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:


Quote:

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.

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!

Sam 09-05-2007 07:14 PM

I say I hate. Im glad hes shocked.

Bells 09-05-2007 07:15 PM

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.

Chrizzle 09-05-2007 07:16 PM

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

MarkWaldorf 09-05-2007 07:16 PM

Well it's his thought of designing a really crap eye.

Stu 09-05-2007 07:17 PM

Wait a minuet , its just a COMMENT on the article???

Phh its probably not even form Daniel!!!!!!!

Arneldo 09-05-2007 07:17 PM

How do we know it isnt someone pretending to be him?

Sam 09-05-2007 07:17 PM

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

Sam 09-05-2007 07:18 PM

I said it might be someone pretending to be him but oh well i just thought it would be interesting to post

MarkWaldorf 09-05-2007 07:19 PM

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.

Sam 09-05-2007 07:20 PM

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.

Scarlett. 09-05-2007 07:22 PM

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

mozzymozmoz 09-05-2007 07:22 PM

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:

Sam 09-05-2007 07:25 PM

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

Lemo 09-05-2007 07:25 PM

awwwh poor guy :pat:

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.

Captain.Remy 09-05-2007 07:30 PM

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