Hopefully they have something special for 2023- thirty years of S4C. And over on Channel 4, thirty years of Channel 4. Anyways, these idents are really something special. I can see why they kept them for so long. The icon of the Welsh Dragon lends itself better to creativity than Channel 4's blocks, and the result is not only consistent but we'll themed. The jingle is very catchy- just like Channel 4's famous Fourscore, but they went as far as to actually time the jingle with the visuals, which helps really make whatever is imitating the dragon seem just that much more exciting or energetic. It's certainly a more creative ident pack for sure, and I wish more people knew of this set. It just has so much more energy than the iconic Channel 4 idents from the same period, and I hope one day we can get more clean high quality copies uploaded. Yet another amazing work of the late Lambie-Nairn. Mind you though, I'm an American so my opinion probably doesn't matter lmao
The closest languages to Welsh would be Cornish and Breton as they all share the same root. They all are Celtic languages, but Brythonic Celtic languages, whereas Manx, Irish (Gaeilge) and Scottish Gaelic (Gàidhig) are all Goidelic Celtic languages. We also take words from Latin such as "ffenestr" and that comes from the Latin word "fenestra" meaning window and "lladron" being similar to the Spanish word for thief -- "ladron" which in turn came from the Latin word "latrōn".
9:53 What's with that ITV style ident? And what does MAWR mean in the Welsh language? Because as per the info on the internet, ITV has no service or station in the Welsh language. Teledu Cymru and HTV Cymru Wales have long exited after the reorganisation of ITV.

40 years surely?
@@MatgoStyles Yep, it will be the 40th anniversary of S4C's first broadcast on November 1st, 1982. Only 17 days to go! 😁
@@LTYTB2004They didn't bring these back at all in November.
Awesome idents, really representing the dragon well.
I used to play with my scissors and pretend it was a dragon...now I remember why
A Good One
I Used To Do It Too.

I remember seeing the one at 5:55 before an episode of The Simpsons once.
I would very much like to see the others resurface online one day. :)
😀😄🙂
I bet those living objects were the mascots and producers of the channel.
I can’t believe that it took that long to find some welsh
I think that the jingle used in these idents is S4C. Now how could that be? That’s only 3 syllables? It’s the welsh pronunciation, S pedwar ek.

What's your favorite S4C dragon ident featured here? Also do you remember seeing any of the lost idents featured in the end of this video?
The bin and sleeping scissors for me. But they're all good.
The iron one and the scissors
Gas Pump Dragon and trumbome
Rather partial to the stapler, pencil and the computer mouse myself!
9:59 that ident is found
Welsh sounds like a combination of English and some other foreign languages

I know it's about a month too late but "Mawr" means "big" so the whole thing would translate as "Big One".
Must be a parody.
More wales rebraning to show the dragon asobiects or peopel
How I Pounce. 4:12
Roeddwn i'n gwybod bod S4C ar gyfer hynny?
