Identsed
Identsed refers to a specific type of television station identification. It is a short, often animated or graphical sequence that a broadcast television station airs to identify itself to viewers. These idented sequences typically include the station's logo, call sign, and sometimes a slogan or brief musical jingle. The purpose of an idented is to reinforce brand recognition and ensure viewers know which channel they are watching. They are usually broadcast before programming begins, after commercial breaks, and at other strategic points in the broadcast schedule. The style and content of idented can vary greatly depending on the station's target audience and branding strategy, ranging from simple text-based displays to elaborate cinematic productions. In the digital age, idented often incorporate elements that are optimized for display on high-definition and digital television screens.
