tmf

Been ages since I've done any mocks!

Antway, this is the new tmf with a basic idea of what I'd like the channel to look like.

Basically - the channel features a new type of DOG - never seen before (I don't think - in less you class MTV's 'paper bits'), that moves around the screen.

It only moves at the beginning and end of songs though, as part of the song information that is displayed.

Anyway, first comes the ident:
The tmf logo flashes on like a neon light - complete with sound effects - and then starts to spin around with the sound of a record - before the white line comes on from the left of the screen at the same time as the 'non-stop hits' text. The red lines animate in the background from left to right.

The first song after the break starts: Eric Prydz - Call On Me. The dog comes from the bottom of the screen and expands as you see it here:

The tmf logo travels up the white line until it reaches the top of the screen, and swivels into an upright position as the line and the song info animate off screen. This is the new DOG position until the next lot of song info arrives.

Basically the DOG continues this process as it makes its way around the screen. I've used the same song info and stuff just for display purposes really.

Hope I explained that well enough!

Basically I'm trying to keep the same style that tmf has now, whilst trying to make it a little bit more 'MTV'.

What do you think.

You can't change the TMF logo! That'd be like changing the MTV logo!

All of the sudden all the clothes and electrical gadgets that have the current logo on it would be oldfashioned.

Oh and the TMF cafe's would need new uniforms and glasses and stuff.

Well it's better than what's onscreen at the moment.

And if it means 24/7 Eric Prydz videos I'm all in favour.

They changed the VH1 logo mate!

But there are countries in this world where TMF is a bigger brand than VH1 & MTV put together.

TMF IS VH1 and MTV put together!

I'm talking about TMF, not the British channel that uses the same name & logo.

i like them, different and much better than the ageing old mtv2 pop idents!!!!
