I know I said I wouldn't do it... but we're taking a look at CHANNEL 4's logo history! And also the logo history of CHANNEL 5! And we pose the question, is Channel 5 ripping off Channel 4 in the logo department...?

#channel4 #channel5 #logohistory

[Remake]

Channel 4: You copied me

Channel 5: No I did not, mine ends in a 5.

[glassowlie]

As soon as Channel 5 rebranded, WEWS-TV stole the 2011 logo on coloured it blue.

[samwyatt]

Don’t forget the channel 5 logo changed more frequently due to ownership changes.

[ToraVanguard]

I really like that this is becoming a series, part of me hopes to see you cover CBBC and CITV someday, they've got some really varied looks from over the years!

[rhodrage]

I always found it funny they they just named the channels."4, " and "5."

[NosteralGaming]

I always assumed channel 5 was related/owned by channel 4, just based on the current logo’s resemblance

[RatzaChewy]

The increase of the negative space in the 2015 Channel 4 logo was to increase legibility at small sizes (web, basically). They found a happy medium with the current one.

[TeleviseGuy]

For me, the logo for Channel 4 looks like a simplified representation of a bridge

[Sheffield_Steve]

I know the Channel 4 logo/ident was brought to us in 1982, but it's amazing that after being squeezed into circles and the blocks being shoved into roadsigns, etc. and whatever the f**k that dancing neanderthal creature was! It shows that you can't f**k with this branding. It's like trying to mess around with the MTV logo or something just as iconic!

[chrisnichols]

I prefer the original logo...especially the circle within a box version...as the D.O.G it just was so neat in the top left corner of the screen

Channel 5 is actually emerging as a decent channel - and has come a long way from its low budget, wobbly beginnings - back in 1997. It has alot of good programmes now.

Unfortunately the same can't be said for Channel Four, which has become increasingly tacky and vulgar over the last decade. More 4 is infinitely better than its older sibling.

I always think the main Channel 4 as being very odd these days. It's a channel stuffed with tat, raucous (not very funny) comedy, and just quite alot of rubbish programmes. All this exists around a serious in-depth, quality News programme. But this has been the case for many years now. All the interesting, thought provoking programmes are now on More 4, while Channel 4 itself gets the junk, and the bits More 4 doesn't want.

Channel Five is a much more 'balanced' channel now. With Five Extra filling the 'More 4' role, though not quite aswell.

Overall the main Channel 5 is imo, better now than the main Channel 4. You couldn't say this five years ago. Channel 5 is looking good, but Channel 4 needs a bit of a 'shake up'.

[BugsBunnyandArchieMcIvor]

I think Channel 4 & Channel 5 are rivals I’m not sure

[F_scholze]

Well it's been 7 years so it's about time 5 has a rebrand

[steeviebops]

The revamped Channel 4 logo in the early 90s did make it into the Channel 4 News titles for a while, but it was replaced with the original.

[ErinStephanie-mfqk]

In the 80s and 90s, Channel 4, was a pretty radical and leftfield station. That was pushing boundaries, that other channels couldn’t. And then in the 00s, under pressure from advertisers, it’s idea of ‘radical programming’, degenerated into stuff that insisted on punching down at people. It was positioning itself as ‘anti woke’, long before the opposite term. was in common usage. Then came online platforms like YT, which enabled people to do exactly the stuff C4 used to do, but without the permission of a C4 programming commissioner. You could now make ‘programmes’ yourself. Like Adam does.

As for C5, it’s slightly improved. Even if some otherwise pretty decent documentaries, on past British weather events and overviews of past years, are slightly spoilt by the presence of several Murdoch hack talking heads, asserting ‘their spin’, on events they pretend they remembered.

[KyleJBAwesomeness-OfficialChan]

To be honest I don't think Viacom/Paramount-owned Channel 5 is being a Channel 4 carbon copy that much. I mean both channels have their numeral logos made out of different shape blocks.

[Reurovision]

always happy to see an adam martyn TV channel video! i watch most of them on my TV :)

[MrBreadman]

The current Ch5 logo always reminds me of toasted bread popping in and out of a toaster...

[PelinalDidNothingWrong]

Dear Channel 4. More Don't Hug Me I'm Scared please

[MediaCentUK]

Yes its a cheap version of the iconic Channel 4 logo except that on the 4 theres 9 pieces & on the 5 there's literally 5 pieces!!
