X Factor

Obviously the planned product placement deal with Apple fell through.

This show actually looked half promising for the first 5 minutes - the back to basics approach I like. However, seems to be the same old say 'yes' to anyone.

Well, SHOP did create the graphics... they must’ve got some guidance from JUMP Design.

Or maybe this time SHOP was given a better brief by the show's producers.

Well either way, they did a great job bringing back the original font that was used before 2016.

So they've brought back the theme tune that Simon Cowell axed after saying he was sick of it and was one of the worst theme songs he's ever heard!

Excellent they have used the 2011-2018 theme tune!! A more visually appealing logo than the red/yellow/gold versions they have used in previous series. Also, it was refreshing to see auditions set in a visually basic room/office much like the original Popstars and Pop Idol series rather than a room with background coloured backdrops and X's all over the place to make it look fancy. A much more refreshing and talented show than I was expecting.

i.e. stylistic cold open, rather than the usual 'X' logo.

Ahh okay, when I originally commented I missed the opening.

Looks like something done in 5 minutes and uploaded to The Gallery.

Does it look better in motion or is this just a stiff image?

It looks better in motion

This is the main logo used on social media, and also when coming in and out of ad breaks though.
