Hi everybody, here's my all new fabulous Channel 4 mock. I hate their current one, apart from the ident, almost everything is white. Not my thing. Anyway, I've made all sorts, and they are all currently sitting, awaiting your comments at my PutFile site at

www.putfile.com/oliver12345

OK, let me tell you what I think:

IMAGE 1: Promo Endboard I prefer this because in the current endboards, most of the representing image is covered when the endboard comes down, and just leaves little cutouts which make the Channel 4 Logo - this one actually reminds you about the programme.

IMAGE 2: Technical Difficulties Well I've never seen the current technical difficulties board for Channel 4 but I like this one. It's basically just the ident (you probably guessed that didn't you?) but with all the notes at the top. It would enter by the ident appearing and playing, then the text at the top slowly fading in.

IMAGE 3: Film Warnings This appears as an ident before a "naughty film" comes on.

IMAGE 4: Website Advert OK, so at the end of certain programmes on Channel 4, you see the website come up, like for Big Brother and The IT Crowd and stuff. It would be the same here, only instead of the ident image, an image from the show would appear and the WHOLE URL would appear, (like with the /itcrowd in it). Personally, I like it.

IMAGE 5: News Miniboard Now you've probably never heard of a news miniboard. That's because I made it up. In the half way break for whatever programme is on before the news, you'll notice that the old man who does the news tells you about what's coming up in the news. This would appear when he's all done blabbing on about it, just before the programme resumes.

IMAGE 6: More4 Ident An ident for Channel 4's most recent failure of a channel.

IMAGE 7: Logo It probably wouldn't be used anywhere on TV, but it's just to give you an idea.

IMAGE 8: Coming Up Tonight Ident Well you've seen it - this would replace certain idents, and the voice over guy would just tell everyone in case they were blind and/or couldn't be bothered to read it.

IMAGE 9: E4 ident Keeping the pink, E4, like More4, keeps the same ident as Channel 4.

So that's my fabulous collection of Channel 4 bits and bobs. Please be nice with your comments...pwiddy please!

EDIT: Sorry, mate. I don't like them at all. I much prefer the current look on Channel 4.

Could it possibly be because you're already logged in?

A little hint for you then. Make the mocks using the dimensions allowed.

Bumping your own topic does you no favours but as far as I can see, they aren't a real improvement on the current look. I'm not too keen on the font, and the use of a single image throughout the entire identity gets dull and rather boring at times. And so I put to you these questions...

1. Why the hell would E4 want a picture of some Skyscrapers as an ident?

2. Same as above but replace E4 with More4

3. Is this an improvement on the current look?

4. Would you like to see this on TV?

You've put some effort in, but not hardly enough to merit a high star value. 1/4 stars

Well I like it - anyway the skyscaper image is just an example - a filler if you will
