Scottish TV/ITV 1

Okay here's my 1st ever mock. I am looking to spend much more time on it. Improving adding additional idents etc.....

Main Concept for Scottish is to go back to what made STV Iconic in it's symbols, the Thisle being

Ident 1 - Thisle

Like I said I am to make improvments and it's only a start so I am expecting the " Waste Of Time " comments. Just let us know about what you think and of the bigger picture


Cheers

Purple text on a gray background is boring. It's rather plain, with not much imagination I'm afraid.

Far too dull.

Tip: Do not use Paint, except for quick map-outs.

Cheers for the comments guys much appreciated. Didn't use paint suprisingly enough lol!

I expected the sort of feedback I got, although had no one to ask online so though post here wouldnt do any harm.

I'll work on them to make them a bit more " Exciting "

• Find a decent quality image of a thistle.
  
• Use an image editor with anti-aliasing.
  
• Get rid of the purple on grey.
  
• Do something more interesting with the thistle. Draw a motif or something in Inkscape, and drop it in, or at least photoshop out the background. At the moment it looks poorly thrown together.

Very 1980s and 1990s Scottish Television. Think that revamping the 'S' logo for stv would be a better idea?

However, if you look at making the tv a common look and adding a unique design for 'U', 'S' and 'I' then you would have a uniform look for Channel 3 in the UK and Northern Ireland.

I also wonder if you could mark STV - North, STV - Tayside, STV - West and STV - East along with the likes of ITV - Granada and ITV West Country?

I like the fount.

perhaps use the thistle logo as the background? Or adjust it for use during the credits of a programme?

No full-stops this time, Rob? Shame.
