Yes, C5's is a nice effort. In my head C4 has a Christmas tree made out of numerous tiny blocks, but so far presentation seems limited to the falling snow blocks and the snowman on the endcaps, and I don't think anyone is expecting much more than that.

A promo for Lip Sync Battle UK has now appeared on Channel 5's YouTube page.

The graphics look very "Spike-y" yet the show is going on Channel 5. No hint at what the new logo/look will be yet as they are using the current 5 logo.

Might it be the new look but with the old logo slapped on for the time being? Seeing as, apart from that, it's not using any elements of the current Channel 5 look at all?

That font looks similar to the one from the 5 in the current logo.

I hope it isn't, as it's going back to the "big letters in the centre of the screen" that we had before, and still have with 5 USA.

On a side note, Professor Green looks like a constantly sad puppy. Plus, if you're going to lip sync (and that's where the fun comes from, seeing your mouth move to the words), why the hell is he covering it with a microphone completely ruining the concept? Rolling Eyes

The whole show is an online meme that has got out of hand.

He hardly covers his mouth completely with the mic though does he, 90% of the shots you can clearly see his mouth and him lip syncing the songs, its just done for the promo, and so they can get that random shot of him dropping it at the end.

But apart from dropping the microphone at the end, there is absolutely no reason for him to have a microphone in the first place. Mel B doesn't have one. The contestants on the show don't get one, because they aren't singing, only miming.

Dropping the microphone to some looks "cool" but it serves absolutely no purpose.

Yes I agree there isn't really a need for it, guess they just thought they'd try something different for the promo.
I do like Mel's bits on the promo, 'Hello' and then whatever that second thing is she sings/raps/whatever the hell it is, was funny.

No major revamp for 5 News as this promo for 5 News at 5 with Sian Williams shows.




Edit: On freesat, there is no programme synopsis w/c 04/01/16 for any 5News Programme/Update.
& 5 News Tonight is at 18:55 for 5mins.
This may be due to no Home & Away or an error on freesat?

I'm sure Matt Barbet said they would be back in the new year with a new look on the last main bulitin of 2015. Maybe the big reveal is on Monday?

If you've hired a new face for your main bulletins, it would be rather remiss to waste the opportunity not to introduce a new look.
