2009 brought us a creative torrent of beautifully executed and masterfully architected channel branding campaigns. From our coverage of NBC’s “More Colorful Campaign” and UKTV’s overhaul of its 10 channel portfolio to talked about campaigns from SyFy, Discovery, and MTV, as an industry we responded to a challenging global economy crisis with creative grit and bullish business determination.
And as one of the few (if only) blogs dedicated purely to international TV & screen based branding, we look forward to continuing to bring you news in 2010 from the branding frontline, including (of course) the business perspectives behind them. We ask that you continue your invaluable feedback and contribution to the dialogue. Lastly, (after much encouragement) we are now finally on Facebook. If you like this blog, please support us by joining Art & Business of Motion on Facebook. You can of course still follow us on Twitter.
So as we say a last goodbye to 2009, here’s a conveniently indexed list of 40 memorable channel branding campaigns we covered for you from 2009. To all the folks that help make this happen, a huge thank you! – Denny

Art & Business of Motion 
Great compilation of stories. Most especially helpful because we don’t get much exposure to the UK channels here.
Must admit the Cartoon Network rebrand is one of my top favorites, though some of the sports rebrands covered here are interesting as well. Enjoyed PBS’ work this year as well.
Have bookmarked this list!
I had the highest hopes for Discovery this last year, but in my opinion it’s slightly veered off course. Maybe its just my imagination but I notice them changing their on-air look far too often?
Syfy was promising (keyword WAS). Loved the stuff you shared out of Asia, really beautiful aesthetic.
