Another tweet featuring the new Sky One logo:

The new acapella singing show starts tonight. Might be worth seeing if anything new appears before the start of the programme.


If it happens, I hope it will not an edit of the promo with a centralized Sky One logo! It would be the first time new presentation launched in the evening (normally happens at 6am) since at least 2008 when I started following these things. Hopefully by Monday new pres will have launched.

Does anyone know if changes to EPG channel names are ever published in advance?

Even then, some of the idents on Sky 1 don't even use the logo, so I think the 1 might still be in use when the new logo comes out. Maybe the 1 jumps out the ONE somehow.

I think that Sky One would just remove the ident with the logo and leave the other 4 in.


.. and have a large blue rectangle in the bottom right-hand corner containing the new Sky One logo! Seriously though if the current idents remain it would only be temporary. When Sky Arts launched its new logo removing the stylised A it continued to use the old idents and just changed the centralised logo that fades on screen at the end. A couple of months later, idents matching the new logo were launched.

^Won't be surprised if that's exactly what they do. Sky Uno is the Italian Sky One, so I would expect the plan to be a set of idents that can be used on both, as well as Sky One Germany.


If the channels do all start using the same pres, it may lead to Sky Eins. Worth noting that none of the European Sky Sport channels are using the new Sky Sports logo. The promos and announcer on Sky1 Germany actually refers to the channel as "Sky One". It would be strange for the UK and Germany to be branded as Sky One and Italy as Sky Uno post the forthcoming rebrand. Launching these new logos is probably the last thing Sky should be doing at the moment. I'm sure the Sky Italia creative team love seeing the UK launch yet another new batch of logos. It took long enough for the previous logos to roll out in Italy. I have lost count how many times Sky Uno has updated its logo on its current idents!

As much as I like the current idents, I don't think the above idea would work well. If they want to keep the '1' character why would they be changing the name of the channel? From the images of the new Sky Living idents and the improvements in presentation across the channels over the last few years I trust they will produce something decent for Sky1. Mixed CGI / Live action presentation similar to Sky Uno in Italy could work well on the channel.

The tweet featuring the new Sky One logo on the key art for Sing: Ultimate A Cappella has been deleted. Perhaps it was tweeted out by mistake.

No changes at 6am this morning, which is usually the time Sky make changes to its presentation. Worth noting the current Sky Entertainment presentation launched on a Tuesday, so it's very difficult to know when they will make the change. I really doubt Sky News will be rebranded at the same time as the entertainment channels.

Judging from this tweet Monday would seem like a good guess.

The Sky Bet website is now using the new logo. Vegas is using the 2011 style and Poker and Bingo using the 2016 style.

Comedy Central

I assume the 1920 idents have been withdrawn, I never actually saw them, but in all my recent recordings The Home of Stand Up idents are airing before all shows. The menus are being used during daytime and overnight. During primetime with the Middle, Stand Up, Impractical Jokers and Friends all having their own set it doesn't leave much room for the regular idents.

Comedy Central

On top if that it seems there changed the Stand up idents aswell: https://theident.gallery/player.php?id=COMCEN-2017-ID-HOSU-1


So far I have spotted two idents and three stings. I would not be surprised if there are more. The regular Comedy Central idents are becoming a rarity with all the special idents for different strands and programmes. When they do have a chance to use them, the cross-channel menus make a lot of appearances. Not really a complaint it makes for good variety!
