Interesting how the Watermarks differ from state. And yes, I agree it’s a tad early (139 days currently when typing this) to be running Olympic promos now, but it sure does make the wait more exciting! 
Thanks for the info. 
Quite possible its just the program being aired is different to the other markets and thats why the Olympic watermark is missing but that doesn’t explain why there isn’t one on 7TWO and 7mate aswell. All the other markets outside WA have the Olympic watermark.
Update: Olympic watermark is back.

That would be this one, which I shortened. The original had Toni Pearen saying “The only show where every…” before abruptly cutting to the WIN ender. I can’t seem to find the original

The Olympic watermark did not appear during Sunday Night tonight.
Maybe Seven is only allowed to use the Olympic rings watermarks during certain programs?
The 7 watermark is inserted at the production stage on Sunday Night, like the news.

Here is the link to my site hosting all the ready-to-use transparent Aussie TV watermarks for your mocks. The website is a work-in-progress.

The watermark on Seven Melbourne is currently in the top right hand corner (presumably so it doesn’t intrude with other graphics) on the annual Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal:

and no rings.
Even in Sydney the rings have disappeared. I thought the rings were full time
Different movie in Adelaide. Still no rings

Until today the Good Friday Appeal was the only remaining program that did not have a watermark.

I don’t know why its only happening on Fox Footy HD but the “No Ad Breaks LIVE” graphic looks 20-30% bigger than the SD channel and the other Fox Sports channels. Its really awful! I actually rather the ad breaks that that gigantic graphic.

Thankfully it’s back to normal size today. Would be better if they get rid of it all together and just have LIVE
I really don’t get why channels want to promote the fact that the sport they air is live and free. I mean of course it’s free they don’t need to promote it!

Blame Seven for starting this recent “Live and Free” watermarking (and promotional) trend on sports broadcasts. I believe that they were the ones who started it, with Nine and Ten (one wonders how long it will take them to start using “Live, Free and in HD” as a dig at Seven) following suit later.
