5STAR

For Christmas 2008 Five's sister channel Fiver, saw a series of snowy scenes dotted with their usual coloured cursor.

2009 from Fiver saw a pres package based upon the 2008 look, with coloured lights.

Getting a good channel number on the various EPGs is always a hard and hideously expensive task. So Channel 5 decide to take a different angle here, and encourage you to just add their digital offshoot Fiver (as it was then) to your favourites rather than mess around with remembering platform numbers.

As part of the overall rebrand for the Channel 5 family in February 2016, new presentation was added to the channel and the name was tweaked again from 5* to 5STAR. Each ident features a scene with shapes projected in coloured light against various surfaces. A man playing some drums on the street features in this one.

In Autumn 2017, 3 additional idents were introduced to 5Star. Still following the 3 signature colours, however this time the live action sequences have been dropped in favour of solely graphical elements. These idents have subsequently been used during the daytime hours on the channel whilst the other 3 continued to be used during peak.
