[timmy]

Well yes, that's official:

I actually like the new logo, this is happening so fast. Must've been in the works for some time considering they've just open up applications for the show. I checked the Endemol Shine website only a few hours ago and nothing was on there regarding this, so they're full steam ahead! Could be the usual April to June/July run?

When they say “the game has changed” I really hope this isn’t a hint towards a US/CAN format... that would actually be the biggest dissapointment.

 

[timmy]

I hope they systematically rule out any applicants with more than 300 followers on Insta/Google/etc.

 

[Kegztaa]

We’re back baby!
Get that new thread going!!!

Tbh I've never watched an overseas version of the show, but surely if they wanted to entice the viewers of the original they wouldn't change it too drastically. Then again, they could be on the hunt for an entirely new audience. Crazy that literally about 24 hours ago it was announced it was returning and now they've begun the application process.

 

[timmy]

it was announced it was returning

It wasn't even announced. A website leaked it without any actual attribution or proof.

 

[BB12]

Ahh yes, well I'm still in shock

 

[JohhnyBoy]

Go for a 2001 format BB first up, and then start changing it up to entice viewers back after that to keep it fresh.

I actually like the new logo

Interesting with all the plus and minus signs on the left hand side. Meaning...? Upvote and downvote? Maybe a divided house with candidates being voted in or out?

Yeah you could be right. Would be interesting if you could simply vote + or - for certain housemates on an app.

I had already started designing the BBB 2020 eye and luckily ruled out a "neon" theme, cos it was too likely the official one would be that.

BBB eye will be very cool though.

I think most people have that amount on Insta these days.

 

[Columbo]

ohhh exciting times.

now don't stuff it up, seven. please.

 

[BB12]

They better not change the theme either, or I'll cry

 

[mistercat122]

Well there goes my icon ahha.
I really like this new design though, I think i prefer it wayy more than the tacky channel 9 versions.

 

[BB12]

I actually really like it, they're off to a good start. Though I remember before the 2012 reboot that they had another logo they used for a promo, it looked like the 05-07 logo. Then they completely rebranded it. But hopefully they stick to this.

I hope that it returns to its original winter slot when it was on 10. I’m not into MasterChef. I literally have nothing to watch over winter. So boring.

But I wouldn’t be surprised if they want to launch it after the Olympics. Apparently 7 is getting a relaunch around then.

 

[Zcsund1234]

Anyone here going to audition??

I’m filling out the application right now

 

[timmy]

So... timing of the casting call implications???? Surely if they start casting now it won't be waiting until after the Olympics (24 July to 9 August)? Does this mean 10 might have picked it up and not Seven?
