It seems they are moving away from having proper host titles, which leads me to wonder if there'll even be a full title sequence for London 2012. As seen on that clip the Beijing titles were primarily Beijing Olympic Broadcasting branded, and since then the Vancouver 2010 winter games had a very short title sequence that were solely OBS branded, which I would call an ident rather than titles.

Since we're talking about OBS, I thought these deserved a place in here although they're already in the BBC thread. (Credit to satmanHD from Digital Spy)

Like people have mentioned in the BBC thread, they are very similar to Vancouver and Beijing. A shame the ones in the video game won't be used. It'll be interesting to see how they look - I suppose we'll find out on Wednesday!

Sky Sports News will debut their Olympic set at 7.30 this evening. Features a desk very like the one in Sky Studios and the usual touchscreen technology.

A real shame - those ones on the video game looked superb and really fit the London branding. These don't fit in with the look at all.

My exact thoughts!

Is anyone else getting ridicuously bad aliasing on the EBU feeds?

OBS titles as broadcast on BBC Olympics 1 HD. There's a video after the stills, plus a link to the MP4.

For some reason, the sound levels on the BBC-O channels is lower, so you may need to turn your volume up to get the full benefit. Also, note the Shard doesn't make an appearance on the skyline.

For everyone who ask how we'll be broadcasted this event in France :

TF1 will show the opening and the ending ceremony
France Télévisions (France 2/3/4/O) will broadcast nearly every sport
BeIN Sport 2 will show the only one sport who FTV won't broadcast : Tennis
Eurosport France will show every competition.

Then, this is the opening theme for these Olympics Games for FTV : http://medias.lenodal.com/video.php?id=12615 shown just after the Tour de France's final ceremony, in the France 2 sunday's sport show, Stade 2 .

This opening is a part of a big reconstruction of all opening sport show into the new brand : FranceTVSport, lunched just befor Roland Garros.

How come TF1 are showing the opening and closing ceremonies, have France TV sold that rights on? Same for the tennis?

It's because when the IOC have choosen between London et Paris, TF1 bet on Paris and bought all rights, but as London won, they sold all competitions to FTV and kept the opening/closing ceremony.
And I agreed for the tennis.
