'''Trivia:'''
* The ''Simpsons'' Homer ident was a unique animation commissioned by 4Creative, and was produced by [[Gracie Films]] and animated by [[Film Roman]] and Rough Draft Korea. 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 were altered to remove the giant 4 logo, it can still be clearly seen in the street outlines if one looks closely enough. After the 2015 rebrand, this episode is now the only way to see said ident broadcast on TV.
* The Rollercoaster variant was entirely filmed at Knott's Berry Farm in Buena Park, California.
* The Abbey ident was filmed at Bayham Old Abbey.
* During April Fool's Day 2011, all idents used on-screen were edited to remove the Channel 4 logo completely.
