backdrop. After five seconds, the logo faded into the background as the titles of <i>Six Tonight</i> began. This ident, UTV's first attempt at a CGI ident, was later adapted as a temporary station ident in the last few months of 1988, with a video freeze used as the logo sank into the background.</li> <li><b>1989</b> – On New Year's Day 1989 a revised <a href="/wiki/Computer_animation" title="Computer animation">computer animation</a> was introduced and the last to feature the oscilloscope logo and the "Ulster Television" name.<sup id="cite_ref-82" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-82"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>80<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The ident began with a panning shot over a huge plate with texture to make it look like frost or ice (possibly a white and gray cloudy texture), against a light blue background. Then, an oscilloscope rises out from the plate, and the lines of the oscilloscope pattern are formed with a wipe. In this ident, the lines of the oscilloscope are yellow, with the rest of the logo (the television screen shape) in blue. When the lines are formed, the logo turns and reveals on screen, as a grey banner flies in underneath bearing the words "Ulster Television" and settles underneath the station logo, waving like a flag. This ident was accompanied by a new jingle, and was used until 4 June 1993.</li></ul> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:UTV_logo_(1993-2001).svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/8/87/UTV_logo_%281993-2001%29.svg/170px-UTV_logo_%281993-2001%29.svg.png" decoding="async" width="170" height="118" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/8/87/UTV_logo_%281993-2001%29.svg/255px-UTV_logo_%281993-2001%29.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/8/87/UTV_logo_%281993-2001%29.svg/340px-UTV_logo_%281993-2001%29.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="379" data-file-height="264" /></a><figcaption>UTV's logo used from 4 June 1993 to 10 December 2000.</figcaption></figure> <ul><li><b>1993</b> – At 6pm on 4 June 1993, UTV officially unveiled a new logo. This consisted of an italicised <a href="/wiki/Times_Roman" class="mw-redirect" title="Times Roman">Times Roman</a> capital U forming on screen from different component parts, settling on a blue and yellow plate with "TV" written in italicised red Agency FB Font text. A new jingle was also introduced with a distinct Celtic sound. Since the start of 1993, continuity announcements and trailers referred increasingly to "UTV", and the station's news service was rebranded as <a href="/wiki/UTV_Live" title="UTV Live">UTV Live</a>. With the new logo, the use of "Ulster Television" to identify the station was consigned to history. It also dropped ITV network promotions and introduced locally produced trails.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

This collection of idents were the first to be created and transmitted in 16:9 aspect ratio, on <a href="/wiki/Digital_terrestrial" class="mw-redirect" title="Digital terrestrial">digital terrestrial</a> and <a href="/wiki/Digital_cable" title="Digital cable">digital cable</a> providers. This was the last set of idents which used the 1993 logo, and they were phased out shortly before Christmas 2000, when a new logo was introduced.</li> <li><b>2001</b> – The 1993 logo was later replaced with a similar flatter and wider logo. The "U" is rendered in yellow on a blue oblong, with the "TV" in red on a yellow oblong contained inside the blue oblong. Its first use was in UTV's 2000 Christmas ident, replacing the previous set. On 6 January 2001, a new series of idents shot at various locations across Northern Ireland, including the <a href="/wiki/Silent_Valley_Reservoir" title="Silent Valley Reservoir">Silent Valley Reservoir</a> in County Down, Great Victoria Street in Belfast and the <i>Hands Across the Divide</i> sculpture at the <a href="/wiki/Craigavon_Bridge" title="Craigavon Bridge">Craigavon Bridge</a>, Derry. This was complemented by further idents in 2002 featuring people walking towards the camera and touching the screen with their fingers to make the UTV logo appear.</li> <li><b>2002</b> – On 28 October 2002, most of the regional ITV companies adopted a common look with the ITV1 brand replacing the various station logos. This was marked with a series of idents showing actors, presenters and newsreaders associated with ITV appearing in idents. At the same time, UTV decided to adopt these idents, but replaced the ITV logo with their own station logo. The soundtrack used on these idents was identical to those heard on the ITV network versions. This is the nearest that UTV had come to using identical idents to the rest of the ITV network. Around Christmas 2002, UTV broadcast a similar collection of idents showcasing their own presenting talent, shown in addition to the national idents. By early 2003, the network and local celebrity idents were phased out, and a generic ident showing the UTV logo on an animated blue background was used in all junctions.</li> <li><b>2003</b> – UTV replaces its network-inspired graphics on 20 November 2003 with a series landscape films of Northern Ireland in their idents, in the form of a <a href="/wiki/Panorama" title="Panorama">panorama</a> shot as the camera revolved around a location.<sup id="cite_ref-83" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-83"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>81<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Among the scenes used in this series of UTV idents included the <a href="/wiki/Mourne_Mountains" title="Mourne Mountains">Mourne Mountains</a>, <a href="/wiki/Enniskillen" title="Enniskillen">Enniskillen</a> and <a href="/wiki/Lurgan" title="Lurgan">Lurgan</a> Park.<sup id="cite_ref-84" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-84"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>82<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> These idents primarily used one of the ident jingles until 3 November 2005, when UTV reprised its 1993–2002 station jingle.<sup id="cite_ref-85" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-85"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>83<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li><b>2006</b> – To coincide with the introduction of a new identity across ITV plc stations on Monday 16 January 2006, UTV replaced its 2003 idents with a brand new set.<sup id="cite_ref-utvtoday.co.uk_86-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-utvtoday.co.uk-86"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>84<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The new idents featured newly recorded films shot across Northern Ireland, again in the form of panoramas.<sup id="cite_ref-utvtoday.co.uk_86-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-utvtoday.co.uk-86"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>84<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The landscape films used in these idents were updated in July 2007 and October 2008,<sup id="cite_ref-87" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-87"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>85<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> with the background of each ident changing from black to white in December 2008.<sup id="cite_ref-88" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-88"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>86<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Special variations of the UTV idents were used to promote the 2006 North West 200 event,<sup id="cite_ref-ReferenceA_89-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ReferenceA-89"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>87<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> 2006 Special Olympics,<sup id="cite_ref-ReferenceA_89-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ReferenceA-89"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>87<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> the 2007 Rugby World Cup<sup id="cite_ref-90" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-90"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>88<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and the <i>UTV Rewind</i> series.<sup id="cite_ref-91" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-91"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>89<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li><b>2016</b> – On 17 October 2016, a brand new look was unveiled, aligning the UTV brand more closely with that of the <a href="/wiki/ITV_(TV_channel)" class="mw-redirect" title="ITV (TV channel)">ITV channel</a>.

UTV's best-known theme was <i>The Antrim Road</i>, a classical symphony composed by Wayne Hill and Earl Ward, which was used between 1971 and 1983. It originally featured on <i>The British Isles</i>, an LP of orchestral arrangements of traditional and characteristic national tunes of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. The album was released on the De Wolf label in 1971. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="HD_and_timeshift">HD and timeshift</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=UTV_(TV_channel)&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: HD and timeshift"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="ITV1_HD_(UTV_region)"><span id="ITV1_HD_.28UTV_region.29"></span>ITV1 HD (UTV region)</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=UTV_(TV_channel)&action=edit&section=16" title="Edit section: ITV1 HD (UTV region)"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>ITV's service for the UTV region is available in HD – like most other ITV regions – but UTV was one of the first stations in the ITV network to offer a full HD simulcast in its days as an independent company. </p><p><b>UTV HD</b>, a <a href="/wiki/Simulcast" title="Simulcast">simulcast</a> of UTV in <a href="/wiki/High-definition_television" title="High-definition television">high-definition</a>, was launched on <a href="/wiki/Virgin_Media" title="Virgin Media">Virgin Media</a> on 5 October 2010.<sup id="cite_ref-96" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-96"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>94<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It became available on <a href="/wiki/Freeview_(UK)" title="Freeview (UK)">Freeview</a> when the <a href="/wiki/Digital_television_transition" title="Digital television transition">digital switchover</a> took place on 24 October 2012 and on <a href="/wiki/Sky_(United_Kingdom)" class="mw-redirect" title="Sky (United Kingdom)">Sky</a> and <a href="/wiki/Freesat" title="Freesat">Freesat</a> on 4 November 2013.<sup id="cite_ref-97" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-97"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>95<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-98" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-98"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>96<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>For the first few months, the only true HD content came from the ITV network but after an upgrade local material including adverts started to be played out in HD. </p><p>In May 2011, the presentation infrastructure was upgraded to become fully HD-capable in readiness for the digital switchover in 2012. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="ITV1_+1_(Services_offered_in_Northern_Ireland)"><span id="ITV1_.2B1_.28Services_offered_in_Northern_Ireland.29"></span>ITV1 +1 (Services offered in Northern Ireland)</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=UTV_(TV_channel)&action=edit&section=17" title="Edit section: ITV1 +1 (Services offered in Northern Ireland)"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>A delayed version of the full ITV1 service for the UTV region is available on Freeview and Virgin Media. </p><p>The timeshift service – branded UTV+1 before the station adopted ITV branding in 2020 – launched at 8pm on 11 January 2011 on Freeview and <a href="/wiki/Virgin_Media" title="Virgin Media">Virgin Media</a>.
