I guess it makes sense to postpone the relaunch to the 24th. Think about it, the tory leadership campaign will be over, and so finally putting a lid on the election 2001 coverage.

ReLaunch Now, please will you post some quick sketches of graphic layout and onscreen layout...

Straps clock live dog etc.

And some colour examples

That would be good! Also, what's the latest the different programmes - do you know any more about whether Sunrise/ Live at 5 are really being scrapped? And how does this affect what you said earlier about changes to lighting/astons/videowall to give different programmes different looks?

If Sunrise, Live at Five and Today are to be scrapped then what will they do with the 3 editorial teams?
Each programme has/had its own team of people working on it, are they going to sack them as well?
Hmm...

c@t, they still need to produce the programes - which means editorial teams - even if it doesn't have a specific name.

We've already had what the new logo will be like - in a previous thread. It's basically the new generic typeface... I'm sure someone else will be able to repost the logo.
Why don't you just point me to the other thread?

Mark WOW! You are fantastic with those pics!

To my knowledge it will look something like that especially the breaking news one! That is what the wall will be used for it looks very good!

I did post a mail the other day with the latest on the re launch but it seems to have gone?

The latest is....

All programme names will be axed this includes the scene at 6 /7

The presenter line up I gave you will not happen the presenters at the moment are on their new roster...


There will be a BIG AD campaign which is being filmed at SKY Centre as I write....this will be on soon.

As for sketches they will come soon.

Cheers, ReLaunch

I must admit ReLaunch that Ive never really doubted anything which you have said on the forum but I was genuinely surprised when you said that Sky would not be running any promos prior to the relaunch !

Sky are the masters of self-promotion and I didnt think they would be able to resist touting the forthcoming new service !!

Thank you, but yes you were right!

To be honest we wasn't sure until last week how BIG this re launch would be...

It's gonna be massive so watch out for the ads and I'd say look out for a bigger spread in next months Sky Customer Mag!

Sounds good - but no programme names at all? Sounds slightly odd as those new names sounded good...
