Happy New Year my friends.
And with it comes my yearly roundup (in no particular order) of the top 30 channel branding campaigns from 2011. From some well considered refreshes from HBO, Discovery, and MTV, to name changers (Velocity & Science), and a few behind the scenes glimpses from Eurosport, RTÉ, and Channel 5, 2011 was another glorious year of showing why design for the small screen was anything but.
If you like this list, or simply missed previous years, you can find 2010 here, and 2009 here. And as always, whether you are channel or agency-side- do get in touch if you want to talk shop.
Wishing you and yours a prosperous, healthy, and happy 2012.
Denny

Brill post. Particularly liked the BBC Entertainment & Velocity work for Discovery. Keep up the amazing blog mate!
Soho stuff, was good- could have been better. Loved the behind the scenes stuff (Channel 5 & RTE).
