The current logo style is five years old! Overdue for a change, methinks!
I actually think there is still many things they could do with the current style. I don't like the current batch of idents (or trailer style), but I think the square box theme could survive another three years easily.
Speaks for itself really - the reward room, sin bin, sauna and HoH rooms are all hidden. Reward Room works as BB4. Sauna is an extra reward to spice things up!
Finally, instead of a housemate getting a "telling off" they are called into the diary room and are told to enter the sin bin and complete a mini task. When the mini-task is complete they can return to the house via the living area. Simple!
On the corridor to the bathroom, there is a removable wall, which will give access to the Head of Household section of the house, which isn't introduced straight away as a sort of surprise.
The Reward Room door is also conceiled for the first week and uncovered in the second. This also applies to the Sauna Room in the garden, which is only introduced half-way through or when Big Brother sees that there is a relationship occurring - therefore increasing the ratings with some steamy action.
(The thicker black walls are present for sound proofing from either noise from the Diary Room or from the Garden and over the fence.)
Firstly, Salty. LIke the symmetry of your design and with a re-draft could work well, but currently I think the camera run design needs a bit of work as for instance, filming someone moving from the lounge to the bedroom would be quite complicated.
CraigF - brilliant designs as always. Have you got your plan handy of the current Big Brother house please (either from series 3 or 4), as it now looks likely that Big Brother is staying put, so maybe people could have a go at reworking the current house.
I think it would be a good idea to scrap most of the furniture on the series three map, because it is massively out of scale.
Does anyone know any good software which will let me do anti-aliased multilines? Ulead PhotoImpact doesn't do it, which is one I regularly use and I'm not sure about PaintShop Pro. Anything available on Kazaa will do!
They did that in series 1 which is where the eye originates from I believe.
Bit of useless knowledge, the eye they used in big brother 1 was Melanie's (the scary spice lookalike, went on to present Chained on E4 then not much more)
Well, here's my own (rather lame) BIG Bro 2005 mocks contribution. Note that I've decided
to use a different font for the logos and caption. The tagline for BIG Bro 2005, to reflect the
background on the logo and eviction captions would be - "BIG Brother - Feel The Heat".

Fireworks is good at that kind of thing, that's what I use.
