The refreshed 'Hollyoaks' logo
Published Wednesday, Jun 3 2009, 12:08 BST | By Kris Green | 50 comments
Those viewers who have caught episodes of Hollyoaks since Monday will have already spotted that new series producer Lucy Allan has implemented her promised "small but noticeable change" to the opening, closing and to-ad break title sequences.
For those who haven't seen yet, here's what the new ad break bumper looks like:
As you can see, the pink and blue logo has been dropped for a monochrome version, while the ad bumper character pictures have been switched to the colour variety.
I'm all for a refresh during new regimes, but I'm not sure about this one. A quick straw poll around DS Towers would agree.
But what are your thoughts? Let me know using the usual boxes below!

I loved the old old old logo! with the Tree but i am a long time Hollyoaks fan! and am slightly nostalgic! I think the ad bumpers looked classier in black and white!

i think they should have changed them completely and had a brand new look. Don't like this new logo, it's to dark.

Gemma from London needs to shut the hell up :) this change was a long time coming, you may have noticed that since the start of Lucy's reign as series producer the camera angles have changed and became alot more unusual and creative, these are not the only changes that Lucy is going to make, these things take time. And, I like both logos, I think the grey one is more sophisticated but the coloured one is nice aswell.

I like the colour picture but not sure about the title. Also they should put every character in the title sequence.

i like the new logo especially the bit in black and white instead of the blue and pink.. its like a new generation of hollyoaks as one set of characters leave and a new set come. It looks a bit more up to date and younger to.

That's their idea of change? A couple of changes to the opening credits? This show is awful at the moment - ill thought out storylines - uber shallow characater development and an over-reliance on using flesh to cover up the poor writing and acting. Changing the credits won't cut it.

I must admit I quite like the new logo but I've still not got my head around the weird background noise in the theme tune that sounds a bit like a screech and needs some attention, in my opinion. I do agree for more of the characters to be in the opening credits and not just the younger ones too.

love it, the grey colours are more sophisticated, whereas the blue and pink was a bit childish; i know its aimed at children but i just believe the grey tones are better. and its not dull, the reason they changed the characters ad break vids to colour was to prevent the feeling of dullness. so yeah, s'all good (: x

I think it looks much better than the pink and blue logo. The characters in colour also make it better than the old black and white version
