Well, with a bit tweaking it might be salvagable.
Kinda reminds me of BSkyB's old logo circa 1985.

would be interested to see how this animates on screen.

Anyone have a copy of the SKY 1 NZ ident?
I'm kinda intreagued as to what it looks like On-screen.

EDIT- Here's the logos from TV companies names SKY from around the world.

I'm in Christchurch Smile

It's great to see NZ's idents on this site- I envy you having the technology to do do it and look forward to seeing your own NZ ident site eventually showcasing our design talent.

I just wish TVNZ and TV3 would copy the BBC One's website example and have Realplayer versions of all the current idents for the world to see.

And when *will* Sky One get a new look! It's dire!

G'day mate. Sorry I lack the whiz-bang technology to record the idents, but you can see the Sky One logo earlier on in this thread.

The red and yellow One box emerges on screen out of a background of squares that look like those on Sky NZ's website (see http://www.skytv.co.nz ) and the number '1' has a three dimensional look to it, and there is an awful soundtrack that sounds like bad early 90s techno that finishes with a woman's remixed voice saying something that sounds a bit like "supersonic" repeated over and over as the ident closes.

Maybe BBCWorld3 could provide some screen shots for the enlightenment (and horror) of all.

Note that the One animated geometric pattern/kaleidoscope pattern idents BBCWorld3 has posted aren't used much now except mornings and late at night. The pattern promos are sti'l current with the colours rippling outwards across the screen from the letter 'o' of the One logo.

Mostly, One now uses live-action idents based on concepts by design students at NZ secondary and tertiary schools, reflecting TVNZ's renewed focus on highlighting NZ culture and talent.

For example a man silhouetted on a hill at night raises his remote control to the sky and presses a button and the twinkling stars all come together to make up the One logo, or in another example a girl will be swinging on a tire hung from a tree branch with the 'o' shp of the tire forming the letter O and the letters 'n' and 'e' fade up beside it to completet logo as the girl smiles at us.
