The Sky News HD promo loop has started with a piece with Dominic Waghorn in Jerusalem, a mixture of beautiful shots of the Dome of the Rock and some skirmishes on the ground.

Reverted back to old logo now!


Very sloppy if they introduced the new logo just for the debates but are reverting back to the old one until Sky News HD launches properly. How hard can it be to alter the Vizrt graphics and stings to use the new logo, even if they don't launch the full new graphics.

Why is Sky News ignoring the other polls. YouGov is the only one showing a Cameron win, the C4 and ITV polls have Cameron in 3rd place. Please Sky, bring us the other polls, and end this shocking Murdoch arse-licking, tory-hugging bias love-fest for David Cameron!!!!!!!! Exclamation Exclamation Exclamation Exclamation Exclamation

I guess after last weeks YouGov poll had Cameron lagging behind Mr Murdoch ensured YouGov went searching for an answer they'd prefer this week.

Well they always said tonight was just a teaser and it's been exactly that!

It looked like Adam Boulton was going to puke then. Pity the HD has been removed, it would have looked great.

He deserves the day off tomorrow but no doubt he will be on the air round about 6 in the morning.

I'm not talking about HD, I'm talking about a logo. In one sense it doesn't really matter because the logos look pretty similar, but what other company or service would introduce a new logo, only to then drop it for a while and bring it back later. It is branding madness, especially as I say it must be quite easy to alter the live Vizrt up to the hour sequence and other presentation elements that have the logo on to use the new one.
