Fictional TV Channel Graphics Pack

Hey there.

I wanted to try mocking for a fictional TV channel, so I made one up called Channel Eight. It shows documentaries and other serious shows. Here is the logo:

DOG: (This would appear for the first minute and last minute of the show only)

What do you think? I'm open to criticism...

The DOG is a bit strange, but the whole thing just looks a bit like Sky's current pres.

I suppose so. How could I tweak it to make it look a bit less like Sky?

Only the DOG is a bit creative. The rest just seems boring.

Channel 5 circa 2009 if anything.

Any other background images you wish to brighten the forum with?

I wanted to try to get the seriousness of the channel without making it boring. How could I liven it up a bit?



May I ask what that means?

It all seems a bit bland, really, and is that Calibri? There's nothing that makes it look interesting or appealing, really...

Take inspiration from this Gallery Design Challenge.

I'll try and work on it. It's not Calibri, it's FSAlbert though.

Ok, here's a new idea:

Very bland and sterile to me, don't like it I'm afraid...

Sticking that typeface in those rectangles for the endboards is the biggest gripe I have just now - I think the execution of that is horrid. Sorry, but personally, I'd have to do away with it entirely for fear of some sort of mild allergic reaction. Also due in part to the colour scheme - and ignoring safe areas has definitely not helped.

First thing to do, change the layout to keep within the areas, and work in / save as smaller images; this should immediately make things more presentable here - you may want to then reconsider the ideas...
