VTV? Surely that would cause confusion between VTV the company, and the channel (as per your signature?

WTF? Sorry, but that is barmy. Channel 5 is a well known brand (even if there are questionable programmes).

Couple of issues. I find the letter v in branding terms is a sharp and not friendly. And why call your brand tv when tv is dieing out. If you were to go with this brand I think it would be better to use the spelling of the letter v which is Vee. Vee could stand for v = 5, e = entertainment, e = everyday. I can imagine the logo would be a signature type. I can see it on social media as @Vee/#Vee and could work well. The channels would be;

Channel 5 -> Vee
5USA -> VeeUSA
5* -> VeeStar
Spike -> VeeSpike

My5 -> MyVee

To be honest I would reshape the channel line up.

5* would have a more youth focus. If Viacom invested they could easily do this. Maybe take repeat content from across Viacom brands like MTV. Also have kids to in the am with milkshake.

5USA would have more global shows from 5* so the name would be like VeeGlobal. (Can't think or a good name).

Launch a general entrainment channel that has the best of 5 and free up space on 5* which would replace my5tv. It would be called VeeChoice.

Maybe launch a more female/life channel called VeeLife. Not sure there is a huge demand this as I think the main channel and choice would cover it,

So it would look like;

Vee
Vee Choice
Vee Global
Vee Star
Vee Life
Vee Spike

My Vee

But having said all of this one thing is for sure non of this would ever happen which makes all of this pointless but never mind. 😂🙈

Vee sounds like a brand of sanitary towels. These ideas are getting boring.

You might think so, but the huge amount of adverts for products including the word "vag" in their name say different.
