CDixonDesign Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Odd choice for a color palette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NatsFan2004 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Yuck. That's terrible. Definitely not becoming of the UK's 2nd terrestrial broadcaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hathaway Browne Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 Some blurb on the new look.. interesting explanation of the palette.In this form, the logo has four colours that are the "perfect points" on the colour spectrum. But this new logo is intended to be a chameleon and will sometimes change according to the show or channel using something that ITV is calling "colour picking".For example, when alongside Dancing on Ice, the ITV channel logo will sometimes become purple, blue and green to reflect the show's spangly outfits. When seen alongside Downton Abbey, it will be classy grey, beige and black; and on I'm a Celebrity, jungle greens and browns will feature on the letters.and the other channels in the group will also receive a variation on the theme, although it appears their colour schemes will be more solid. Some of the new indents sound awful.- ITV2 is to become the "home of infectious entertainment", with the sixth biggest channel in the UK getting a "hot red" version of the logo and red on-screen identify, including new idents and 'end boards'.- ITV3 is to be positioned as the "keeper of ITV's treasured and timeless drama", with a new "midnight blue" logo and idents that feature stories told in shadow-puppet style animation inside glass bell jars.- ITV4, which has previously struggled with its identity, will adopt a "slate grey" logo and become the "home of sport and cult classics", as well as a "man club". Channel promotion will include pub factoids - such as "One in ten children in Europe are conceived on an Ikea bed" - and idents featuring viewer nominated "dreams come true", such as driving a Rolls Royce into a swimming pool.- CITV will get a yellowy-orange logo and playful idents that "burp and fart, and do other things kids love".-Digital Spy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Meh. Like most TV logos, it can't really be judged until we see what it looks like on screen. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDX Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Need to see it on screen, but as mentioned the colour palette is shocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashcarson15 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 At least it's definitely going to stand out from the BBC logo concept of "let's put three letters in a row and do really nothing to them but use (a) box(es)" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crashcarson15 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Damn -- never knew that was an ITV logo.Nah, was more talking about how it could sometimes be a little tough to tell apart ITV and BBC whenever watching a match. I could be completely crazy, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raymie Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I'm a longtime follower of TV Ark, so I know this fairly well: ITV has never had a good, consistent identity that has been well-received, well-associated, or well-adopted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hathaway Browne Posted November 19, 2012 Author Share Posted November 19, 2012 ^I know what you mean. I guess that there's a chance this might do it, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Seems to highbrow for the channel that brought you the X Factor and I'm A Zeleb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the Pepsi of the TV world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walby2 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I know nothing of ITV, but I think it's a decent looking logo. I suspect it would look better in other colours, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
