We know mate. It's been like that since the Boxing Day test match.

its a good coverup for the dotty 9 logo if Win was going to get the dots they would have done same time as 9 for the wwos logo looks better then 2 water marks over the top of each other wouldn't look so good
might as well go back to just having the nine wwos logo and forget havingf win version dunno why win even bothered having the 9 wws logo all those years cold have put win on top of 9 wm simialar to Prime wm on top of 7 sport wm win dosn't have to be big just a bit smaller then there Normal WM

If I interpreted it correctly... Andyt31 was implying that IF the WIN Network was going to adopt the dots, they would have placed a dotted WWOS watermark on, during the Cricket clean feed. However, since they didn't, it's a clear indication that they won't be implementing a dotted logo on Monday. Andy, please confirm if this is indeed what you were trying to say.

Might be a nice idea to move on..

What do we think Nine are going to do with their watermark post-relaunch? I hope they don't go back to the old HD one..

It changed depending on location, Sydney seemed smaller but much brighter. These caps were from Channel Nine Melbourne.

I like Nine's new watermark. The edge effect on it is nice. Just lower the opacity. And as mentioned in the other thread the HD logo needs to be changed. have HD under or above not next to as its too long.

I think if they did it in CBS style, that is dark with the bevelling to add depth and more transparent it would be great. At the moment it is way too bright.

Here is a watermark comparison from all 3 commercial HD Channels.
Nine's is almost twice the length.

Plus the HD lacks the outline effect of the dotty. They don't match!

The Nine HD watermark is different:

Still 4:3 safe

Nine had this ridiculous watermark during CSI (cap thanks to McDigital on the DTV Forums):
