Sky's Branding

I'm finding the tune to the new Sky1/2 idents getting stuck in my head now. Probably a sign I should stop watching so much Sky1.

It's the intro to Lily Allen's song 'The Fear' isn't it?

No.

Sky 3's DOG has been toned down in transparency, is it the same on the other sister channels?

You'd think they'd learn to get it right from launch really, wouldn't you?!

Yes, it's quite faint on Sky1/2. Even though Sky Atlantic have toned theirs down since the launch night, it's still brighter than the others (and wider, obviously, because of the name).

Yep, DOGs are toned down but Sky1 HD almost looks 4:3 safe whereas on Sky1 it's tucked well into the corner.

Also has PSD files of the endboards, as well as the Sky Comedy/Drama bumpers. What a find!

Wonder if Sky knows that people from this website will be downloading the font?

Every channel launch/relaunch is the same though when it comes to DOGs. Anyone would think they make it overly obtrusive deliberately in order to make them look like they're listening to their viewers when they tone it down.

Odds are quite a few ppl have downloaded them on here, so there's no danger of you not getting them if you put a nice notice in the Requests forum
