* ''Tralfagar Square'': We see some pigeons flying onto and walking on a large Channel 4 logo on a plinth.

* ''Bowls'': We see a group of people playing lawn bowls outside as hedges in the shape of the Channel 4 logo parts fly around. Most of them don't notice, but one elderly lady on a bench turns around to see the sights in front of her.

Trivia: ''The Simpsons'' Homer ident was a unique animation commissioned by Channel 4 and produced by Gracie Films. The animation from this ident was worked into the couch gag for the season 25 episode 'Specs and the City' with some alterations (rather than the original hammock scene, Homer is watching the Super Bowl and discovers that Bart threw the pack of Duff onto the power lines outside, leading into the animation from the ident), and whilst the lighting effects during the power outage scene are altered to remove the giant 4 logo, it can still be clearly seen in the street outlines if you look closely enough. After the 2015 rebrand, this episode is now the only way to see said ident broadcast on TV. | Trivia: ''The Simpsons'' Homer ident was a unique animation commissioned by Channel 4 and produced by Gracie Films.
