Nine (WIN)

opps i meant the map my bad lol

i love the current water mark win is using at the moment:) hope win never goes out of recovery mode lol

Each to their own, but I personally think it looks horrible.

If WIN really want a map of Australia as part of their logo displayed in the corner of the screen, surely they can at least make it transparent?! :confused:

I don’t, because that would mean no more HD content on Ten (at least until their back-up playout systems have been upgraded anyway).

WIN’s mappy watermark was transparent back when it was a Nine affiliate a few years ago, don’t understand why it has to be solid blue with Ten.

What can’t they just have a grey transparent WIN, or even better just a flash of a solid WIN after the commercial break that dissolves into the regular 10 watermark.

As I believe @WAtvVideos pointed out when the blue blob was originally launched in December 2016, there could be a number of understandable reasons why WIN want the map of Australia to be part of their branding. Maybe it creates a more local feel to the regional network, or reasonates well with “country Aussie battler” viewers & advertisers.

If the “map of Australia” logo was implimented consistently in the On-Air Presentation of WIN with it being a transparent logo in the corner of the screen during programs, I suspect more people on Media Spy would accept that element as part of WIN’s branding.

I agree, the mish mash of different logos is as big an issue as the intrusiveness of the previous blue “Mappy” logo (the newer one isn’t as bad).

what about a really light watermark across the entire screen so you can still see the program, but if you look closely, you can see mappy - much like some businesses have their logo as a watermark on a printed page

Please don’t let that happen.

It’s unlikely… I think its way too advanced from a technological perspective for the management and production teams at WIN

The mappy WIN logo wouldn’t look so bad if it wasn’t geographically perfect. It needs to look like a proper logo. It looks cheap and tacky.

The Thoracic Society has a map of Australia that looks like a W - that would fit so much nicer than what they have now

Great initiative by WIN. Very thoughtfully produced.

That’s actually really good.

Having said that, WIN’s simple special event idents have form. Weren’t the Christmas ones okay (from memory)?

This logo transparent watermark is reminiscent to the one in 2011 with WIN Network being affiliated with the Nine Network.
