One of Australia’s longest running subscription television networks TV1 began broadcasting in widescreen for the first time last week (sounds quaint I know).

To mark the occasion they refreshed their look with a heavy emphasis on branding the various day parts, and further reinforcing the retro yet modern feel.

TV1 have maintained a consistently strong on-air brand without actually straying too far from their core look as you can see in this 2006 post.

To coincide with the release of Assassin’s Creed II, Ubisoft

murder of the Duke of Milan in 1476, a role that takes him to Florence,
Milan, Venice and the Vatican. Here’s my fxguide interview with Hybride president Pierre
