So, I decided to have a go on the company which lost even more than others in 2009 - Westcountry.

How will it return? (apologies for small size; originally images were 1024x576, but it looked so big, so I decided to change the size, but I can't restore it!)

*
That 'W' again! I decided that it will make more interest than generic or genericised style.
( Also, there's a Carlton-stylee star, which sighifies its former ownership.)

*
A promo to Westcountry Live, keeping the same style. The networked ones will have ITV1 logo, and 'itvlocal.com/westcountry' (can be unseen) will read 'itv.com/westcountry'.

*
Fast forward to 6 o'clock (based on 1999 style, before 'hi-tech' sequence).

*
7.30pm, and another cock-up with Corrie. While it's repairing, this comes (with some voice and music).
Also, this can come before the break.

So, what do you think (in constructive-criticising way)? (And, if you want, I can re-do this work again, in bigger size.)

I actually like these.
What application did you use?

The same as you: Photoshop (CS3, portable one).

I like these too.

Though I feel the Westcountry Live promo doesn't work as most of the picture is blurred out and blurring out the newsreader so I think you need to rethink that.

But otherwise they're all real good.

Yes, I understand what you said, but Westcountry Live was selected as an example.
Anyway, another idea, simpler and without 'out-of-focus-expect-the-W'.

It still has to look good.

Perhaps you could keep the frosted effect but only use a bit of the 'W', a bit like the Westcountry film idents. That would leave more space for text without it feeling squashed in.

I don't think so. I think the 'W' can be finally seen in its full form.
