'''Accompanying clock ident:''' The hours are represented by white bars for each hour, with the second, minute, and hour hands being yellow, red, and blue respectively. A flat 2D version of the Channel 4 logo can be seen in the top right corner of the screen. Starting in 1993, the clock was given a hazy grey ring around the hour hands, and the logo is pushed further into the corner as well. In the Christmas of 1983 and 1985, the clock is superimposed on the backgrounds of the programming menus. This clock as a whole was used from 1982-1995, but also reappeared on January 22, 2021 for ''It's A Sin''.

* November 1992-October 1996: A new fanfare was introduced, based on the original one. It would feature various reprises of the same basic tune, usually accompanied by four chimes. This version was brought in to replace the original jingle, as it was costing the channel too much to keep in use - David Dundas was paid £3.50 every time the original jingle was used, amounting in him earning around £1000 a week.
