Fox: Disaster Watch Begins

I think the problem was that the logo was originally made for 4:3 resolution screens (look at the logo screencap on this page - http://www.vidiot.com/Angel/), and someone had to make it a widescreen-sized image.
yeah. pretty sad. could they not have just spent 5 minutes making some new fake clouds?
yes fox is pretty stupid for messing up this royally (and one stupid, greedy, biased, false organization), but what's it say about all of us who just saw this after all this time it being up there? lol :P
There's, like, a cloud generating tool right there in Photoshop. Render > clouds. Come on.
With all due respect, that is the only logo example on Google I can see where there is obvious clone repeat. I doubt it's a studio mistake, more someone else editing the logo and making the stuff up.
pffft render > clouds doesn't give you usable clouds.
You still need to do more work to them after you use that tool to make them look half decent. Its easier to just walk outside and take a photo. Or fire up your 3D software and render some nice 3D clouds.
Render still gives you something to work with and it's not that hard to go from there. There's no excuse to be copying and pasting it.
I think they just wanted these clouds to be fair and balanced..
i lost all my respect for fox wen they canceled futurama
@ Wade
Excuse me? Fire up your 3D software and render some nice 3D clouds?
I've never seen any 3D program with a 'make cloud' option. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's a time consuming thing to make realistic clouds in 3D. But if I'm missing something, please...enlighten me.
Whoa!..
The big catch ever..
you have a 50ton shark at the end of your rope.
:P
@ jayce
I think you're right. I just checked out a FOX TV show and noticed the logo looked like this:
http://xmedheadx.homestead.com/files/20th.jpg
Any 3d program will have a cloud generator plug-in.
Most the good ones will let you decide the type of clouds, size colors etc.. etc...
But once again, the easiest way to get a realistic cloud (if thats what you are going for) is to go outside and take a photo.
Hey
Found out about your blog from a mention in The Guide which is a weekly entertainment booklet in The Guardian (UK Newspaper) It was featured on April 12th, see link below
http://www.guardian.co.uk/theguide/internet/0,,1240822,00.html
(scroll down to April 12th)
I love this blog, I think its hilarious how bad some of the photoshop is
@ jayce/david
You guys might be right.

@ jayce/david
I noticed this at the end of some episodes of 24 season 6. I'm not sure where else it crops up but thought that it definitely warranted a post.
I also assumed the logo had been modded from a 4:3 aspect.
You know what I say? Who friggen cares about some cloned clouds? Some of the other stuff on here was worth reading about, but if a few clouds get people worked up... yeah.
Cloud generator? Why not use Mother Nature. For heaven's sake (pun intended) sent a photographer outdoors and capture the real thing!
@carry
you cared enough to post ;)
But seriously, I suppose your right and its just a few clouds.
It's an mistake all the same and I thought it was interesting that it was apparent in a motion graphic.
@Amos. True, and I understand totally the reason behind the message. However, I wouldn't go on and on about something like that. Who really cares. Would I turn away from the show/movie because of something so slight that the normal person would not notice? No.
Would I point it out and say... Look at that!! Nope.
But when you put a white girl's face on a black girl's body or vice versa, then, it is time to say... HOLY CRAP!! :D
I just meant that there are worse things to get worked up about.
Carry
I can assure you that if anyone appears 'worked up' it's you. I just watched 4 more episodes of the show in question this afternoon. So it hasn't turned me away from it at all.
Good for you for feeling you could sit on this and not point it out. I guess I'm a fickle man who wanted to contribute to a website he visits regularly.
Shame on me.
Nobody is worked up about it.
I think every is more surprised that one of the biggest film companies feels the need to cut a corner by poorly cloning their logo.
A logo everyone in the world is looking at. Yeah....no big deal.
exactly my thoughts wade :).
@ Wade
My point is that I doubt this is a studio mistake. Unless it can be proven that this came from an actual Fox source I highly doubt it has been studio produced.
I didn't catch it at first. like your site
I don't see what the big deal is. They're just clouds. It's not like it's a sight for sore eyes or anything.
Hey Daikun, thanks for taking the time to point out that it's not worth taking any time to point out.
I'm so glad you set us all straight.
nice post (^_^), at first i didn't notice that.. (^_^)..
but oh..
nobody's perfect (^_^)
great find mates
boring!!!!!!!!!!!!! All though i didn't really read it boring!!!!!!!!
Person above me is a moron.
Also: I'm usually entertained by the stuff here, but this... I didn't notice it on the original. Okay, so there are some cloned sections, but I'd say it's not a disaster. I didn't even notice it at all... This just seems nit-picky.
For those in the UK, there's some equally bad cloning on display on the current billboard campaign advertising Cyprus as a holiday destination. (There's one at Waterloo station, for instance.) Horrible really obvious repeated ripples and reflections in the sea, etc etc.
all of you guys are lifeless!! look at your own errors!! i mean!! nobody is perfect!! you are not perfect!!! soo!! oh look this is wrong that is wrong they are stupid because of this and that!! your are stupids because you have no life you have to be looking at someone elses errors to have something to talk about..
Cry more.
@Anonymous at 7:48:
Let's go through your arguments step by step:
all of you guys are lifeless!! Checks pulse: Nope, still alive. Also, you've used no capital letter to start your sentence and two exclamation marks. I guess we should be glad that you haven't found the shift-key, or worse, the caps-lock-key.
look at your own errors!! I do, and even though this one isn't obvious, it's still sad that a billion dollar company uses this kind of work.
i mean!! Are you?
nobody is perfect!! Again, a billion dollar company is using photoshop clone tool clouds in their logo.
you are not perfect!!! Reiteration of your above statement. "Nobody is perfect " = "You are not perfect." That said, we (hopefully) all strive for perfection, learn from our mistakes and use capital letters to start sentences.
soo!! "soo"? Not even worth commenting. Also, one exclamation mark would have made the point.
oh look this is wrong that is wrong they are stupid because of this and that!! I'm not even going to try and read this sentence unless I'm armed with a bunch of periods and commas.
your are stupids because you have no life you have to be looking at someone elses errors to have something to talk about.. Well, your are stupids too. Reiterating: capital letters, commas, apostrophes and proper punctuation are your friends.
OK, enough fooling around...
I work as a graphic designer.
Sometimes I have to churn out work on a tight deadline. That is still no excuse for sloppy work. Especially, again, when working for a billion dollar company.
Most of the people who visit this site try and learn.
Every time I turn out a piece, I check to see if I have done the best job possible, and I also check to see if (God forbid) it would end up on here. (And to be honest, there's work I've done only five years ago that might deserve a post here.)
wow!!! i love exclamation marks hahaha!! and i hate capital letters!! so what!! you understood what i meant.... that you are lifeless hahaha!! or is it jealousy? that somebodies work.. that for you is not perfect is chosen.. but your work that is soooo perfect... is not??
hahaha that is funny..
@Anonymous at 8:24:

Good try, but you're not the same guy that I answered to.
I propose making "you are lifeless" a meme.
lifeless for president!!! hahahah
but still... your perfect work is not going to be chosen!! :P you want to earn like those true GRAPHIC DESIGNERS who earn billions and come up with this ''imperfect'' work!!! or am I wrong telephone?? im i wrong about the fact that you are a life resentful man that criticizes somebody else's work because he is so jealous of others people success.. and so angry because they kill them self just to give out their works a nice touch... but at the end their effort is not recognize... it may be your case... but laugh be happy and instead of waining out, work and
beat this... or just be happy with what you have!!! common! hahahah!! telephone best wishes!!
"telephone best wishes!!"
I'm making that my new MSN comment. xD
Can't/doesn't read, can't write.
At no point have I said that my work was perfect. I strive for perfection, a slight difference.
whow! i didn't notice that... guys visit my blog! zandergre.blogspot.com
You're still jealous hahahahah! telephonie!!
Haha :D
It is not a clont tool - it is space that is bendt. (ref. general relativity)
mmm.. cool..
oh the clone tool...a blessing and a curse...

tell a mechanic "what's a couple extra bolts left over?"
tell a baker "so there's a couple eggs left out"
Someone got paid for most of these disasters, and it's either done right or it's not.
If YOU were paying big bucks to some ad agency for the job to be done right I'd doubt you'd be so forgiving.
This is a site for revealing sloppy/shoddy work, didja happen to notice that before ya started blabberin'???
k honestly..i've seen the other photoshop disasters and those suck..but these are clouds. who cares? come one, no life if clouds that look the same bother you.
it looks like a fetus
