Seven has a new logo!
road...@my-deja.com
As of the start of the new millennium (in this instance, 00:00 on
01/01/2000), Channel Seven has a new logo. In ASCII art it looks something
like this, and is red with a thin black border:
_______
\_____/\
/ /
/ /
/_/
the shading becomes lighter to the top right corner to give an orange-ish
effect...... it looks so very retro, so late 1970's.....
As for the watermark we have all come to know and love (especially you, Mr.
Detlef Pelz! ;-) ), it appears to be roughly the same size (probably a
little larger if anything) but much much lighter and much less obtrusive. It
seems to contrast most on light backgrounds instead of dark, Buffy-ish
backgrounds.
And you heard it first here. :-) I just ran out and told my parents and their
friends, and was met with a mixture of disdain and indifference.

I forgot to mention something else. I didn't see the logo in the advert
break, but when the adverts finished and the music show started again. how
they have the program rating and title. It appeared to me that the Seven
logo is the standard colour bar spinning around and then stopping to form
the number '7'. Then it stops at the colour ORANGE. of all colours.
Unfortunately, we can't see what crap they've dug up for their new promo
until 6am.

around since the early 70's with a slight change for the intro of colour in
1975, and completely changing it but keeping the basic design in 1989. As
for the new logo, i don't mind it, but they should have kept its traditional
logo. Happy New Year Everyone!

Happy New Year & welcome to the 2 thousands.
Regarding the new Watermark, it is closer to the bottom right hand corner of
the screen & does appear to be less obtrusive.
If they won't get rid of it, at least I don't see it as much.

SSSHHH! Don't let Channel Seven hear you say that or they'll make it more
obtrusive ;-)
The new logo/watermark looks like those bloody ribbons that yank celebrities
seem to wear on every occasion.

Well that makes perfect sense... those ribbons signify a charity/non-profit

I don't think it's much (if any) closer to the corner of the screen than the
previous one (version 2 of the one in the circle). Certainly closer than the
original one though.

the new years' eve party and it became the topic of conversation for the next two
hours. I think that while I was sick of the old one, this new kitch piece of crap
reminds me of a reigional TV station in the 70s...It's just some dodgy fold that
looks like a breast cancer ribbon. Also, why the hell would they bother getting
rid of their stupid new programme pages and the like and replacing it with their
old orange-marble style ones that they had before? The worst part is when
programmes return and it does that dodgy rainbow stripe thing - do channel
seventies want to take us back three decades? The old rainbow didn't look bad but
this spectrum-like one looks shocking.

think it looks and 70s/80s, but I like it because it takes me back to the good ol'

*turns on tv immediatly*
It looks like a folded over ribbon to me. I wonder how much it cost to
come up with that idea...

Interesting to see from that clip the few seconds after the ID - a promo for
AFL with the old logo in the bottom right corner.
For the record I hate the new logo and I agree with everyone who says that
it looks like something out of the 70s. I would have assumed from the
timing of the introduction - first day of the new century/millennium - that
they would have been intending on revamping the logo looking to the future,
but it's come out looking into the past. Very strange indeed. I guess this
is a sign that Seven intends on continuing with the same sort of crap that
we've grown accustomed to in recent years (I can see the logo changing some
time this year).

That would be nice, but I think that they shouldn't attempt that before
they've actually learnt how to show a decent program properly. When they've
mastered that, perhaps they can move forward.

and didn't have access to the new sport watermark, so the new network
watermark was placed in the top right hand corner instead.

I wouldn't have a problem with the new logo if they just made it smaller. I
already know what channel I'm watching. I don't need a great big orange

Yeah, I always liked that original 3d X thing they had...of course the one
they settled on was just the ABC logo from the US. Come to think of it,
wasn't the late seven logo (double seven in a circle) just ripped off from
o/s as well? I can't remember where or when I saw it but I'm sure I saw some
footage once from another country whose 7 logo was exactly that...

WJLA-7 in Washington DC (ABC affiliate) has the exact same logo as our Seven
Network did throught the 1990's. I wish I had the URL that has every TV logo
in North America, but I can't recall it off-hand at the moment.
Network Ten's logo is like ABC America's logo in some respects - the blue
circle - but the 'ten' is a completely different font.

What do you mean wrote off? Is that what they spent acquiring

I imagine it's also a haven for creative accounting. Are these
production investments (and losses) accounted for by their "cost" or
their "value"?
