What’s the betting this is to cover up the Eyewitness News logo at 5pm?

The WIN news coverup is (almost) big enough to coverup the TEN news watermark, so I doubt it
Almost big enough, since TAS has that now empty orange bar under the WIN news coverup, where you can still see some animation from the TEN logo underneath

What am I seeing here? A 24/7 coverup of nothing?
Un fucking believable. Right after we just roasted their shitty coverup antics from years gone by. Really thought it was a Nine thing but clearly it wasn’t.

WIN have always been attention seekers and the BBL starts tonight which means more than 7 people will be watching there channel. I am glad they are not with 9 anymore. Google maps could use that.
Yep that sums it up. I still think the logo could be bigger

Not in WA either.
Anyone here thinking this is just a pisstake from WIN staff? The timing is oddly coincidental.

What makes NSW so special then? 
I wouldn’t normally watch the cricket but I’ll be tuning in tonight to see what monstrosity WIN comes up with to ruin the cricket. I was gobsmacked when that thing appeared today but I have no doubt WIN can outdo themselves yet again.

That “watermark” looks like it was designed for the early 2000s in the 4:3 screen ratio when you see the PRG! And we thought during the Nine ownership they were bad, and thought those days were over, but it seems not! It’s not even transparent! 
If WIN really wanted to use the Mappy logo as their watermark, why couldn’t of they used something like this, instead of THAT? I made a quick mock-up of something less intrusive and aligns with the previous WIN watermark:
And if WIN is really insisting on a splash of colour 
:
I seriously thought it was a mock. 
I don’t understand why WIN are so quirky when it comes to making coverup logos, and the odd part is, there’s nothing to coverup in the first place! 
I await to see how the 5pm News will look if this is their new coverup watermark… 
Bring on the caps!

I think it literally comes down to one guy just wanting his company’s brand “bigger, bolder, in their face” but has no idea about the negative impacts, or just doesn’t care.
There are probably heaps of valid reasons why mappy works well for WIN. It could communicate their brand better with their “country Aussie battler” viewers and advertisers, or create a more local feel. All that is understandable. In fact, I was surprised it didn’t make more of a return post-Nine affiliation. It’s the implementation of it that pisses viewers off. It’s always obstructing something and never elegantly worked into any presentation element. It’s never consistent and poorly executed on every level.
