(Still think 5* is a horrible name and they should rebrand it too.)


Me to. The original names 'holding' licence names of 5.1 and 5.2 were, by far the best names they've come up with for those channels.

It was Five.2 and Five.3

Five.2 and Five.3 , weren't they?

Edit: Jake beat me to it.

Oh, yeah! Sorry!
No matter, Five.2 and Five.3 were great names, which you have to admit, were pretty unique.
Better than 5* and 5USA

Or Five Life as it was at the time. Which was just a big nothing.

I thought they were knocking the benefits stuff on the head. According to Broadcast, "Channel 5 is to hand three families on benefits £26,000 in a new social experiment from Dragonfly."

It looks very promising. Reminds me of a (rather basic!) mock I started creating years ago in my mocking days... https://vimeo.com/20150562

That's exactly what it is... No?

Got a friend to vectorize the logo, and recolored it to the specifications of the latest .svg file of the original 5 logo that still had the bars.

I'll take a stab in the dark and guess it'll debut alongside The X Files.

I think that is the general consensus, it should bring them big ratings and what better show to stick it in front of that that? They weren't ready in time for the CBB launch, so X-Files it is. I wonder if all the network is changing at once or will the other channels happen in drips and drabs? Will they just get new logos or will their entire presentation and look be changed too. 5 USA's idents and graphics are looking tired now, they need something fresh, as does 5*.

Let's just hope the DOG isn't bright and out from the corner more than the current one is. Will they take this opportunity to finally fix the position of the DOG on 4:3 material too?
