Not just that it was to promote the 80s-era drama It’s a Sin, it can be also seen as a fitting tribute to the recently late Lambie-Nairn, who designed the original logo and idents.
The moment 'It's A Sin' ended, the moment Channel 4 went back to their old idents. Oh well, at least there's a rendition of Fourscore in them. The 80s isn't completely gone I see.
Throughout that part at the beginning of the video for Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares... I love how even the announcer was just preparing for it because... well, it's Gordon Ramsay

I like the continuity announcer towards the end, who talks in a similar manner to announcers back in the 70's-early 90's. The trailers for It's a Sin were even formatted in the style of an 80's tv show promo, complete with vintage fonts and an era-appropriate sounding announcer. The immersion does breaks a bit in the flying logo idents when the continuity announcer starts talking as the logo is still being formed, when in the real 80's ident, the announcer would only start talking after the logo has already formed. The sudden lowering of the volume in the middle of the fanfare doesn't help.

And it was.
This definitely felt like proper Channel 4. The broadcast of the original 4 idents and the announcers.

Well we may see the return of the Colour 4 80's Style logo on Channel 4 40th Birthday November 2022. Only more year.
@@scottpeacock5492 Being the 40th anniversary, chances are that Channel 4 will probably do something bigger around and during that time!

Same!
They should do this again on 2nd November, 2022 when Channel 4 celebrates it's 40th anniversary.
And they made f**k all effort on the day.
Love the promo at 12:20 with the slight low quality 80’s video tape effects

didn't really watch C4 that much on this day but now I wish I did lol
All the all idents on 2021 should add into the Every Ident on the Same Day
the last one to air before the retro idents make a lot of sense: the giant metal 4 thing collapsed; henceforth, we wont see it for a bit.

Love the slightly wonky perspective on the 'video-hand' ident!
11:11 The Simpsons on Channel 4
Premiered in the USA as a series on December 17th 1989
Started showing on Channel 4 on November 5th 2004
Maybe they should reuse these more often.
10:40 The only time of that day not to announce It’s a Sin
How much of a scream do you think it'd have been had the actual show itself been in 4:3 with 80s look?
Not gonna lie, that would have been so cool!
@Stephen Garcia you obviously didn't read my comment properly then.
@Stephen Lindsay Not to mention it began in the 50s and went through the 60s and 70s too!
Lambie-Narin also created the BBC logo

Do you have a recording of the 80s style promo of the show since it seems like C4 won’t be uploading it to its UA-cam channel anytime soon?
The promo is at 12:20
I noticed that the 'Fourscore' ident was played 4 times throughout that day.
I hope everyone got the subtle hints that there was a new drama starting that day? What was it called again? 🤔😉
That thumbnail is the 1980s one isn’t it?
@superlegendary Do you like those 1982 idents?
Friday 22nd January 2021
