When did the HD first appear next to the 5 DOG?

From launch in July 2010. IIRC it was originally done because the Aussie soaps were the only programmes shown in HD initially, and they wanted to highlight it.

Not a fan of logo free idents so I'm glad the old ones are gone. But they missed a trick by not using different textures or angles for the idents like Syfy. They're classy but lack the wow factor. Inoffensively bland.

I agrre, they are better than the the previous packages, but still a bit bland.

Well that is nice and legible. Not often you complain about text stuck next to a DOG being difficult to see, but in this case surely it needs to be more visible.


Much better though to have anything added in addition to the channel logo fade out, as the Britain Get Talking logo does now on ITV. To be fair though C5 have probably been ahead of other stations with the use of in-programme pop-ups etc. for many years now - seem to do them far more effectively to be fair.

TBH, I thought the old idents would have worked well with the new graphics, ECP and endboards.
