The 'Sky' part of the logo being transparent would fit in with the rest of the Sky channels, including Sky News Arabia. So it could be that we see a refresh of the logo in a few weeks time, maybe?

The new logo seemed to have appeared at the back of a promo for 'Immigration Week' which commences next week. I presume now that the newswall will be used extensively during the week to show stats/facts on the sky special.
I'm not a fan of this new logo, the red looks washed out, the HD at the end has shrunk to an unproportional size and I'm not sure how the transparency would work. Wouldn't it be a little distracting? Or put it in-line with other sky entertainment channels? Sky should be differentiating Sky News, especially since they're trying so hard not to get the 'fox news, entertainment channel' label.
Also, as the red is different in the logo, wouldn't it mean they'd have to change their graphics on the top right of the screen, usually showing 'live' and also the red strap background too, as they'd be too dark and would make the logo look out out place.

Is this the HD one you were talking about taken from the home page of the sky.com website?

It is placed in the same on-screen location?

Maybe it becomes clearer to you if you see toth or weather transition.

From looking at the previous screenshot; it doesn't look good. The "NEWS" part of the logo is too big which is a bad move from Sky.

How is the TOTH and the set looking like at the minute? Are they broadcasting the current bulletin Westminister or from Millbank?
