the Hotdog Man promo seems like Five are trying to copy the success of the Cadbury Gorilla and Runway ad but TBH they should done a promo showcasing their shows like CSI or Paul Merton with the theme of 'We Are'.

As for the idents, I like them with the superhero one being my favourite though the fish one seems more E4 than Five. Will be interesting what other idents ideas pop out.

Didn't Five - well, Channel 5 back then, have a show a few years back which was basically Going for Gold in all but name.


Yes they did, presented by Robin Huston, can't for the life of me remember it's name now though Embarassed

They had a Going For Gold - type quiz as part of 5's Company which then span off into a programme of its own. When it was on 5's Company it was presented by Steve Allen (better known as presenter on LBC)

Quote:

Didn't they also have on called " Whittle " ( I think ) which was presented by Tim Vine? And this was a direct copy of ITV's Everybody's Equal which was presented by Chris Tarrant.


Not a 'copy', it was just Channel 5's version. It (along with Going For Gold and many others) is a format owned by the owners of Five

Don't get the hotdog man....didn't realise it was a hot dog! Laughing

and stating that five is just one of hundreds of channels you can watch is hardly a strong selling point....

idents are quirky though !

New fiver logo.

Strange, five us still isn't changing.

Clicking TV Listings brings up the usual guide, but five and fivers logos are new.

The website hasn't re-branded and the old dog is still on.

All three Five channels are currently displaying their old logos, nothing new yet.

EDIT 9.00am: Current cycles ident into The Wright Stuff

Must be happening later on tonight or something.

New look website online. No new look for Five US judging from the logos.

Which is ridiculous tbh. If they can be bothered to edit the Fiver pres with a new logo, surely it wouldn't take much to digitally remove the old Five logo from the Five US pres and replace it with the new one. Unless of course they have an upcoming refresh planned for Five US which isn't ready yet.

Website looks good.

Is there a possibility that it's happening tonight? (Like they did when they were introducing the emotions idents)

I'm pretty sure they're not bothering to update the Five US logo as there's a whole new look in the pipeline. Fiver's look is relatively new, so will be sticking around a fair while longer. Back when it was reported that Five was looking at rebranding, all three channels were mentioned, so it shouldn't be too long to wait.

The Fiver logo looks much better when it doesn't have the black box.

I don't really get the Hot Dog Man advert, but I actually really like the idents. They seem really creative, quirky and fresh.

The ident wth the gasometers being drummed with a piece of crane is just lovely.

I'm not sure having the logo at the beginning is such a problem - nice to see someone trying something different at least.
