Don’t mind it, wish more watermarks were small like that one (and the CBS one).
The AFL has dropped the LIVE & FREE tag next to Seven’s watermark, from the video highlights of matches produced by the network. It is just the red Seven logo now.
Before
After
That’s how they used to be, pre-2018, it’d usually be a stacked “Seven Sport | 7” or sometimes the “Sport | 7” (which used to be for delayed telecasts). Until more recent years where they just used “7” following 2020’s one-off “7 Sport” fat watermark.
And then the AFL social channels and Seven during shows like Sunrise and news, use different ones again.
And rival networks like Nine, when showing taped footage from over the years, often used a multitude of Seven watermarks in a given story/package. Too many Seven Sport watermarks, especially since 2012.
What’s the deal with all these watermarks.
From 9Now’s FAST channels.
woosh
The shading on the gold “9” being used on Today makes the right side look wonky.
Playout issues for Nine this morning see the w/m over the top of commercials and permanently red. Fixed at about 10:20am.
The line between the 9 logo and the Olympic rings is unnecessary. Looks odd.
Blame the IOC, they require a separator between their logo and any other logo.
New rule? Don’t think 7 ever did in all their years.
Not seeing any separators on other organisations such as NBC.
Started in Tokyo I think. Seven used a horizontal logo with a line which matched their presentation at the time anyway so it didn’t look out of place.
A separator doesn’t have to be a line, NBC has two lines of text between their logo and the Olympic rings. BBC has a stacked logo with a line. Also look at Eurosports, CBC, various WBD brands as examples.
