The eye is iconic - add a few extra eyelashes maybe but there's no real need to completely change it.
Even the BB6 eye was based on the usual template - Daniel Eatock just did something a bit more different with it.
The only one that's really been different is the BB5 eye - but I'm sure even that was based on the original template in some shape or form.

So its best to keep it that way for each future series just to keep everything similar in the Eyes department?
I think a whole new eye would actually loose ratings for the simple reason the softcore fans won't recognise it. Fickle viewers won't know what it stands for when they see a new eye on a billboard especially becuase they haven't even put the words Big brother on their billboards for years just the eye.
I say give it a whole new look. If Daniel came up with a whole new template and design and iyo it was the best Eye you had ever seen, would it bother you that he;d changed the template

I don't think he could come up with a better template. The eye suits the UK version anyway. Glossy, polished, interesting, unusual and different. Apart from that I couldn't see what the advertising/opening titles/graphics would go by.
EDIT: To show how much other versions are impressed by it, it's now the second most used template (After the origional from 1999) around the world. Although they mostly just copy the 6th eye.
|
He might not be allowed to change it anyway? he could be under inastruction from Endemol to keep it that way for all kinds of reasons which none of us will ever be aware of
I am not saying its not used much, Im saying it could be changed thats all, Daniel could shock us this year with a whole new Eye and template. I heard that this year could be the last big brother unless the ratings improve vastly and if a whole new Eye design and template becomes a big talking point, that can only do more good than halm in the long run I would have thought
|
I think a new eye would actually loose ratings simply because soft core fans wouldn't recognise it it. Fickle veiwers wouldn't know what it would stand for if they saw it on a bill board especially as they don't even put words on the bill bords just they eye.
|
Sorry I disagree. I think changing it to something completely new would get fans talking and after all, the Eye is only a fraction of importance in compared to the 13 week event that is big brother (9)
|
Doesn't matter how long it is if you don't get viewers at the start its very hard to recover.
|
How would a changed template sway viewers from watching (9)? indeed how would a bad Eye design from Daniel even do that. I think thats silly really, I watch big brother because its a great show I dont think many care that much for the Eye really, only fans like you fiond on here and other big brother fan sites but even them wont stop watching because of the Eye change
Launch night is always popular, so I have heard
|
Don't twist my words I never said a bad or new I would sway viewers not to watch. I said that fickle fans or newer fans wouldn't recognise it on ads billbords, ect. because usually C4 never put words to go with the eye.

A new look ie, a new template would mean a whole new concept and Endemol, big brother and Channel four would be more than upto the job. They put a lot of money into this. If you say that they always put the Eye up on ads and billboards then I would say they would have to change that and add big brother as well. Remenber I have only watched (8) and celeb hijack so I was unaware of the advertising for anything before, bear with me
