Never seen a TV that shape before.

Yeah, I think you need to take a really good look at the Network rules and have a major rethink! Even in correct dimension those graphics would not work on screen and would no doubt be responsible for inducing more seizures than the original Harlech ident.

Plus there's already a very similar service run by Western, known as Arena.

Welcome to the forum anyway!

As I said, I may change the graphics, which I will now do in the near future.

Here we are, my second attempt at graphics. Come on, admit it. Their good!!!!!
Anyway, after many disappointing reviews at my first graphics (I admit, they were s**t.) I have decided to have another go. This time, I will be basing it on the theme of flags, which cloud media is now doing. It is very similar to the former BBC News 24 and BBC World graphics. This new theme hopefully will be more affective than the others I chose.

Aren't they just the old BBC flags? It's been a while so I might be wrong.

The only problem I can see with your proposal is that there is an existing channel with that genre. I don't think franchises will want to carry two of the same sort of channel but I could be wrong. I'm also not sure but I think there might be genre limits that prevent it happening as well.

Yes it is the BBC flags. It shouldn't be too much of a problem, because if you have seen the graphics for GTV, that is the old CARLTON idents from 1996 modified.
Also, I have had a look at arena and its programming is very similar to FIVER.

Can't find it on here (http://www.emoa.co.nr/gaeltv/index.htm). If you are referring to ident 3, it is quite different, note the star shape in particular.
Arena may be similar to Fiver however Fiver is a real channel.

If you give me a TV guide for Arena, I will see if I can point out mistakes in CLoud Flashback.

You'll have to ask Phil (western) for that.
