The Sky Presentation Thread

Really nice idea. I like that the numeral has been retained at the top of the tree. Visually all very nice, but if I had to pick a favourite I'd say Sky 3 has the nicest tree to look at!

Fantastic idents. Well done.

What is confusing, especially on Saturday afternoons, is that SkySport Italia/Sky Calcio are also using the same snowmen and Sky Sports UK!

As well as the solid/liquid/gas thing I really like the little differences in the soundtrack between all the Sky 1/2/3 idents. The Xmas idents are great.



Happened to me on BBC One last night as well, but it was on screen for a matter of seconds so I didn't get to press green.

Sky Travel has a new logo... when was this introduced?

As expected the SKY logo has been changed to the corporate logo.

So yes, it certainly does seem like they are changing all logos to have the corporate logo rather than the SKY logo.

I don't see sky changing their use of a caps logo for SKY NEWS and SKY SPORTS, but I could be wrong.

Despite my attempts to make the News and Sports logos work in lowercase...

They should have done this 10 years ago - always thought the lower case logo looked far better than SKY.

I think the reason why they used lower case for corporate and upper case for channel branding was that it was rumoured at one point that BSkyB would have been split into two companies, one for the Channels and the other for everything else. Obviously it never happened, but it should have been done years ago.

Still cannot beat the whole Sky look from 1998, every channel had an individual look and felt classy on screen.

The other rumour doing the rounds was that the guy in charge of Sky Sports at the time they changed the logos to the Sky Brands font demanded his logos use full caps, as he didn't think the lowecase logo had as much impact. The other channels then followed suit. Whether there's any truth in that I've no idea.
