What did a scanned fingerprint mean? Or a shattered bit of glass? Or a TV test card?

lmao. It does perplex me, this, every year, trying to work out some kind of grand scheme of things behind some middle-aged bloke's design he got £500 for.

The fingerprint was about identity, which was why a lot of the tasks were about different cultures etc.

Pretty dump really

Oh come on, you don't really believe that.

In that case what about Big Brother 8 with it's revolutionary Racial Harmony card? :joker:

Im happy not to give a Jean claude van DAMN.

The themes are not what BB is about to me.

I think its to do with time running out.
I just hope the eye is a Daniel Eye, and its looking likely..

I got word from someone that it is a Eatock Eye and now this teaser looks like the work of a eatock eye graphic if you get me?

I Just hope the eye itself fits in with the graphics and opening titles and the next few adverts to come.

I hope they look good, tbh I now have the impression the house and that will be grey and dull like clogs.

:joker::joker:

No way.

In that case what was BB7s Gold Swirls about?
Why did BB9s eye look as if someone hit with a brick?

The reason the BB10 Task where those **** culture ones EVERY WEEK Was because they clearly couldnt be arsed thinking of new task and bought a few flags and decorated the garden every week with a new country and recylced the mini tasks.

Instead of singing in Greek it would be in Italian.
Instead of delivering Fast Food from the UK it would be Greek Food.

ETC

As unreliable as 'sources' can be, multiple sources have all said Eatock has done 6-7 designs, and they were deciding on 1, which would pretty much confirm it.

It would also confirm that the eye theme really has nothing to do with the series theme.

Cogs you mean and it's actually quite a good idea, time's running out for BB on channel 4, the end of the show is near etcetera.

TBH BB7s eye was quite revealing of the series;
the Golden Ticket comp and the fact that the series was billed as "Big Brother Gets Twisted"

That was the only time a theme was in active play before the series even began though. Most of the time the eye has nothing to do with a series.

Im trying to discuss Big Brother with fellow forum members, This is my happy time.

Thanks Zippy.

the real problem is that the producers have no ideas anymore, and havent since BB7
tbh i think the theme should just be "Asylum"
and get some right nutters in

No one you dolt.
I didnt say I WANT TO Im just saying its a possibility.

Honestly I've been into a lot of BB Threads today and your there like a negative rain cloud just saying..

'Yeah but I Dont care'
'She can put it up her arse'
'Couldnt give a damn'
'Who knows, just wait'


FFS

Some of us want do discuss it, if you dont know or dont care.
Walk away and do somthing else.

Oh aye, my post was nothing against you. You are a breath of fresh air. But Paddy reminds me of myself a few years ago. I know exactly where he is coming from with his aesthetic minded posts and whacky imagination. Also I believe we both happen to share the whole manic depressive thing.

Oh and I am really drunk right now.

I think the cogs could represent time; time as in: time running out, time's gone fast, go back in time to an older series or maybe even time of the series is near.

James
24-04-2010, 01:53 AM
The eye design has never had anything to do with the what happens in the show, apart from: series 1 - overall theme of Big Brother, series 5 - evil and 7 - same colour as golden ticket promotion.

Well yeah, it makes sence an persons finger print and their culture is what makes them. Hence all the french, greek, american etc tasks

The BB8 was the numbers which appeared during the opening titles, and the time travel task.
idk about the eye :tongue:

That's not what the eye was designed for though, it's a coincidence. In that case you could twist the fingerprint to fit any possible meaning you wanted.

The BB10 eye had nothing whatsoever to do with the series.

I think the idea of 3D slick 'cogs' graphics will work well as a teaser, and remember the teasers aren't always exactly representative of the 2D Eatock eye itself. They get the idea of 'time' across easily, and there are probably more ways in which this could be shown through the rest of the theme :)

How epic is this though:

"Big Brother: The End of Time"

:joker: Yes they are!

When have they ever not been?

The CBB7 Flame Teasers were to do with the eye.
The BB8 Multi Coloured Flashes were to do with the eye.
The BB9 Shattered Teasers were to do with the eye.
The BB10 3D Things flying about was the eye.
The BB7 Gold Swirl Teasers were the eye design.
And so on.

And so on.

You missed my point,
What i meant was that the teasers don't always look exactly like the 2D Eatock design. i.e:

BB10 teaser was a 3D graphic of the eye smothered in random technical print, very futuristic looking, and different to the very simplistic fingerprint 2D design.

BB9:There was shattered glass and everything in the teaser but it didn't show the eye in it's true form.

BB8: The teaser showed a glossy 3D eye made of different blocks slotting together and turning like a lock, which didn't actually relate much to the end 'tv test card' idea, did it?

You've just said that the teasers 'were about' the eye' ??
My point was just that the teasers are usually a bigged-up more interactive version of the 2D Eatock design aimed to drum up excitement. So the supposed 3D cogs teaser might not be all that similar to the final eye.

Anyone have any ideas how they could integrate a cog into an eye design creatively?

SOME NEWS!! FROM IBB

Before I start, I’m not an insider. I just have contacts.

May launch is happening, but I stress it isn’t 30th! 23rd ;) . (Note Embarrassing Bodies and Facejacker both finish airing on 21st May).

The campaign is going to be the same as usual but with a new part of the campaign (think BB5/7), check Davina’s Twitter- a few hints on a pic there ;) . Very nostalgic. The campaign is going to be short and snappy this time to gain instant hype instead of being drawn out and hype tailing off. First adverts will air in first week of May.
