X Factor: 2011

Very Idol though.

The US titles I would imagine will be 100 times better. The US seem to have quite a knack for they sort of things imo.

I actually like them. Not a fan of the edit at 0:09 though, it sounds too out of place.

The idea is good - but not quite pulled off in the execution. I'd be surprised though if they'd let France have them ahead of the US but not the UK.

Somehow I think the US version will have bolder and brasher titles than the French one. It's not like the US to do calm and quiet, they always have to push the boat out and take it one step further.

The FOX promo (which is on YouTube somewhere) has the same logo form-up as in the French titles, so it's fairly likely they'll be the same.

Also, it's interesting that X Factor France uses the full theme as the music for the end credits. I wonder if that'll be adopted here or in the US (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYT4EkXRdUg&feature=related)

Aye the logo maybe, who's to say FOX haven't pushed the boat on the titles though....

He says 'logo form-up' to be fair...



...though that could simply be to avoid revealing a part of the titles, perhaps.

That end tune has been used for the UK too.

Not a fan of those titles at all, although, and this is going to sound like outrageous stereotyping, the models used look quite continental. Also it's plausible that the French production team couldve been provided with graphics used in the US promos. It does look quite tagged on at the end, and the dodgy music edit is a bit of a giveaway.

It's quite unusual for a US broadcaster to constantly use the title card form up in every promo.. you would think the animation would be something specifically created for the promos, given the huge campaign. Are they really going to use a section of the opening titles in the promos like that? I'm not sure they would be that cheap.

Also the France titles have been created for over 5 months. There is no plausible reason that they couldnt have been used on the UK version until now.

Also lets not forget that X Factor has never been the most consistent show from territory to territory (as much as we may try to forget:)

It's worth mentioning that the X Factor theme tune was played as Simon walked onto the Jay Leno set last night, so no chance of that changing.

I don't like the French titles. They seem like a less exciting version of Britain's Got Talent's new intro.
