www.itvpictures.co.uk needs a bit more than a logo change I think...

Loving the new look homepage. Very clean. Smile A nice touch with the top menu only appearing when you scroll further down the homepage as well. itv.com really does look superb now - the best it ever has looked for sure. Cool

With no TVF complaints here it certainly must be good. Laughing Lovely bright new site as a whole - the Guide looks much less dreary.

The only problems I've found:

- The favicon still has the old ITV logo on it (unless it's just my browser cache).

- Old screengrab of the ITV News studio at www.itv.com/tvshows

- On www.itv.com/itv2 and the ITV3/4 pages it says "Find ITV on the following channels:" on the right hand side whereas it should say "Find ITV2 [3/4] on the following channels:".

So only old logo I can find is the news icon.

Well, this has been changed at some point today today too now!

They changed the colour from blue to teal as well.

Well this was a pleasant surprise! I was convinced that all of the work they've been doing on the site had been leading up to flicking the switch to change the logo, but great to see that they've improved it further.
It's really nice and clean, and although the feature area being at the very top of the page was a bit surprising at first, it's grown on me and I think it was a good choice. Everything just fits together really well, and I like the sparing use of the ITV logo colours to highlight things - they certainly feel very fresh.
All in all, a great job I think, and a massive improvement over any ITV site I can recall over the last few years.

The favicon appears to have updated now. Smile

Tonight will need updating as well, as their logo was in the corporate font and thus the title sequence is almost certain to be updated.

Weirdly the TV guide under the live feed on the ITV2, 3 and 4 sites lists 'Rabbit TV' from 10pm till 2am tonight. Confused

All the minor points I mentioned yesterday appear to be sorted. Smile

Interesting how browsing on iPad you can look at the ITV and ITV2 home pages fine but the ones for 3 and 4 divert to the Mobile page.

What do they mean by "Circular image cropping for shows re-enforces TV junctions and stings" on the penultimate image?

On screen, you'll see animations based on the dot of the I. It's linked to that presentational element.
