Calling it Sky mix and IN THE OLD STYLE is just them playing silly beggers!

Looks like Sky want Mix to be a channel in itsself now and not just a sky one brand extention.
God forbid if on EPG 108 they launch Sky Extra!!!!

Nice new website, seems to be covered in snot though. I haven't been able to see the new look yet but if the way the logo animates on the website is anything to go by, it must look really awful.

I always liked the yellow on black, so I am not bothered it has remained. But the orange and white always bothered me. So I'm glad for Sky One's new look. And the logo is good aswell. Still waiting to see an ident, but the trailer new style is a big improvement.

Is it just me - or have they tried to make the ONE out of the SKY + logo that appears on the front of the box?

Right, let me be the first to say that today idents have reached an all time low.

What the hell was that just now on Sky onc, some animated orange horse thing and towering buildings ? All in lovely orange on green. Bizarre, was somebody tripping ?

Well that was the weirdest ident I have ever seen. I like it in a way. i like the esoteric feel of it. I like the sound. The colour scheme is gonna take some getting used to, and the small logo is a good touch.

The only things that have improved since Today are the promos, they look better now and have a similar feel to the Sky Movies promos, now if the idents were like the ones from Sky Movies then that would be good, but they aren't, I saw the link at 12.45pm and was just shocked at the sheer crappyness of the ident.

I think this is the only time that I would want to see the Sky One egg come back on, though it was the shortest lived set of idents they are far better than the ones that have debuted today.

It's been suggested for ages that Sky would eventually replace Sky Travel with an entertainment channel on Freeview, so I wonder if Sky Mix could eventually take it's place.

The quick re-runs of Sky One programmes would obviously come to an end, but it could become an Ftn style channel using the archive of Sky's original programming, like Dream Team and Mile High, and also some programmes from Sky Sports and Sky Movies.

Well I'm sorry, but I must say that I like the idents alot!! They're a bit zany, a bit wacky and totally cool! Love it (is there only one so far?!)

As for SKY|MIX - what the hell. This should have had a new logo but I can see what Sky are trying to do. Sky Mix has 'taken over' Sky One's old look, and is going to keep it as it's own identity.

Love Sky One though, brilliant.

Agree with you there I quite like the idents. I hope that they have produced them so that you have wierd ones leading into comedies, cartoons, etc and serious ones before documentaries and dramas.

I do like the new style of trailers, they seem very professional and sell the programmes well, I'm actually thinking of watching The Match and Kirsty Does Dubai. I also like the new logo, colours and dog, they're very different, perhaps we may see different coloured idents/dogs through the day (different slots, daytime and prime time for example), every day (just changing them now and then), or for the type of programme.

Though the time of day is hitting me at the moment as they've had orange through today, yet they have the logo with the turquiose like blue, so many it changes, which would be a nice feature.
I don't even mind a bit of colour as part of the dog.

I do think that they should have done SKY mix, in a similar style, and if not in a similar style to a style of it's own. I still like the idea of SKY Two, is this just too simple? Plus it would make the name 'SKY One' understandible!
I don't like the way that they've just adapted their old look, they should have developed something of their own, everything had to be changed to get rid of the 'One' anyway.

Well the trailer endboard looks good, don't know what the idents look like, but the website background is of a colour resembling turd!
