Following Channel Four’s recent rebranding of More4 in January they have turned their attention to their popular UK music channel, 4Music. This March, following the trend for more socially engaging TV channels, 4Music will launch a new visual identity system that will include a new logo and on-screen idents created by Box Tv.
My initial opinion was that, in its static form the new logo had lost a lot of the energy of the previous iteration but on reflection this two dimensional version has a far greater flexibility that once animated should recapture some of the lost dimensionality while delivering a more diverse and expressive set of brand personalities.

Logo & Branding News: More4
Posted: January 23, 2012 Filed under: Logos & Branding, Music, TV & Film | Tags: animation, branding, design, graphic, identity, logo, manvsmachine, More4, news, review, TV 1 Comment »Following last Novembers news that UK channel More4 was being given a visual overhaul, today sees the launch of the complete identity system managed and designed by London based digital design agency ManvsMachine.
“The re-brand is centred round a bold, flexible logo that morphs through a series of flips, folds and reveals. The colour palette reflects the vibrant nature of interiors, food culture, fashion and other contemporary lifestyle programming.”
“Live-action idents see the brand break out into the real world in the form of mechanical ‘flippers’. The installations inhabit environments from a domestic staircase to an abandoned fishing boat in Dungeness. To achieve this ManvsMachine teamed up with installation design pioneers, Jason Bruges Studio, to help design and build a flexible system consisting of over 400 individual flipper units.”
