At the start of the 2004 Season, a brand new set of credits
were introduced. They have been updated 4 times since they
were first introduced in January, and Australia are now on
Version 5 of the Credits. Version 3 (the second update) of
the Credits has just begun airing in the UK.

Opening Credits
Gone were the underwater shots,
the 3d CGI Fish and the moving Character Boxes, Instead, the
start of the 2004 Season brought with it characters in
Photographic scenes in front of beach backgrounds. A stylish
new Home and Away logo was also introduced. It's now in a
glossy blue colour and uses the normal version of the Reporter Two font, instead of a customized version.
Now there's something I bet you hadn't noticed. ;)
Recap
The recap screen at the beginning of
every episode has changed too. It begins with a shot of a
footprint on the beach, which is immediately covered by
seawater.
The recap is no longer in full screen like its'
predecessor. Blue bars containing sea images are now
displayed at the top and the bottom of the picture.
Closing Credits
The new 2004 Closing Credits
begin with a deckchair in the bottom-right hand corner of
the screen. A person walks into shot and sits down in the
deckchair while the credits are displayed screen by screen.
As the Credits end and the website address is displayed,
the person walks off the screen.
