Hi Freya,

The Channel 4 branding is superb. I particularly like how their individual style guides are available for download through the website.

I am not familiar with the ones before 1988 so interesting to see. Would be great to see the other channels logo development too, I think bbc2 and channel 4 are doing great things, also, not a channel, but noticed the F1 logo the other week when watching the racing, thought it was fab, wish I had thought of it!

Just for completeness the 1997 version was designed by Martin Lambie-Nairn with guidelines by the now no more Rodney Fitch (both design businesses as opposed to individuals).

Here’s hoping this new week brings a new lease of well-being, Cat.

Amanda,

Are there some other 1988 designs you had in mind for bad taste? Could make for a nice blog post. ;)

You know I think every single version of it is a good solid design without breaking away from it’s core look and feel.

Except for the 1988 version – which you can forgive, as this was a time of extreme bad taste in all matters of design, lol ;)

I’m a little bit dodgy about the 1962 version as well.

Excellent insight. The one by Michael Peters looks very calm and classic. chaitanya vrk's last blog post...Google Chrome - New Open Source Browser From Google

@David, yeah, a little, but still legible with good eye-sight, lol.

“Some detail becomes lost at 16×16″

Agreed.

“Hope you’re well”

I’m still working through the process…
