That DOG is hideous.
You just know they've purposely decided it must be that big at launch because it's a new channel and people need to get to know the brand. But it's such flawed thinking. If the overall branding is strong which it is, it doesn't need underlining at every opportunity.
As it is, that DOG is so big and distracting it could actually put people off watching. Madness.

The DOG is irritating. Too big. Too opaque. In the wrong location.
If they're looking to be different, the should have shoved it in the bottom right rather than top right.

Top right is better it disappear every so often.

Did it appear AJ. It was on my Sky EPG from this afternoon showing trailers.
The branding seems very well designed and despite the mix of fonts and different trailer end caps it all seems to fit together very nicely.
I didn't understand the 7pm start when it had been promoted at 8 every where including channel 5.
Nothing on Sky 160 for me yet. I assume Sky will add it to the EPG shortly?

Even the promo and ident leading into 8pm announced Police Interceptors Unleashed as the launch programme. Very odd!

Nope it didn't appear until this morning. A cock-up by Sky which seemed to affect everybody in Wales.

Our dear friend Callum Precious reckons Spike should try launching again in June... 
@robfrancis @tvlive Should @SpikeTVUK closed out because it was launched earlier than planned, should try again in June 2015?
