Channel 4's new logo


The creative team 4Creative and the agency DBLG have decided to change the look of the logo by making it more creative. The classic logo had remained for more than a decade so they felt as though people were getting bored of the look of it. They designed it by starting with the original 4 logo then breaking it into nine blocks and the nine blocks symbolise how diverse 4 is, by the different shapes and sizes of the blocks.

Injured shark saved by brother in Florida.


For a lot of people, the idea of even being near a Shark is a huge risk of encountering danger, but a video of two brothers saving a shark that was pulled to shore by water has become very popular as people are commending their bravery. When they saw they shark they realised that it was badly hurt, it had deep fishing hooks in its mouth and a fishing line tangled around it's head. The two brave boys decided to rescue it by removing the hooks, untangling the fishing line and helping it swim away into the deep end. Bystanders screamed as they didn't understand what was happening, but soon they realised that the shark was harmless as it was hurt.

Google+ and Youtube are splitting up

Plus
Google + and YouTube have decided to go their separate ways. Google+ was created in late 2011 to give users a profile and the chance to past pictures, comment and socialise with other people, so in other words it was another Facebook. When it was clear that it was not getting as much attention and users as they thought it would, Google changed the set up and decided to make everyone get a Google+ account in order to comment and share videos on YouTube. Not many people were happy about this as they claimed that it actually made YouTube harder to use because it made everything more complicated. So YouTube users are very happy that Google have decided to drop Google+.
