If only UKTV acquired Bravo...

They already own part of it.


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.

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:

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?

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!"
