The BB14 Eye

[Patrick]

Reckon it's been designed yet? :amazed:

[Jake.]

Yeah, hopefully :D

[JohnnyBB]

yeah it should be staff got there shift sheets yesterday!

[Jarrod]

At a guess, expect a reveal in the next three-four weeks.

[Jarrod]

yeah it should be staff got there shift sheets yesterday!
They use a default template on Staff stuff.

[Tregard]

Aaah you got me excited there :(

[Patrick]

Wonder what it'll be like :love: I hope they change from the BB13 Style of the coloured cubes. Whilst I adored the BB13 Eye, they better not get complacent and think they can just switch colours around every series.

[Marc]

I reckon we'll see it in 2 months

[Jake.]

I'd love a green coloured eye or something :love:

[Marsh.]

They'll probably design it on a napkin during their coffee break. Like all the others. :laugh:

[Marsh.]

This forum's been hoping for green for the last 13 years. Lol.

I Know that im just saying in genral all staff got there shift times and things yesterday.

[Marc]

It needs to be white tbh

[Patrick]

How do you know Johnny?

[Jarrod]

Yeah, the eye isn't on it.

[EddyEagal]

It's probably finished and I'd expect to see it quite soon?

[Glenn.]

This.

Do you remember telefans green logo :love:

[Jarrod]

It's probably finished and I'd expect to see it quite soon?
If they go by the same schedule as last year, the Eye was released in the first week of May - So expect it then

[swinearefine]

Can't wait to see what shade of clouds they've selected xx

I'm guessing a red cloud theme this year :lovedup:



:idc:

[Marsh.]

They might go for.... clear skies.

[Jack_]

I want a red eye :love: gold would be nice again though

[JohnnyBB]

How do you know Johnny?

@Mikespurs
Just Got My Shifts for @BBUK Cant wait to get back to the fun house this summer will be good.

[Patrick]

The BB7-type eye I made a while back, to tie in with the new template:

And I agree with Jack, would adore a Red Eye! But I want Red for BB15, as I have an idea in my head that BB15 needs to be all evil and twisted, to mark the 10 Year Anniversary of BB5. :lovedup:

[Jake.]

That was a great design of yours Patrick :love:

[Patrick]

Aw thank you. :)

[Gstar]

A green eye would be :love:

[DigitalSid]

If they did a green eye (which is hard to get right, I dislike most fan designs in that colour, only telefan's really pulled it off) then they'd only use it to do a jealousy / envy theme which would probably mean another house divide.

[JohnnyBB]

red or blue or maybe green and red eye

[@bbuk_fans]

Maybe they'll do something like the BB AU eye, although it's quite similar to the original eye template for bb12

[Patrick]

green and red eye

Ew Christmassy.

[Sawyer]

I want a brand new eye, not based on the usual channel 5 template. It's a shame, because the logo was made with the channel 5 logo in mind, the whole circle thing going on. It shouldn't be like that, it restricts their creativity so much.

Exactly!

It may of been 'okay' for 2011 if they wanted to go for that branding to tie in with their new logo, fair enough - but they obviously didn't think it through long term.

The old Eatock Design gave them so, so, so much room for bending the design about every year and letting the design and creativity run wild. Now they're stuck with a boring eye template for good.

Which is a shame, because Daniel Eatock [as most of us know] submitted a BB12 Eye and they declined it - all because they wanted to have an eye that would look pretty in their silly little idents and break bumpers.

[reece(:]

They really need to start thinking outside the box, and that's not just for the eye.

[Jake.]

I know :( and the thing was, with a bit of work, it could have been amazing and it could have been part of a theme. With CH5's eyes for Big Brother, they don't represent what each series holds, and it will be hard for them to do so in the future.

You mean this one?

http://i50.tinypic.com/fvfkt4.jpg

Omg, there's so much they could of done with that. Ink blots going into liquid and forming the eye... and the design is actually based on this deep psychological thing (I can't remember the name of it) but it's where you look at there 'ink blots', in this case, the eye, and different people will see different things. What they see reveals their state of mind and what kind of person they are, which would be an amazing because thats what the show is about, or was about, atleast.

They could of incoroprated secret messages in the adverts, branding and everything. It could of been the best set of graphics for BB. But no, we got this...

http://trashlounge.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/bb-logo.jpg

[Patrick]

With the exception of maybe CBB11, but I genuinely think that's as far as they can go - unless they burnt the eye and went for an evil theme.

Ugh :(
I never even thought of it like that, they could of gone for a whole BB7 type approach with the titles and everything.

[Sawyer]

Exactly. They need someone at the helm with a little creativity. They need Shirley Jones.

Does anyone remember how we had just had the lowest rated pile of crap, a series average of 2.5m with BB10? Then Shirley Jones produces her first series since the BB5 revamp (which viewers flooded back to aswell) and made CBB7, which had some of the highest ratings since 2007. That series launched with 6.7m.

Or they'd use green purely for the sake of using the colour green and it wouldn't have any theme/meaning beyond being decorative like 90% of the other eyes.

[DigitalSid]

I'm not saying that the eyes inspire or suggest the theme, just that they might not be able to resist linking the green eye to a green-eyed monster theme, you know what lazy tv arty types are like with gimmicks.

[joe199998293]

They may have not gone with the eatock eye because of the 'Orbit' (Eye stage) and they couldn't be bothered making a new stage for BB13 so they used the template again. Since they are changing it, maybe they will use a new template.

That eye was submitted for the first Channel 5 series, BB12, so the stage probably hadn't even been hired at that point.

[*mazedsalv**]

We need an eye which is completely different and doesn't stick to the channel 5 template. I agree with a green eye. Also, advertising and eye wise I thought the build up to CBB7 was the best. The fire and everything... it ended up doing very well for Channel 4. (3.7m official).

Just looked at the comments, Patrick your comments :D

I like this dude, just echoed everything I said a few posts ago... great minds think alike.

[lostalex]

They should get rid of the eye logo, it's so 2000 and late. Allof the cool big brothers just use text and a little house logo now.

The eye takes a big part in Big Brother's identity.

They do mate. But I guess we can't take it all for granted. I'm full Italian and have Italian TV at my family home and in 12 years they haven't changed the eye design once. And I'm sure they have only changed the house design once or twice. :p

Yes, let's make our Big Brother as boring and bland as all the others! :amazed: Oh wait no, we're not American.

[reece(:]

To be fair the "others" are actually better than our BB at the moment, hopefully the UK one can up the game in June.

Thank you for acknowledging that important truth Patrick, you are NOT American. :)

sucks for you.

Anyone else think lostalex is the perfect example of the arrogant stereotypical American the world knows and loathes? :lovedup:

I meant graphic wise. :laugh: Don't get me wrong, BB Canada pisses over BBUK in alot of elements right now.

[reece(:]

I'd say these channel 5 Primark style graphics are on par with the international so they really can't get any worse anyway... hopefully :laugh:

What does it say about you then Patrick, you're more loathed than me, and you're not even American. lol

At least I have an excuse.

[emmetmcl]

If Channel 5 have any sense they would go back to using the old Eatock eye.

It was a big mistake to get rid of it in the first place.
Everyone knows what it represents, all you have to do is show someone a picture of the old eye template and 99% of people know what it is, the new one - not so much.

Exactly. They ruined a decade's worth of branding for nothing. They could of put simple 3 second eye flashes on other channels had they of stayed with the old template, and people would of known it was coming back.
No one has a clue what the new eye really looks like, or cares for that matter.

Also - in school last year, we were shown different logos for companies and stuff, and the BB8 eye came up on screen and every single person in my year knew what it was from, and most people in my year don't even watch Big Brother. So it just shows how much that template stuck in people's minds whether they watched it or not.


I love that!

Thank you :)

Exactly, the branding and advertising had basically already been done. That's the point in buying a TV format instead of making your own. Most people who never watch Big Brother know the eye, the theme and Marcus Bentely. Two of those can only be used with audio.

With they eye, they lose the ability to do "eye-flashes," print advertising, etc.

OMG IS THIS THE NEW EYE IS IT BLUE AND SILVER?

I don't think they will use the blocks again.

[Kizzy]

they should have an eye that has an @ in it, and utilise facebook or twitter to make BB more interactive maybe?

[emmetmcl]

Really do hope they don't use the blocks again.

I presume they'll use the same basic design for the year and change it slightly for the Celeb series, like they did last year.

[Jake.]

Doubt they will go with the blocks again, probably a different design for the summer, add a star for the following celebrity series and make it wintery themed for the January CBB

[Patrick]

Please don't encourage them on this whole 'the fans like social media more than live feed!' bollocks, they've got going on.

[Kizzy]

Not instead of, as well as obv. it would be good to have some fan based influence in other aspects of BB other than the evictions. Just little votes and polls here and there that affect shopping budgets or durations of tasks?
Might make it appeal to a new or younger audience.
