Disappointed. Whenever Asianet go for a revamp I expect a package like Star Pravah, Suvarna or Jalsha. Again they followed the stereotype. No impressive underscore. Graphics is good but similar to previous ones, therefore boring. The typical female vocal underscore.
When it was pink & blue logo they used animations - the bars twisting.
Unfortunately, that’s to be expected for Asianet. Asianet refuses to play by the rules of other Disney Star regional channels’ graphics, like having a logo animation whenever the show resumes from the break, which other Star channels change very often. There is no common holding shape for the show name and logo, and even though other channels’ Hotstar show thumbnails follow the same colour scheme, that’s not the case for Asianet.
And of course the logo will never change, and neither will the graphics be influenced by historical and cultural elements, like we saw even last year with Zee Keralam.
Admittedly non-South Star GECs (Plus, Bharat, Jalsha, Pravah, Kiran) are much more consistent and well-rounded than South GECs, but even within South, I feel Star Vijay, Suvarna and even Star Maa nowadays are overall more well-rounded than Asianet. Those have most of the graphics elements that we expect from Indian TV channels, but not only Asianet but also Mazhavil Manorama cut corners in certain places.
Still, overall this is a welcome change from the same kind of template that we have been seeing from Asianet for a long time, but I agree that some things could have been done differently.
