Background

Trouble was a television channel which aired in the Ireland and UK and launched in 1997. The channel had a key demographic of young adults and teenagers aged at 13-39. The channel originally started as a block on Bravo that aired from noon to 8PM until evolving into a fully-fledged channel between the late 90's and early 00's, replacing The Children's Channel. The channel ceased transmission on 1st April of 2009, being replaced with a timeshare channel of Living.

1st Logo, Idents (1997-2001)

Visuals: Basically station IDs used by the channel, but the end result is the same.

ID 1: There is a couple running and seeing each other. Then the camera cuts to see even more people walking, then the male person of the couple kicks a can to the screen, which as the Trouble logo on it. The screen breaks, and the Trouble logo appears at the middle of the crack.
ID 2: There is a party with people and a DJ dancing. The camera zooms in and out 3 times while sonic waves appear. Then the screen cracks, with the Trouble logo appearing.
ID 3: There are many people in a swimming pool. A kid then throws water into the camera, and when the water hits it, it reveals the Trouble logo.

Technique: Live-action with a little of CGI.

Audio: IDs 1 and 2 used breakbeat music. ID 3 used a techno-like tune.

2nd Logo, Signoff (1997-2001)

Visuals: There is the Trouble logo from before, except it is on a black background and is changing colors frantically, but normally consists of the T being orange and the circle being purple. There are other lines and shapes moving around on the background. The logo has a "deteriorated film" effect throughout. This transitions into the Bravo logo.

Technique: 2D computer animation.

Audio: Lasers shooting off, deep humming, disc-scratching effects, and static that builds up.

-'''Legacy:''' Just the sole fact that this transitions into the Bravo logo at night is bad enough, but the logo's epileptic nature and eerie noises can make this just as bad as the Bravo logo that follows it.
