A fact from Big 4 (sculpture) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 3 December 2012 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that the Big 4 outside Channel 4's headquarters in London has been covered with umbrellas, dressed as a wheelchair paralympian, made to "breathe" and has had a snowman fly over it (pictured)?

I assume that, because the shape only comes together from a certain angle, it was either designed in tandem with, or directly inspired the development of, the creative on-screen channel ident films which precede many programmes. Can someone confirm the connection and/or the timelines?

I think so too, although I haven't found a source to state specifically so. Miyagawa (talk) 21:35, 3 December 2012 (UTC)Reply
