Well, at least it says "Sky One" instead of "Sky Onc".

It's an interesting idea, and the strikethrough on the other programme's name might just work.

Also, forgive me being a grammar bully, but

Simpson's


Simpson's what? His/her shirt? Wallet? Car? Do you mean The Simpsons , without the apostrophe?

Its fine I noticed it once I'd uploaded it.

Any more opinions on the two and three logos?

The Sky Three logo kinda looks like Sky Thr8 from here.

Otherwise, not bad!

I can see it is very Eastern in influence, and think that it may be considered too political for the channel.

Nice! Just want to echo a lot of what's already been said. And not meaning to be difficult, but the show is "The Simpsons" - no apostrophe.

I don't want to risk sounding patronising with an explanation, but since the forums are searchable I thought I'd include one in case anyone got stuck on the issue. It's one of the things that often catch people out. I've put it in a quote to make it smaller and to allow you to skip it quickly if it was just a wee typo.

Quote:
Apostrophes are to indicate possession - John's car = the car of John / the car belonging to John. Plurals do not have apostrophes: cars, channels, Simpsons.

The car belonging to the Simpsons would be "The Simpsons' car" or "The Simpsons's car" - both are equally accepted.

It's and its work the other way round, to add to the confusion. The apostrophe in "it's" is a substitute for the second letter "i" in "it is". "Its", mean while, means "belonging to it" or "of it".


Other than that, I like the styles you've come up with. Couple of technical things to watch - it looks like there's an unfortunate square of solid colour behind the text on the green, and I too don't like the strikethrough. The programme is still going to be on, after all. Maybe worth thinking about something involving transparency/different sizes, as others have already mentioned!

EDIT:
Oops, didn't go on to read the second page. I'm an idiot.
