Isn't it possible that the idents aren't ready? I assume they aren't just editing the current ones.

New logos are being used on the online TV Guide on Sky.com

So it looks like the Sky logo is a silver-ish colour rather than white, but for some channels it changes to the colour of the channel logo.


Do Sky still do a stacked version of these logo??

Nope, sorry, looks much better with the colours in their normal places.

To the Sky Sports logo, it would probably look more like this

And then Sky News could probably look similar...

Interestingly Sky History on 123 will be taking E! 's slot. Sky Nature takes History's current slot of 130 and SyFy will be taking Pick's slot of 152.

Will be interesting to see where E!, Pick and Sky Two end up on the EPG. To date my understanding is that nothing has been said to say whether these channels will be staying or not. Good to see they've confirmed that SyFy is staying.
