ITV Rundown Menu

This is my first ever mock on the forum so please be kind with me! I always look at others and think 'I could do that' and so here it is! To be used in the Autumn on all the ITV Channels. A menu showcasing the programmes on each of the four channels ITV1, ITV2, ITV3 and ITV News.

I intended to put ITV News Channel beneath the other three channels but opted to put it separetly on the bottom left as no snippets are going to be shown in the box on the top left.

The screen will begin with each ITV Channel and the programme being revealed as the clip plays in the left-hand box.

Ive tried to keep it simple and not too distant from the current end credit package at the moment!

I like it, but how about haven't the channel you're watching under the picture? Eg. In your mock, say it's on ITV2, put the ITV2 info under the image and have 1, 3 and NC to the right, if you know what I'm saying!

EDIT: I've just re-read your post and relised different images come up for the different channels! Just slap me!

Why have you used the old ITV News logo?

I know what you are saying and I did think about this - but it would mean too much changing on-screen at once. The rundown may only last 30 seconds equalling only 10 seconds per channel, where the ITV NC doesnt get a mention unless there is some breaking news that night or a repeat of something important!

Therefore this is what would actually happen :-

0-10 seconds promoting ITV1

10-20 seconds promoting ITV2

20-30 seconds promoting ITV3

Therefore you should instantly know which programme is being promoted on each channel!

Looking at them now I feel there are too many different ITV logos on screen at the same time and it looks too messy so I have created this version:-

Where once again the channel number and details will all appear in sequence.

This is actually reasonably close to what the ECP will look like when 3 launches on Nov 1st. I was at the Edinburgh International TV Festival and Zai Bennett (from ITV2) showed us a load of ITV3 promos, teasers, trailers and some graphics. The "rundown" is on the right as the credits roll on the left, the bg is black and then the 1, 2 and 3 are in a line down the screen with the programme name next to them. Basic really. The pres on ITV3 will be based around a wire-frame cube which bounces around the screen (or at least that's what we saw, they could, of course, change it still).

On the topic of the mock, I really like it. I though it was a bit busy before, but I like the way you have cleared it up.

Here's my idea (credit to Ministry of Design for the logos)

Yes I like the simplicity of the mock but I think a 'box' with some footage of each programme would be nice!
