Ant, sorry to disappoint but that's the one we saw a couple of weeks ago when the rebrand was first announced. There were many comments about it being very FOX orientated with the pseudo-searchlight theme in the "V".

It's bad Rolling Eyes Shocked

I have to agree with cwathen, Sky's TV branding of channels with the exception of Sky Sports has been a shambles really.

I meant the bits after the Sky Movies logo. With the genres.

Apologies for the misunderstanding.

My mistake actually Ant, I didn't look at the link properly.

They are plain and boring, but Sky normally surprise and produce an on-screen version which is far better (Sky Premier 1998).

Saying that though, I have cancelled my Sky Movies sub after 10 years because of this, so I will have to wait for some caps from other forumers before I make my mind up.

I have no idea how they are going to fit those channel names into the EPG! Short-sighted management strategy methinks!

Very plain.

Highly imaginative Rolling Eyes

I take it Sky Movies Premier's logo hasn't been revealed yet? Maybe that will be grander.

Agreed. Why not Sky Movies Action. Or why not just Sky Movies 1,2,3...oh wait that's too complicated Rolling Eyes

So place your bets - how long until these names are dropped and we probably return to numbers as that's the way it seems to happen with Sky Movies.

Do Sky Sports have seperate control over their own graphics and logos? The reason I ask is that Sky Sports logos and graphics for cricket, football and rugby nearly always are excellent.

I imagine a very short life span for these. Perhaps 5-6 months, unless they really want to run the brand into the ground!
Shocked

EDIT: When they rebrand again and put it back to 12 channels I might consider re-subscribing

What's to like or dislike??

It's a very boring typeface, and the entire strategy behind this will cost far more than they have lost over the Virgin debacle.

I have cancelled Sky Movies and I had it for 10 years. I'm sure I'm not alone. I wasn't prepared to pay the same price for losing 30% of the movies. It's a rip off! This renaming is a sham designed to cover that up!
