Now onscreen dice graphic on Apple TV

Is there any reason why the Apple TV EE Now channels have a white dice logo so bright white In the top right corner? Surely this is just going to cause screen burn if you watch alot of them?

I get the now sports channels have watermarks but usually they are semi transparent not bright white. Not the best for our TVs and also is very distracting as often the brightest thing on the screen. Is it possible to dial down the brightness slightly? The EE TV mini has a semi transparent circle in bottom right - why can’t it be the same as that?

The size, position, opacity, and shape of the icons form part of the contract with the content providers - they're required for anti-piracy reasons (so the source of pirate streams can be uniquely identified).

I've asked for it to be reviewed though - to make sure it's exactly as per requirements. It does seem brighter than usual.

Does seem very bright as a posed to using the Now app directly, or using the EE Mini box. Feels odd that The Mini Box has a see through circle in the bottom right which is semi transparent whereas the same service through Apple TV has a different much brigher icon.

Makes the EE TV Stream mainly pointless when I can just use the Now app (that has a see through square in bottom right). the dimmed and see through are a lot less distracting than the Apple TV one overall - shame its not consistent with the EE TV Service overall. Hopefully the brightness can just be dialled down a bit.
