Belarus 1 Rebranding.

5/5, superb work.

Really? If it's not a sarcasm, just thank you.

New version with new logo, is that better than previous one?

I wish I could find my Train Testcard from a few years back!

surely?

That's the one!

Sadly these mocks don't deserve Pendolino or HST ranking. They are strictly Leyland buses on truck bogies.

Oh, that's absolutely odd.

But noone still can't explain me, what exactly should I improve?

At least, I have one positive comment, and couple of neutral ones

Or you're so demanding that you expect such mocks as Grampian one or SVRS, others are rubbish?
(I agree that majority of mocks actually are much worse than this, so, I hope this is not the worst one)

Right well, its obvious you're going for the 'simplistic' look. However you're doing it wrong, it doesn't have to be boring, but its looking like a Powerpoint job instead. Your argument is that the current package on Belarus 1 looks terrible, which I would agree on the astons/graphics, however the logo itself isn't actually *that* bad.

For a start, it just looks like you're using the shape tool and just drawing rectangles and squares without checking it they align properly. I don't know what software you're using but the anti-alising just doesn't look right. The latest 'Belarus 1' logo looks okay, slightly better than the boxed version you did previously, although the stripe motif looks too big from the font.

Safe areas

You say this channel is broadcasting in 4:3? Well you need to change where you place the graphics, as anything that isn't inside the 'Title Safe' area will get cropped off by badly overscanned TV's.

EG:

Here's an example in how to use the safe area guide:

Also when you're doing news stories in mocks, try to be realistic, otherwise it may look a bit newbie-ish and immature.

If its your first mock then its not the worst, but it just needs refining overall.

Take a look at these threads:

Oh, thank you for advice. I will try to fit it in safe area

Also, I'd better continue my work when I will be back to Moscow.

As this computer has got just 1 GB memory, and Paint.NET has no plugins here(and im sure computer won't stand such amount of plugins)

Also, I will probably download some software which is listed in Mocking guide
