In this one, the blocks, all colored yellow, keep moving towards different parts of the screen, along with a pair of circular shapes resembling eyes with small black pupils. Although new idents were introduced in late 2017, this version is still used in one way or another, either still being used before an episode, or as a bumper between episodes. | ||

'''Editor's Note:''' During this time and late 2017, the new main idents, bordering on the surreal, no longer featured the full 4 logo, and it didn't feature on the channel outside of print adverts in magazines and the Channel 4 News. Around the middle of 2017, program adverts and break bumpers were reworked to have the 4 logo visible for around a second in one form or another. The actual idents themselves are some of the strangest, showing the blocks as gemstones and no sign of the logo. This is probably why they ditched them after over 2 years, making it the shortest lived graphics package in Channel 4 history. | '''Editor's Note:''' During this time and late 2017, the new main idents, bordering on the surreal, no longer featured the full 4 logo, and it didn't feature on the channel outside of print adverts in magazines and the Channel 4 News.

* Another version features the construct walking up a mountain path that overlooks a distant town. It stands out on one of the peaks, facing the town, and blares the Fourscore, the sound and force of it causing havoc in the town, knocking a cyclist off their bike, causing animals to cry out, making a couple put on protective headsets, and a group of schoolchildren trying to stand against the force of the blast. The construct eventually stops, chuckles, and it cuts back to the kids toppling over in unison. | * Another version features the construct walking up a mountain path that overlooks a distant town.

*Another variant features the construct playing in the middle of a street with a group of kids, kicking a football around. After a while, the construct kicks the ball wide, which ends up breaking the window of a nearby house. The angry occupant shouts at the group, giving chase as they all run away, the construct quickly playing the Fourscore tune. | *Another variant features the construct playing in the middle of a street with a group of kids, kicking a football around.

It emerges from the water as it approaches the white cliffs of Dover, allowing the people to dismount from it atop the cliffs. Once they are off, it walks back towards the sea, turning around to wave at the group as it blares the Fourscore. | ||
'''Trivia:''' These idents were filmed in Liverpool, the Peak District and the White Cliffs of Dover. | '''Trivia:''' These idents were filmed in Liverpool, the Peak District and the White Cliffs of Dover. |
