Really

The 2017 ident package for Really focuses on some 'real life' people, each with their own story. The initial set launched in May 2017 with 4 people. This one features Eric, who survived a lightning strike in 2009. Idents come in both a shorter and longer version, the shorter versions usually being used without continuity during daytime, with the longer versions appearing in the evening. Short version featured here.

After the Discovery takeover of Really, playout initially continued to be handled to UKTV. This was switched over fully to Discovery's control around 21st November 2019, and at the same time all the people idents on the channel were dropped in favour of a single ident featuring a car window being smashed by rescue services.

Really received the refreshed matching promo style alongside the other Discovery-owned channels in April 2020 as the new owners continued to make their mark, and bring in more focus on their 'D-Play' platform. All other aspects of the channel's branding saw little change.

After 9 months of their single ident being used into all junctions, another ident for Really appeared around August 2020. This time featuring more of a spooky setting, primarily designed for use into the 'Most Haunted' style shows on the channel, although it can appear anywhere.

13 Nights of Frights returned to Really again for Halloween 2020. Whether as a result of the pandemic, or just as a result of Discovery's usual limited interest in pres for the channel, things were scaled back onscreen compared to previous years. Idents and breakbumpers continued in regular form, in the case of idents not even using their appropriate 'haunted' one for most junctions in favour of their normal 'rescue' version. With special presentation being kept to use on trailers and this very rarely used text-based sting,

Festive presentation for 2020 on Really consisted of refreshed trailers using a tag and wrapping paper style - a style which was applied in a similar manner across other Discovery-owned stations. Here a general seasonal promotion for Really, wishing viewers a Merry Christmas at the end.

After ringing in the New Year with their old idents, a few hours later on January 1st 2021 a new set of idents were introduced to Really, showing a promising sign of continued investment and love into the channel from Discovery Networks. Each of them features a collection of objects around a theme being attracted to the Really logo. Here, items with a coastal theme are attracted towards a logo sitting on the rocks. Scenes from these would also feature in break bumpers from January 1st.

In the second ident of the 2021 new look for Really, various tools such as screwdrivers and hardhats are attracted to the logo. Shown here from the first day of airing on January 1st 2021.
