A new look 5 Star launched new look
at 9am on Thursday 11th February 2016. The new logo, as with
Channel 5 and 5USA, was designed by New York agency Gretel.
According to Gretel, the channels branding is "built on crops of
the logo, filled with faceted shapes and dynamic patterns".
Gretel say "The concept of a multifaceted identity is a perfect
reflection of the audience – it speaks to depth and complexity.
Following a simple formula, countless permutations can be
generated – no two are the same. In motion the dynamic effect is
amplified, and filled with a variety of patterns, the result is
dazzling".
"The patterns are the emotional core of the brand. Each pattern
has a different feel and when combined they create exciting
clashes of personality. Even more so when mapped onto the facets,
pushing them in unexpected directions. They can be constantly
updated, giving the identity a fresh look seasonally".
