October 2020 update

Added preliminary icons for Harmony 900.

September 2020 update

Added official label to the file names to indicate which icons were converted from official logos. Icons without the official label are either variants or edited.

A user reported the Harmony 650/700 icons also work for Harmony 900.

Note for Nine Network's icons: There are two sources of Nine Network's logos, the ones on Logopedia and Wikipedia where they look 3D, and the ones on 9now where they look flat. The flat logos on 9now are scalable SVG but the 3D logos on Logopedia and Wikipedia are low resolution PNG. I used the flat SVG logos to make my icons and so all Nine Network logos are labelled flat. I will make 3D logos if I can find them in SVG.

Channel 13 — New channel 10 SHAKE will begin broadcast from 27 September 2020
Channel 22 — New black colour variant of ABC COMEDY
Channel 22 — New ABC Kids logo

May 2020 update

Channel 74 — Simulcast of 7mateHD has replaced food network

April 2020 update

Channel 96 — 9 RUSH will begin broadcast from 5 April 2020. Made new icons based on bitmap PNG (scalable SVG is unavailable), so the resulting fidelity is low.

Channel 9/90/91 — Added stacked version for 9/90/91

Channel 33 & 94 — An user said the lime colour used by SBS FOOD and the lemon colour used by 9 Life are hard to see on his Harmony 650. Added colour adjusted icons.

June 2019 update

Channel 32 — SBS World Movies in high definition will replace SBS VICELAND in standard definition from July. New logos in official light blue and alternate black colours in two horizontal versions and one stacked version were added. The horizontal logos are so long and thin that they are practically useless. One week from the commencement of broadcast I hope these are the finalised designs.

Channel 95 — 9 Gem in high definition has replaced your money. Broadcast of 9 Gem in HD will end at the end of the Cricket Ashes tour. No change in logo.

Channel 3/30 — SBS has altered its logo with a bolder font

Channel 2/20/21 — ABC has changed its logo from graduated blue to a solid black colour

December 2018 update

10 BOSS was renamed to 10 BOLD to avoid an intellectual property rights lawsuit brought on by Fairfax Media, publisher of The Australian Financial Review's BOSS Magazine.

November 2018 update

ABC 2 was rebranded as ABC Kids & ABC Comedy a while ago. News Corp and Nine Entertainment Co has a new your money channel. Network Ten rebranded its logos after CBS's takeover. SBS's licensing agreement with food network will terminate soon and Seven Network will take it over.


References

I asked square eyes to update its collection of icons but got no response. I found a set of scalable vector graphics logos for Sydney's Free to Air TV Channels on Logopedia and converted them through GIMP for Logitech Harmony 650/700, 900, Elite/Touch/Ultimate remote controls & Harmony App. The icon backgrounds for 650/700 and 900 are inspired from square eyes' design, while the icon background for Elite/Touch/Ultimate & Harmony App is transparent.

I have omitted the icons for TV Shopping and Racing.com channels as they are against the spirit of OzBargain (i.e. money wasted unnecessarily). I have made stacked versions of selected logos for a better fit.

Due to a lack of Fair Use Provisions in Australia's Copyright and Trademark Acts, I will not share the icons in this post. Please tell me which icon set you want through the private messaging system only — I will ignore requests made through comments.

Comments

  • i.e. money wasted unnecessarily

    Half the comments I see are "why am I buying this?" or "I didn't need this" or "Bought it, what does it do?" :P

    Also advertising causes unnecessary spending to occur without the mark's recognition that their behavior has been altered.

  • How do I get the Australian free to air icons for the Harmony Elite? Has Squareeyes closed? Thanks

    • Square Eyes has not been updating its icons for several years. Send me a private message and I will send you the links to my updated icons. You do not have private messaging enabled and I will not publish these links on an open forum.

  • Thanks for the icons.

    Just missing the HD channel logos/icons for ABC HD, 10 HD, 7 HD, 9 HD and SBS HD.

    • Also missing are SBS VICELAND HD and 9 GEM HD.

      I did have separate HD icons at one stage but they were superfluous because I will never put both SD and HD channels together on the Favourites Screen at the same time. Are the SD channels your favourites in addition to the HD channels? You can always reach the alternate channels via numeric input and CH+/-, but the Favourites Screen is for frequently used channels. Do you regularly view both the SD and HD channels? It is for the same reason that I didn't make icons for TVSN and Racing.com channels.

      In terms of designs I found the "HD" elements ugly and dominating, so much so that I couldn't tell which channels the icons represented beside distinguishing from the base colours and memorising their locations on the screen. So I abandoned them after wasting hours fruitlessly scaling and repositioning the HD elements. Finally I realised I don't need both SD and HD channels icons on my Favourites Screen even if I was satisfied with my efforts.

      • Normally its the HD channels for the favourites and not the SD. No point duplicating.

  • 7mateHD on channel 74 has replaced food network. Other than the removal of icons for food network there is no change in the May 2020 update.

  • Seven Network updated its logo design for 7mate since 10 July. 9RUSH icon now based on high quality SVG.

  • Any chance of an update for 10 Shake?

    New channel 13 - 10 Shake is now live.

    With 10 HD moved to channel 1.

    • Waiting for a SVG logo. Won't be long.

      • Ok i'll wait.

        The blue 7 mate and 9 logos are difficult to read on the Harmony 650 remote.
        I stick with the darker similar 9 logo found on http://www.iconharmony.com and its got perfect contrast.

        • 10 SHAKE starts programme transmission on 27 September. ATM it is broadcasting rolling ads. I am hoping the SVG logo for 10 SHAKE will appear on 10 play next week. The current week's TV guide stops on 25 September.


          I am sorry but as I explained to you in my 2019 PM, I do not have a Harmony 650 to test with. Please use whichever icons you find the most pleasing because it is impossible for me to tell the result from a PC monitor.

          It is not my fault that Seven Network re-designed the 7mate logo and removed the black outline, and in the process made the new icon hard to read on the 650. You may prefer to use the old icon (from me, from iconharmony (IH), or from MyHarmony App's TV service provider matching service) instead.

          Specifically in regards to the 9Life logo, I have explained to you in my PM why the icon on IH appeared easier to read than mine on the 650, which are that

          1. the shadow of the 3D variant logo used by IH created a false border which better delineates the icon from the background,
          2. the inaccurate colours used by IH which impart higher but false contrast to the icon, and
          3. the poor scaling used by IH which paradoxically make its icon more legible on 650's low res screen.

          The same reasons hold for other channel logos from Nine Network.

          I adjusted the icon colours of 9Life and SBS Food just for you and asked for your feedback, but I have heard nothing since September 2019. On the one hand I am sorry that you have found my logo conversions unsatisfactory, but on the other hand I am pleased that the icons hosted on IH have perfect contrast and worked well for you. Since it is futile to improve upon perfection, therefore I will not attempt further adjustments to my icons.

  • My philosophy when converting the TV logos to Harmony icons is to stay faithful to the original design as much as possible, and so I have limited my manipulations to:

    1. obtain logos as scalable vector graphics (to allow for infinite precision scaling) in various official colours and orientations,
    2. relocate elements of the logo design, if required, to create vertically or horizontally orientated versions,
    3. scale to native resolutions as used by Harmony remotes and app, and
    4. for the Harmony 650/700, add gradient background frame.

    I do not want to adjust the colours of the icons if the broadcaster has not created alternate colour versions of its logos, but I have, as an exception, created and made available colour-altered icons of the SBS Food & 9Life logos following negative feedback from g12345567.
