Blurred Teal on Grey looks better to me by a mile. It's possible, given a different image, that Grey on Blurred Teal might be acceptable.

I've finally wrestled the HDMI Splitter from my brother, so I can capture some junction examples from various channels 1-5 _ and then I will need to make some clean trailers for programmes.

If I am to make some videos, I will need it. But also I will need to toy around with animating some trailer/menu layouts.

Not liking any of these I'm afraid - find them a bit dated and the format somewhat restrictive to be honest.

As I said early on in this thread I think this design lends itself to a reinvention of the sidebar which enables you to have a consistent design across channels but use the left hand side to be quite channel specific while having a fairly simple generic logo format too. IMO that can also make best use of your box logo animations too.

Love the logo animations and think you should make more of them in your endboards etc.

Inspiration from BBC Two itself:




Could the animation expand to the edge of the screen, like the image, revealing the boxless logo and info?

I am capturing footage of the Junctions from the other channels, as a way to compare my future ideas. The issue I am having with the idea of a sidebar, would be that it would need to be 4:3 safe, especially considering BBC World News, which is 4:3 safe as it has international transmission.

CNN does something similar in style...

If it was 1998 fair enough, but for 2015 even internationally it isn't something I think should be a factor in your design, especially when you're primarily designing for a number of services in the UK. Adapt the BBC World design to fit the 4:3 requirements if needs be but don't compromise the design of other services to make it work.

I am trying to stick to the Technical guidelines that the BBC use. I do try to ensure the work I do is technically proficient whenever possible.

Quote:

2.10 Safe Areas for Captions
Captions and credits must be clear and legible and must be within the safe areas specified.
All font sizes must be legible as HD and also after down conversion for the SD viewer.
There are two primary caption safe areas defined for 16:9 material for UK transmission:
- 14:9 used for the majority of UK programmes/broadcasters.
- 4:3 required for certain programmes/broadcasters or for programmes distributed internationally.

Maybe that explains why the BBC branding is currently such a mess then.

Those technical standards are decided europe wide, and ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, and Sky all adopt them along with the BBC.

They need not impede a design, but I need to keep them in mind though.

Channel 4 is 4:3 safe, as is Channel 5. ITV are 16:9 safe, but it is only the logo which is outside of the 4:3 area mostly.

I will try a 16:9 layout, but it wont be the centred design, it will be some left aligned layout.
