Watermarks

Unrelated, but which Jackass movie is this?

Searching the image using Google Lens, this comes up as from the 2002 Jackass movie.

Ah right thanks. My first though was number two because it’s my favourite.

The Olympic Rings on NBC’s Today show should be covered up by the 7 logo with 7 not having the Olympics in Australia for the next 8 years.

I’m not sure if Seven would mind as NBC Today is just a simulcast from NBC I think and they are 2 different studios only affiliated by programming and morning shows for Australia

Don’t think they care enough. And they probably aren’t against creating confusion over where the Olympics are…

Do Seven really need to start a watermark advertising Australian Idol when it’s not starting for 3 weeks? They are annoying at the best of times. Maybe show respect for your viewers. Or maybe you’re just desperate for ratings? It seems a cheap version of Idol even worse then last year. Which isn’t going to compete with MAFS so maybe they aren’t trying anymore? Pethetic.

Where specifically on 9Now is that one from? The one I posted earlier from a live stream (non broadcast channel) had and just checked still has the 9WWOS watermark.

Great to see 9Now gets its own official watermark and an Olympics one at that.

The size of that watermark is pretty good. Two things though:

  1. Considering the WWOS watermark which is used during Nine’s AO coverage is typically smaller than the watermark used during the rest of the year, the regular version we’ll see during sports like the NRL might be too big.
  2. It’s unnecessary for the Paris 2024 (and the other variants used on Stan & 9Now) bit to be on the screen constantly. I can understand if it appears for a bit coming out of ad breaks (or every now and then on Stan/9Now) but the constant reference is unnecessary alongside the Olympic rings.

As if there couldn’t be anymore watermarks on Nine’s platforms for the summer of tennis… This one is on 9Now’s Aus Open highlights videos (taken from last night’s 5 hour Kubler slugfest), the 9WWOS watermark is used, but appears odd looking, larger and ‘puffier’, also the standard bottom-right VOD 9Now watermark is still there:

Yes as someone said about the one the ABC were using, this is to cover up the Olympics watermark.

It seems strange that Nine, who are exclusive rights holders and would have access to the clean raw feeds (as seen across their various platforms to insert the various watermarks) that they couldn’t do this for 9Now vod? Rather than use a ‘dirty’ feed of the as-broadcast watermarked from 9Gem last night.

I’m guessing whoever is packaging and uploading the highlights videos (on demand rather than live streaming) to 9Now, is from a different team, maybe not at WWOS Melbourne Park but back at 9Now proper in Sydney offices or wherever based. Nine needing to do their own cover-ups just seems silly, plus there is already one there (the “9Now” watermark!)
