Television Presentation Thread

[RegularCapital]

Welcome to the Television Presentation Thread, an off-shoot of the successful General International TV Channels Thread. Both U.S. and International television presentation can be posted here.

Television Presentation is an unappreciated and overlooked art, even though it improves the whole television viewing experience as it generates viewers' interest in the programming. This includes idents, banners, rebrands, on-screen graphics (DOGs), promos, announcements/continuity and title sequences. This thread is dedicated to the analysis and appreciation of broadcast design in all its forms. We encourage you to share examples, discuss the effectiveness of new (and old) branding, and explore the history of television presentation from across the globe. With the rise of streaming, it's slowly fading away as a lost art, hopefully this thread will help preserve it.

I think this thread will tie in quite nicely with The Drawing Board, as I can see a few "Mocks" have been made previously.

Here are a few resources that are helpful:

Audiovisual Identity Database (AVID) (U.S. and International)
The Ident Gallery (Mostly a UK Archive)
TVArk (UK Archive, especially for older presentation, and some U.S. too)
Lenodal (An extensive archive from France)
Behance (Some official TV presentation portfolios are posted there, but also mocks)
Vimeo (Some official TV presentation portfolios are posted there, but also mocks)

For a start, I don't think that The Drawing Board can be used for TV channel mocks. Also, I think this was created because Pres Cafe is no longer working outside of the UK because of new access restrictions.

Some users who make TV channel mocks make other stuff as well. My thread, BCNB02's Arts, is an example: along with TV mocks I made ident recreations, avatars and banners.

Do old looks count? If so, here's info about TVP2's 1997-2000 made by Kompania Telewizyjna ITC from the latter company's site: TVP2

ITC was responsible for ad break bumpers of TVP channels during similar period (both used and rejected ones) as seen in their old portfolio site: Gotowe !

I also think so (?)

Since we talk of presentation, time to link that one time that Benzie Johnson (very underrated youtuber, in my opinion) did a critique on Sony AXN Germany's branding. (Critiques that I agree with, honestly?)


My beloved pointless rebrand that few days ago would have turned six if it still was around.
(I also want to believe that if India still had AXN, it would have landed there too, because I still think that making a full blown rebrand for use it in a single country is still... wack. (Sony Channel LATAM's recoloured graphics withstanding, considering that one is the last one standing.))

Although it's not The Drawing Board's primary purpose (as it's mostly for things like character designs and other animation work, considering this is a forum primarily about animation it does make a lot of sense), it can be used for anything art and design based, and as mentioned there are already some mocks on there already as television is already discussed quite a lot. The geoblock restrictions on Pres Cafe wasn't the only reason why this thread was created.

Yes, any continuities, new and old, and from any YouTube channel can be posted here.

Many consider TVN's 2002 graphics package, created by the German agency Velvet, to be the best in the channel's history.

I think the first Polish commercial TV website I visited (from the BBC's country profiles) was TVN's and it had that three-note jingle on its website. Later I also visited Polsat's before the rebrand, I thought Wydarzenia was called Wyzardenia lmao

That's one of my favorite graphics I grew up with next to TVP1's graphics from 2004-10.

Found back one cool Polish page that focuses only on music channels presentation.

Prezentacje kanałów muzycznych | ITIZAPS.net

Nasz serwis to miejsce w którym odnajdziesz prezentacje kanałów muzycznych dostępnych na rynku telewizyjnym.

www.itizaps.net

Also, while not focused on that (and also an abandoned project, as far I know), alexmusic.net - Television Pages is an archive of satellite movements and screenshots that go with those. There are some rarities in there!

Likely designed by German agency FEEDMEE Design, VIVA TV's 2004 graphics package initially featured exclusively solid colors before later transitioning to gradients.

I think I have a vague idea of that branding? But then again I remember that below the bug they announced the next program, and during commercials they aired SMS line commercials for ringtones etc. I didn't catch the early Jamba commercials there because I think these aired a lot on SIC and TVI at the end of the year, including other commercials for other providers.

Little did I know that these eventually became a scam, especially Jamba.
