Do you know that the Department of Homeland Security manages one of the largest biometric databases in the world, called IDENT? This database stores biometric information like fingerprints and facial recognition data to help with identity verification and national security. Stay curious and keep learning!
IDENT
Intense and thought-provoking science fiction is always a welcomed viewing experience. Nowadays, people focus more on mind-numbing action and large spectacle set pieces, instead of creating something layered, intimate, and entertaining, which John Scott 3 certainly has with IDENT.
VIVA PLUS Idents (Germany, 2002)
Most likely made by The Designers Republic, at least I’m pretty sure. These idents were part of my early childhood when I had a German set-top box and I used to listen to many pop hit songs along with its competitor MTV2 Pop, which also had amazing, more flashy idents.
All I will say is that the idents certainly had defined the y2k aesthetic that I still adore so very much. :D

idents for my fictional television corpo - ttn - in years 2000 - 2002

ALTInspired by this ident from New York City’s 11 Alive / WPIX (which I’ve previously reblogged).
Like a Space Dragon is the name of my dream journal (since it’s mainly a sci-fi based alternate universe of the Yakuza / Like a Dragon series), while Pink Tree Television would be the name of my production company if I ever do become famous for my media. The logo for the latter will be my new watermark for now.
I may do more of these idents in the future.
Alternate version with the VHS effect under the cut:
