BBC Switch

Here is a mock that I've been working on since I heard about the BBC's new teen service, Switch. I thought that I'd put together a few things to show you how I want the segment to be branded; click for the larger images.

First of all, here is the logo. I went for a boxed 'switch', but it is still readable. I have done this against three different background colours - red, blue and pink.


Then, I moved onto this 'coming up' screen, which I wanted to do a little differently. I'm a huge fan of Channel 4's menu idea, so I thought that I'd recreate this but in a horizontal way. As the announcer moves through what's coming up, the screen would slide along and the relevant image would be focused; and I thought that I'd throw in some images to make it look nicer ( :


And finally, I've designed a trailer endboard, which was a little difficult to do. As I wanted to make the Switch brand almost totally independent from BBC Two, I knew that somewhere on the endboard, the channel name would have to be mentioned. So, I shoddily put in the Two box in the corner, which I really dislike, but it is smaller than it is on BBC Two's usual endboards. However, I've replicated the overlay endboard though, as I feel it works with the logo.

Whoops, I've just noticed a mistake on that! It says Sunday, when it should be Saturday. Sorry to anyone who's upset by it xP

Looks nice. (I'm working on a design, but I doubt I'll post it here ) The colours are good, but I would try darker ones maybe, to try and darken them a little. I love the trailer endboard, and the menu look great.

4/5 - Room for some improvement, but looking great.

Wow! Very good, try working on the different colours. And yes you can expand on it.
I do like the what's on image. remove the italics from the web address it lets it down and unreadable, unsure about the switch being out of the safe area in the last image. 8/10

Love it! Really good design!

5/5

Simply Stunning! As a teen myself, I can safely say this is appealing to my age group and fullfils its purpose.

Well done indeed. 5/5

Yeah, these look really great.

Fresh and imaginative. Nice.

I'm liking this quite a bit.

Nice take on the titles; given the audience, I think you're close to hitting the mark, and without being clichéd either which is a bonus -- Thumbs up!

Great stuff.

Just a few little bugs, decapitalize and unitalicize the web address, try using darker colours and the Switch trail has some safe area issues:



However, design-wise everything looks fantastic and I could really see it working on TV; I especially like the trail, which is in-keeping with BBC Two's style whilst also displaying originality.

This is BBC Witch, programmes all about Witches, enjoy.

thanks for all the kind words everyone [[ :
i'll probably expand on this in the next few days - what sort of things would you like to see, other than darker colours?
and i did think that would be a problem with the overlay, but then i wanted the "s" to be cut off like it is in the logo. that is the main reason why i put "switch" underneath the date/time of the show. but, i'll see what i can do ( :

Not sure if you can, but I woul love to see this as a video.
