Honestly, the logos of most of the shows that logo will be attached to, put it to shame.

Yes but I don't see it or the others appearing after any shows, not in this state anyway. If they do then feel free to make your brainthoughts known but for now, hope they'll pull something out that's a little more bigger and grandiose than this flaccid attempt.

I must be stupid but seeing as Thames is essentially a legacy name does it need to have a link to the river at all? Yes this not-a-logo is possibly the worst simply because it breaks more basic design rules than the others but I can't say it's inappropriate for what they do, sums it up well if anything.


'Sums it up well'? How? The company makes television programmes not dishwasher tablets.

Because they do reality TV, that logo is all about that whole celebrity obsessed culture. Shiny, pink, hopelessly vapid and void of any substance.

And it looks vaguely like a dishwasher tablet brand, thanks for the astuteness. More reason to assume these might not be the logos they'll end up using.

Sure sure, but that doesn't get rid of the fact that regardless of the target audience, this is one of the worst production logos ever seen in the past decade.

I said it was appropriate, not that it was good.

My word, talk about giving a great name a completely sh*te logo, my God are they trying to kill of the brand (maybe that's the idea), surely they could have come up with something better than that.

That being said, when you compare the current logos of many companies compared to those of yesteryear they usually comprise of a dull font executed in a dull way that cost loads to produce.

Those are absolutely hideous. To think someone actually gets paid to produce nonsense like that.

IMO, this was the last great Thames logo:

Other than that they have been ok to poor, I know that nowadays the skyline could probably be no longer used, however it'd be nice if they could do at least a decent logo rather than that they have created above.

The new Talkback end cap featured at the end of celebrity juice, in which the the 't' rotated in a very cheap way, it actually looked very powerpointy.
I hope that these were created in house, the logos and now tha animations are not good.
