I’m fully expecting that to be the next thing on their “naughty” list to do. 
Wait for it… wait for it…

I’d like to personally thank WIN for this early Christmas present…

Ya know what makes it worse, if that’s possible, is that the WIN text can never be truly centred due to the shape of the map.

Here’s a few caps I took tonight comparing WIN’s delightful new watermark during Family Feud against the simulcast on ONE and ELEVEN.
WIN HD
ONE
ELEVEN
WIN SD
Here are some more from WIN HD taken during The Project. New mappy watermark obscures a little bit of text every now and again.

ABC definitely in HD now, looks MUCH better on the 50-inch TV here than it did when it first launched.
ABC HD
ABC SD for comparison (for some reason there was no watermark at the time)

If WIN really wanted to keep the map of Australia as part of their branding, surely they could make it a bit more stylish (even if that means not a geographically correct map) and TV branding-friendly?
I seem to remember the Pay TV “community” channel Aurora using a stylised, Australia shape as part of their logo several years back. Not the best quality image in the world, but I couldn’t find any bigger:
For a period of time, the “map” element of that old Aurora logo was used largely on it’s own in station IDs and the watermark. Now I’m not saying that WIN should directly rip off that old idea of Aurora’s, but I’d still use it as a decent example of how you can somewhat elegantly incorporate a map of Australia in TV branding!

I just don’t know…
I just can’t… wow…
I’m speechless. 
I wondered how long before we started getting South East Asia style watermarks… that question has been answered
I don’t know any country having their country as a watermark lol
The most annoying part is how the HD part doesn’t line up

HD watermark has returned to WA, in wrong position and timed incorrectly as usual.[/quote]I wonder why the ‘HD’ addition has never been used down here. Is it because they think it’s so obvious it’s not HD as the quality is that bad or something?

New Ten watermark with a Santa hat[/quote]It might be a bit hard for you guys, but take note WIN! This is an example of how you do your watermarking.

WIN and this certainly don’t go together.
