I am warming up to the current new look around Europe and MENA, though I do prefer the 2019 US look, or the 2017 worldwide look

When did Disney Channel Scandinavia fully get the rounded square era?

When did Disney Channel Scandinavia fully get the rounded square era?

I don't know the exact date for it, but i believe the full rebrand with DOG and everything to have happened somewhere during Jan-Feb 2012

Here some footage from DC Scandi February 2012 (yet before the channel becomes 16:9) where you can still see the older ECP being used
Although later on this would be changed to a one in the same style with the idents used at the time (also used in the UK i think)

Actually idents with the smartphone logo were already used in 2011 even though the rebrand hadnt actually arrived yet (it was used in promos as well)

I read from @RegularCapital's wiki (which you should 100% check out) That Fox Kids Europe was going to change into Toon Disney?

Wonder what the UK feed would be like

It was a proposed idea that has never been carried through, the UK already had Toon Disney, this morphed into Disney Cinemagic.

It shows that Disney wasn't entirely sure on what to do with Fox Kids.

Yeah. I always feel like the popularity of Jetix led to Disney Cinemagic.

It's a lot more indirect than that, and more to do with the direction of the way Disney Channel was going, what led to the creation of Disney Cinemagic was the need for Disney Channel to become a basic subscription channel and Disney wanted to keep a premium service. Disney Channel having its own new-found programming identity was also another factor, at the time it was making its own Disney Channel branded live-action and animated originals (cheaper) without having to depend on programming from elsewhere from Disney.

Jetix was always pretty much treated separately from the rest of Disney and has its own identity.

Disney Channel in the U.S. was already a basic channel, but Disney's majority ownership of Jetix Europe may have also convinced them to pursue the basic pay-TV market.

Isn't that why we got shows like Famous 5 on the case and As The Bell Rings?

Yeah I remember this, and a couple of months later (in May 2012) DC Scandinavia finally switched to widescreen:

I'm still a little upset though after all these years that DC Scandinavia never adopted the US look which almost every European feed did back in 2012...

 

[Francisque]

Yeah I was about to point out the same thing.

Probably because it contained too much text, and that couldn't go with the Scandinavian feed that much

The live-action and animation is actually pretty much balanced now. This is what we needed after Disney XD was shut down. It was a slow progress as DC didn't give good treatment of animated shows in the first half of this year. Executive told me that there will be more animation and he kept his word!

One thing though, a lot of times animated shows air when people are either at school or are sleeping. Early mornings and later afternoons animation can be watched, however for just a few hours. This needs some fixing and needs better timeslots after 5p.
