== Branding == When the channel launched, the logo was very similar in style to the ITV logo at the time. The channel received a complete overhaul along with the other ITV channels in 2006, giving the channel a new lime green logo. The channel also received six new [[Station identification|idents]] which all had names beginning with "Too" to relate to the 2 in the channel's name. They were called; "Too Fast", "Too Hot", "Too Cold, "Too Expensive", "Too Glamorous" and "Too Loud". Each of the idents were made up of a mix of shades of green to match the channel's logo. In 2008, the channel received another new look. The green logo was kept but made 3D. During [[Newcastle United F.C.|Newcastle United]]'s run in the [[2004β05 UEFA Cup]], the channel was rebranded as '''ITV Toon''' on matchdays, referring to the club's nickname ''the Toon''. The channel's yellow and blue idents changed to black and white, to match the club's colours.<ref>{{cite news | title = ITV grabs Northern Rock for Newcastle Uefa matches | publisher = MediaWeek | date = 2 November 2004 | url = http://www.mediaweek.co.uk/news/514096/ | access-date = 1 April 2012}}</ref> In line with the corporate rebranding of ITV, ITV2 received a new look on 14 January 2013.
