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.

It's incredible! The next series is starting in January after it took a 2 year break.

Yes, let's make our Big Brother as boring and bland as all the others! 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.

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

I meant graphic wise. 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

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.

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.

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.

I love that!

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.

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.

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.
