The Christmas TV Thread

Is this lightboxes thing just for christmas or is it a new BBC branding idea?

Someone no doubt looked up at TVC's wall and saw the glowing BBC logo on the wall and copied that into the idea.

Not sure if any of you have seen this, but there is this wintery ident for BBC HD on the BBC youtube channel

Hard to say as I saw an ad for BBC iPlayer earlier and that also had the glowing boxes, but the ad itself was nothing to do with christmas.

Any news on what Five is doing, and if (a huge if) Channel 4 are going to do anything, even seasonal end boards, never mind idents.

I don't really watch Five that much, so don't know if there is any signs of anything yet. But I know they did some nice stuff last year.

Five will probably do something but as for Channel 4, I don't think they've bothered since the rebrand in 2006.

Channel 4 rebranded in 2004 and really need to add new idents to their collection or rebrand completely as their Idents are boring.

I like those BBC Light Boxes and I believe they should use them for general presentation and not just for Christmas. Light Boxes are for life, not just for Christmas!

Wrong. Their idents are clever, unique, memorable as well as being understated and subtle. Don't give me this "it's my opinion" rubbish, you are dead wrong.

And C4 have routinely added new idents to their collection (though is their a non-3D version of Scrapyard?), except at Christmas.

Five Christmas promo.

Now that they've withdrawn the strange live action stuff which didn't fit with the rest of the package, Five are using some really swish presentation. Dare I say equal to Channel 4's?

STV launched their Christmas package at 7pm tonight. Can't believe they actually have something...
A simple, but effective ident, sparkly break bumpers, and that's about it. Nice they bothered, though.
