Sky News claim to have the largest video wall in Europe, right? I was wondering who had the largest video wall in the world. I think it might be CNBC(US) -- their relatively new video wall is absolutely enormous. Is it the largest?

The CNBC videowall is pretty big - not that much bigger than sky's though. At a guess, I'd say that the largest videowall in the world could be the one at the Nasdaq Marketsite in New York - unless that doesn't count because it's not on telly! And I know there's a similar sort of thing somewhere in Asia (saw it on a report about the asian markets sometime last week), which looked pretty massive too.

The one at NASDAQ is massive. It certainly has to be the largest in the world.

CNBC have a few walls IIRC, all of a similar size - they're not massive.

I think Sky use their wall better than any other broadcaster i've seen, although I'm still not keen on those feeds.

The debate over which 'look' Sky choose for the new logo is certainly very interesting.

Currently we have:

CORPORATE: Sky Guide, Sky Customer Channel, Sky Magazine, Sky Travel

PLATFORM: Sky Sports (all), Sky News, Sky One, Sky MovieMax, Sky Premier,

We know that Sky Active launches on Oct 1st and it's logo has been revealed already. Could Sky be planning a complete revamp of all its channel logos ? Ive not heard anything so far to suggest that they are ?

Sky One's website is being revamped, this could suggest a new logo coming soon and a new look for the channel.

Sky Travel is already corporate logo on air

Sky Digital launched with a different logo to the one they have now, so perhaps this is the steady process of re-building their corporate image once again.

Yeah I noticed that Sky One has been down for a while but Sky Sports have revamped their onscreen graphics for the new football season and have kept the old logo.

I wouldnt be surprised at a new corporate look and revamp to try and cement their lead over the relaunched ITV Digital.

(PS - I forgot to add Sky Box Office to the platform list !)

Was this taken from a Sky website ? If so then it seems pretty clear that they will either revamp all the channel logos or at the very least alter the 'Sky' part of all of them (this might look odd for channels like Sky Sports where the logos are currently based around upper case lettering).

Hmmm, this gets more confusing ! Sky One have introduced their Auntumn idents, but have retained the old logo.....!

Is this the new logo??? See Page 35 of today's The Sun newspaper...
