Is this not an old logo? SBS hasn’t used that thin font in its master logo for years.
It was meant to be a joke about them most likely having a bland rebrand (see the bracket below).
For simplicity purposes, stick a bold 2 numeral next to the Mercator. I’m sure everyone knows what the Mercator stands for nowadays.
I didn’t see that, apologies. I must be going blind ha!

Not funny when you post something as if it’s real news (but then say maybe it’s not on brackets).
A moment of silence for the Viceland brand.
Okay that’s long enough.

Too long if you ask me.

I wonder if they will reuse this logo again before the last rebrand instead of using money for a new one?

The rebrand will take place August 21 according to the updated version of TV Blackbox’s story.
93 days to go.

Why would they reuse?

They have more simplified channel logos nowadays so probably inline with that.
