View Full Version : Daniel Eatock 'Shocked' By Negative Eye Response
Hey, i was reading the official entertainment msn space.
Apparently daniel eatock left a comment.
Here is his response to the negativity of the eye logo:
As I designed the logo for the new series of Big Brother, I did`nt realise it would have this much of an effect on people. I have been surfing the various Big Brother Forums and 50% of the members say they hate it while others are completley on the other side, and say they love it. When the teasers and the graphics start airing across Channel 4, I`m sure people will love it. I know I do! I did`nt realise this eye would have this effect on people. It was designed to make the new series fun. Its different I know but you will forget about the eye come the end of the series.

I bet it will be brill when the teasers start
Heres the whole article:
Big Brother 8
The countdown to Big Brother 8 has begun. Unbelieveably, there is less than a month to go before you're a) cancelling plans for the summer and being glued to E4 live streaming or b) banishing Channel 4 from your house until Spring.
For those of you in the former group, a few BB8 secrets have been revealed in today’s tabloids including details of a ‘Heaven and Hell’ task. As the name implies, some housemates will live like royalty, while others will apparently be forced to live outside, in rain, hail or, as is quite likely, glorious sunshine. According to rumours, there will also be a ‘caravan of love’ parked in the garden to encourage intimacy between randy housemates, and a not-so-secret garden hidden behind a door.
Also today, the Big Brother 8 logo has been unveiled, a tweak of the show’s basic ‘eye’ logo. How wrong can you get such a simple logo? Pretty darn wrong by the looks of the new multicoloured eye – check out the picture in the gallery, top right.
According to the designer Daniel Eatock, the brief was to “embrace all colours within the spectrum, opposites, complimentaries and all the shades in between.” The different colours are said to represent the different elements of society, which seems to me to be a very misguided bid to appease protestors of Celebrity Big Brother’s treatment of Shilpa Shetty. A multicoloured logo to portray a multicoloured Big Brother? How naff.
What do you think of the logo? Are you looking forward to June 1 and the return of Big Brother? Let me know.
UPDATE: Interesting to see that the designer of the new colourful logo, Daniel Eatock, has posted a couple of comments on this blog, where he admits he's surprised that the logo has divided opinion as much as it has. Click on 'Read comments' below to see what he has to say.
Awww poor Daniel. He obviously reads this forum id say. I LOVE THE EYE!!!
Our poor humble eye designer!
I say I hate. Im glad hes shocked.

I don't think it's that horrible an eye. I admit I don't love it, but I don't see why there's such a huge fuss over it. I reckon the colourfulness adds an element of positivity - and as mentioned in the statement, I think it'll be cool to watch in the opening titles etc.

I think its a wicked eye, and I think people are making such a big deal out of it, for no reason:sleep:

Well it's his thought of designing a really crap eye.
Wait a minuet , its just a COMMENT on the article???

How do we know it isnt someone pretending to be him?
I think people have to cut him a bit of slack as well, people forget that the eye isnt completely his own idea. He's given a brief to base the eye on, and that was to include every single colour. So people cant really criticise him for that but I still dont like the eye as I think its too basic and a bit tacky
I said it might be someone pretending to be him but oh well i just thought it would be interesting to post

I didn't actually think this eye was real at first. It looks very fan-made.

Yeah cheers for posting mate :thumbs:.
But as its merely a comment. Whooo. Cant be believeing it. Its more than likely from a symphatizer of the eye.
Even the blog editors call it "naff" and say that its gone very wrong.

Exactly, personally, they should have gone with Telefans green one.
I was also told this eye was from Lampy.

I think the house will have a retro theme and thats why they have the "testcard" theme

i think it is a fantasitic eye! better than bb7, the only reaseon we say that bb7 one is better is because we havent seen the adverts or anything yet...trust, we will grow to like it, it has much otential with graphics and is representing and FINNALY fun big brother!!!!:bouncy::spin2:
I think its bound to be very controversial. You either love it hate it or have no opinion of it whatsoever. Those who love it, really love it, those who hate it, really hate it.
I think its the fact that it looks sooo different to anything weve ever seen before, and the fact that it does look fan made

ITs only the logo. Im starting to think this series has got BB4 written all over it and if it flops part of me will laugh.

I'm glad Danie is shocked, his eye is so rubbish and weird. Next year, he will make something much better.

It's only an eye. I'm getting an impression here that people think the eye is going to make it a good or bad series...it isn't. I like the eye. I just think it's different. That's why some people are hating it. I bet it will grow on yee. It's a colourful eye for a colourful series as far as I'm concerned.
:spin2:
If Daniel does read this forum I have something to say:
It is awful! Absolutely awful! I have loved all your previous efforts, but I have to say this takes the biscuit! Please change it if it's not too late!

Thank you Matt, Sam and me agree too, you speak for england, you're genius !!!!
My thoughts for Daniel:
In my opinion, its embarrasingly bad. You should be ashamed! All the past eyes have to stuck a similar theme and thats why they've been so succesful, im really sorry to say it but I think its your worst one yet. If you think this is acceptable you should be sacked
but this is only my opinion, so people who do like it, dont have a go at me

He Could of Designed a Better Eye
I think the people who dont like it should start a petition. lol

C'mon guys, at first I hated it. I am just going to have to get used to it. If we're real fans of Big Brother we won't let the poorly designed eye affect the progam. I know we'll have to see it practically everyday but like, I suppose it's not that bad. Better could have been achieved, but I think we all need to ACCEPT that this is going to be the eye, and we're going to have to live with it. :thumbs:
#Eatock will have searched the forums out of pure curiosity and im sure hes searched this one to gather peoples opinions. So this could be true and i hope it is, i hope he is disappointed with the feedback
Petition is a good idea :)

But this is a big thing to a lot of BB Fans, a great eye gets people into the mood and a poor eye gets people quite sad and dissapointed . People who have waited ages for the eye have been dissapointed with the eye and it kind of ruins the excitement a bit for some people
Who likes my new sig? (Press ctrl & f5 if you can't see it :)

Ahhhh Matt, ever hear the expression? "Dont judge a book by it's cover"...just because you think the eye is crap, doesnt mean the series is going to be...
JOSHUAH!
09-05-2007, 08:19 PM
My goodness, Im shocked! I cant believe people dislike the eye so much. Why was BB7's any better? 2 colours? a swirl. In my opinion this eye is the best ever, colourful, fun, in your face! The graphics and teasers MUST turn you haters into lovers!!

Never said anything about the series. Im talking about how much I hate the eye.

By the way iMatt, the eye in your sig does look bad, cause its got that 3d ness to it. The official one looks better :spin2:

Oh okay, I just had a look at your sig and I thought you ruled the series out completely because you thought the eye was rubbish. My mistake and sincere apologies.

I'm actually warming up to the eye. :)

I think asking "everyone" to grow up was a bit much, it's just certain people. OK, you're entitled to not like the eye, but Daniel Eatock has put alot of work into this and he does have feelings...just my opinion...

Your a new member and your already startting to cause conflict. I don't really mind if people don't like the eye, everyone is intitled to their own opinion. I personally think this eye, has warmed really well to me. It'll still have to make an even bigger impact on my Big Brother as a whole, but it's seems okay to me.

Yes, also welcome to the forum. Hope to see you around :)
Okay okay why can't we all just calm down!!!!!!!!!!
It's a logo it's not like it's gonna affect the series in anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!
This series will either be good or bad the eye will have no affect!!!!!!!!!!!
We will probably still get the nikiis and the graces.
Come on stop being SO negative and let's get ready for possibly the best series yet:colour:

phild, I like your comment on there about it not being origional. Whilst I love the new eye, I agree with your comment, it is a bit obviously a clone of bbc's testcard. Hence my avatar.

At least the BB4 eye was easier on the eye (hope that makes sense!)
Eatock should be ashamed of himself.

I think you can't please everyone as most people have different taste in colours. Atleast this is one way of pleasing most people including all the colours. At the end of the day it is ONLY an eye and I don't think people will loose sleep nor will it effect how big brother runs lol.

Agreed! I really am not liking this eye at all. Anyone could make this eye on paint. I bet my nephew could make a better eye. Hopefully Dan's learned his lesson for making a cr** eye this year. :cloud:

As opposed to not been able to make the Big brother 5 or 6 eyes on paint? is it bad because its simple?
I'm not against have a multicoloured eye, I just think it could have been executed better.
And if you don't like it, join the club! (I mean it - click my 'I hate the eye!' banner in my sig for more info!)
