UKTV Rebrand and new channel

Not really - Virgin Media own all of Bravo and half of UKTV.

By having a look here, it seems the Watch logo is semi-transparent.

Not really, I just couldn't be bothered to go round the outside.

So now parts of the eye itself is semi-transparent when they shouldn't be?

I think we can all safely say that these new channels will be filled with tacky jokes about their names:


Press Release

The Factual channels are to rebrand in 2009...

So, say hello to "Chav", "Stuff", "Then" and Nosh" then?

You mock but I think 'Nosh' is quite catchy and could be quite successful!

Yep, Nosh would be a good name for a TV station.

Perhaps 'Dig' for UKTV Gardens?

UKTV Channels on Virgin Media in the Birmingham area are black, only the +1 channels work but Dave +1 has been a bit wobbly. Dipping in and out ect.

Blend for UKTV Food

also the disney channel were black aswell.

Red Bee work their magic again

Oh dear. Out of the three "new" channels I had more hope for Watch as the original logo looked quite interesting, and there was alot they could do with it.

It's difficult to imagine what they are aiming at with their mixture of "live action and CGI" idents again, but I really wish Red Bee would change their thought processes. You only have to look at the originality of the idents for Sky 1/2/3 to see how well it can be done.

If it's an odd coloured and over-sized ball from a pool table or a bowling ball then it's misplaced. If it's an eye then it's worryingly large and very 1985-ish.

Are they planning to scare the potential viewers? "We'll know if you're not watching!"
