7pmprojHas anybody else noticed the similarity between the opening credits of The 7PM Project and Channel Nine’s old station ID from the 1980s?

  1. This is so true, but with more colour and a modern music theme. I wonder if the hosts know this? The next 7PM Project topic might have to be about their title relating to 1980’s ID form Nine?

  3. @ Stan,

    completely agree – Nine used to make some fantastic promos. I loved the 2002 one with the massive balls bouncing everywhere and the different colour for each day thing. Nine should definitely revert back to that ID, even if they aren’t Still The One anymore.

    It’s ashame the 7PM Project isn’t “the one”.

  7. Geeze you’re right too… good pick up. Something had been vaguely nagging at the back of my head about those credits now you come to mention it, maybe that was it 😉

  9. I see how similar they are. But it’s been done a billion times. We all know you hate the 7pm Project, this continuous bashing is just nuts.

    Give it some good publicity for once. Noticed you hardly even mentioned the fact that they talked more about the Kyle jackie o thing…

    Boo you!

    1. Thanks Nathan. I actually acknowledged how improved that episode was. They picked up the ball after my criticism so I figure they agreed it had been poorly handled. If I had wanted to jump on the show I could have done so after ep 1, but I waited a week and gave it a review many posters here commended as very fair. And for the record this story isn’t a criticism. It’s a bit of fun…

  10. Well spotted, David!

    The Nine Network used to produce some great IDs! My fave was from 1992-94, when a purple ribbon would come across the screen & we’d head straight through a gold map of Australia, ending up behind it & over a glass skyscraper with a gold Nine or affiliate logo. The corresponding city skyline would reflect on the skyscraper behind the logo.

    So much trouble taken to make each ID look very local…

  13. Ummm havent you already guessed, there is nothing new in TV…so the similarities will happen… maybe you could say the 7pm project is an updated version, and that any similarities if any are purely coincidental and not meant to obeject……

  14. Thought I was the only one who noticed that.

    Excellent – not as insane as I thought.

    Yes you are.

    Shut up.

    Either way, not the most “current and hip” style of opening credits in my mind.

    I also have a problem with the name (fine for mystery leading up to it, not catchy enough for a real name, too similar to The 7.30 Report), but maybe that’s just me.

    Yes it is.

    Shut up.

  15. Yeah now that you bring it up it looks like the folks at TEN have been watching old youtube clips of Nine stationIDs!

    What a great old ID that is but the ones from the 70’s are even better.

    I’m also thinking Nine can reuse that ID in a few years time when they inevitably take back the #1 spot 🙂

  19. yep it is rather simmillar nine should go back to its still the one tag

    still the one for having trashy shows that havent got a hope in hell of rating

    still the one for pulling shows of after 1 or 2 episodes

    still the one for making last minute changes

    at 9 were still the one
