Default All-New All-Old-Skool Arrow Video Ident!

So most of you by now know (or may have gathered) I'm a sucker for the old days of video - especially the branding. The lurid yellow tones of Shameless seem to have been popular and with Arrow Video we're going for clinical white cases and white bordered sleeve to really let the lurid artwork sing out.

That's only part of it though - to be properly cool you have to have a brand ident to make people weak in anticipation of what's about to play out. So an all-new old skool Arrow Video has been commissioned and here it is...



This was designed by Dean Harmer at aitch : creative limited after a barrage of suggestions I threw at him and what I love the most is that it looks proper analogue old!

Funnily enough I spoke to the BVA about whether we could use the old Simon Bates intros. They (very nicely) sent me back a very tired response about people asking about this and no it's long out of copyright.

That has reminded me though I've been swapping e-mails with Simon of late - must ask him what he thinks.

I think more fun could be had with the opening of DVDs - I'll let you know if we advance anything

Aside from that - what do you think about the ident?

That ident is ****ing sweet!

Made me feel all nostalgic.

I haven't got sound here, but I am hoping it's accompanied by some fitting keyboard organ music?

Was it Harry Enfeild who done a spoof of those intros? This film may contain sexual swear words such as bollocks!

Of a similar note, The IT Crowd's take on the Anti-Piracy ads.

I'd do the intro.

Dress up like a middle aged man, maybe wear one of those houndstooth jackets that sportscasters used to wear, that swirled with psychedelic patterns on an old TV
