The logos look so much better on cake. Get the feeling that might be how they were pitched to them.
Having held out on going corporate for so long it is a real shame they've decided to do it at the time when they have a fairly weak incarnation of the main 4 logo. Yes, it's never really changed but they thinned it out with the last revamp and I preferred it with a bit of fat on it to be honest.
That said I think it works really well on 4Music (possibly as it's the only channel prefixed by the 4), and although it'll take some getting use too the Film4 idents incorporate it well. More4 just looks like one of the laziest revamps I've ever seen, and E4 losing it's own logo seems a big mistake - the idents are fun, but they could be C4 idents in their own right. Presentation looks half decent though, but in reality it is as a
DOG or on the
EPG you see the logo the most.
If they wanted to link them together more I'd have rather them go down the All4 logo route (I assume that's changed now) of each block representing a channel with the logo on the block. The connection then could have been a bit more abstract.
