It'll be Xmas Gold, XMAS GOLD or Xmas GOLD.

Hoping that is just for illustrative purposes - surely they can't be branding shows nearly 30 years old as "New and Exclusive"

Series 2 of Mrs Brown's Boys already has a 'NEW' logo as part of the DOG, despite being repeated on BBC One.

I don't think people will mistake a 'New to Gold' repeat of a hugely popular series that originally went out on BBC One as a brand new series exclusive to Gold…

Sister channel Good Food is also rebranding as Christmas Food.

Better get ready for Christmas Dave, Christmas Watch and Christmas Alibi then.

Same on Virgin, although Virgin have always had more space for the channel names.

The new DOG isn't as big as I thought it might be but it's certainly brighter than the old one (on GOLD).

That was never going to be an issue was it? They manage to fit things on like Made In Cardiff these days.

They can't fit in "Cartoon Network" in full, but can fit in "Made In Cardiff" which are both 15 letters long.

Comedy Central is only 14 letters and yet it isn't in full, they took the space between the words away to fit it in.

Seeing "Sky SpN HQ HD" makes me laugh. Surely they should have thought about longer channel names when redesigning the EPG and perhaps gave a thought to making the space larger or using channel logos in the EPG and longer text names in the S&S banner?
