Here's a comparison (fortunately this is a very "faithful" recreation)

That's a PNG. It comes out exactly as you see it on the screen.
http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c275/bilkyasko/tvlive.jpg
That's a JPEG.
Notice the slight halo effect and the compression artifacts - making what would be smooth colour "spotted". It's also a nightmare to edit. And, the colour is slightly different to the PNG. PNG supports alpha transparency at multiple levels too.

That's why I use PNG for everything but photos.


His TV Live logo is 100% quality, looks exactly the same as it does in PNG.

Your JPEG logo there is only 66% quality, so whatever program you use, is ****.


Incorrect. Where you can see the white speckling is where compression has taken place, so it is not the same as PNG.

Also, my image was not saved at 66% compression, it was saved at 75% (and it is adjustable). Don't assume things without knowing the facts. And also don't assume my program is **** (whatever childish profanity you used) without knowing what it is. And calm down, you don't need to bite my head off.

I do appreciate that making another logo is a pain in the rectum, (especially if the website is new, because the content is the priority) but PNG is something to take into account in the future. (It is a good logo, I like it. Whatever you do, keep the design)

I love the way you had to recolor the background just so we could see it. Look, I really think it's fine as it is, as I cannot see any difference, at least not without opening up a graphics program, which nobody would. rob's said it won't be changing, and I agree it doesn't needto change.

I didn't say it needed to change; if you read that last post I said that he should consider PNG in the future.

I only recoloured it for the eye. Which is a bit ironic, as he seems blind. I could see it was a JPEG before I checked - i find it blatantly obvious. The colours are patchy and the image seems feathery.

All I am trying to do is say that PNG is best for logos, especially if you want to edit them later. GIF is good too (it is just a simpler, animated version of PNG [The same people made it])

Update to the site...

Now the site is really developing, I've designed a new logo, and the Price Drop TV section is online, and can be accessed via the Other Channels link.

Not sure on the Logo change TBH rob!

nevermind
I like the new logo, the site design is clean and well readable but still too simple... try to work out different colours for particular channels, or just broadcasters Smile. But still I look up to you because of the creation of a site on a topic when so much competition is already present.

I agree, it's nice.

I don't think that would work to be honest, it would become too complicated.

I would only count TV Ark, TV Room, and to a certain extent TV Whirl, as proper competition. We keep seeing sites popping up in this section which last about 2 months, then they shut down. However, the competition there is is strong, so well done for attempting to come up against it.

Well, a lot of e-mails have come my way saying they don't like the new logo... might change it back.

With regards to different colours for different channels, it's just too much work, and I'm not prepared to do that.

UPDATE - ABC1 images uploaded as well as Thames Valley Today images. I've got Krypton Factor images uploading as we speak.

I've opened the Five section now, with some screenshots from Five News. Also updates coming to The Krypton Factor section of the site.

Suspect it was being upgraded, as it's come back with a bang.

Nice new look, but I think you should change the lower case menu to use title case.
