With recent discussions about rebranding E4, here's an abandoned design of the channel done by The Designers Republic, featuring quite a lot of pluses:



In their own words:

The first phase concept Channel 4 encouraged us to develop from our initial ideas was based on the idea of 'entertainment +', which we expressed in terms of Orwellian Double Plus Good (nineteen E4).

It was conceived as a universal, visually and conceptually-recognisable device abstracted from and building into an ownable identity around a constructed E4 logo.

Should this become the main symbol, most of us would probably be moaning at incorporating the E into the 4 (and to be fair, the earlier concepts in doing so looks more suitable for American affiliates), and might perceived the upcoming relaunch more positively, but who knows? It's certainly a bold and weird design.
