Watermarks

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 :frowning:

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.

I’m surprised there hasn’t been an uproar. Way too big.

30 minute delay here. Prime still not opting for the proper channel watermarks.

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.

Watermark on Eleven

TEN really need to sort the sequence and timing of their HD watermark, it regularly doesn’t appear for quite a while, the HD wording doesn’t appear or isn’t removed while pop-up’s are on screen etc.

Tonight for example during the James Corden primetime special there is a solid TEN watermark throughout the show to coverup the CBS logo but after the first adbreak the HD wording has moved back to the RHS of the screen to where it usually is rather then next to the logo which it originally was when the show started.

Yeah…and Nine often gets the timing of it’s HD watermark additions a bit off as well.

Personally, I think that Ten (indeed, any network) may as well get rid of those HD watermark additions. If you can receive the channel, you’re going to notice the difference between HD and SD quality!
