Watermarks

Far from being a “separator” of any description, those logos look like the organisation and Olympic rings are all rolled into the one logo.

From Seven News Sydney in 2000

They had the horizontal version in some of their promotional material, but their main watermark was still vertically stacked with no separator:


Not for their watermark:

I take it back then, I hadn’t seen the watermarks. Count me in as a member of the Nine/Olympics watermark haters club.

So is a separator line required under Olympic rules or not?

They’re all stacked though? And the first 7 Tokyo example is next to the rings. Perhaps when in that format it requires a separator.

SuperSport:

France 2 (the red dot is part of their regular logo):

Peacock (sorry for the meme, the stacked dots are also part of their normal logo):

I can’t find anything to suggest that a separator is required. There are rules around proximity (you can’t have a logo within a rectangle around the rings defined by the outer radius of the ring) but I am happy to be corrected.

glad they removed the text from the circle for BOLD

IIRC, that was only done as a way to try push the trademark through when it was challenged by Fairfax (later Nine) and wasn’t their intention to have it like that.

When the logo was first introduced, the Boss text was next to 10 logo as it is now.

Would have been fun trying to pitch “10 Boss Drama” as the channel name…

VHS LP recording so not the best quality. I’m still capturing at the moment so looks like it will be a full 6 hour session.

Edit: it was just over 5 hours.

Clean watermark
