Interactive program guide with graphic program listings

1. A method for presenting a media guidance application using control circuitry, comprising:

requesting, from a server located remote to the media guidance application, via a two-way communication link, data associated with a plurality of television programs;

in response to the requesting, receiving, from the server via the two-way communication link, the data associated with the plurality of television programs;

processing, using the control circuitry, the data associated with the plurality of television programs to generate program listings for the plurality of television programs, wherein a title or name of at least one of the plurality of television programs is graphically branded to emulate the title or name of the television program as it appears in a broadcast of the television program; and

generating for display, using the control circuitry, the plurality of program listings.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data associated with the plurality of television programs is received independently from receiving the plurality of television programs via the two-way communication link.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating for display the plurality of program listings further comprises:

arranging the plurality of program listings in a grid, based on content associated with the plurality of television programs.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of program listings is arranged in a grid based on categories associated with the plurality of program listings.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of program listings further comprises a logo of a content provider of a respective television program associated with each respective program listing of the plurality of program listings.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating for display a promotion that includes a logo for a television program being promoted wherein the promotion is generated for display proximate to the plurality of program listings.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the television program being promoted matches the at least one of the plurality of television programs.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the promotion includes at least one of a logo of a sponsor of the television program being promoted, a celebrity name associated with the television program being promoted, and a celebrity image associated with the television program being promoted.

9. The method of claim 6 , wherein the television program being promoted does not match a television program of the plurality of television programs.

10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, using the control circuitry, user input selecting a program listing of the plurality of program listings; and

in response to receiving the user input selecting the program listing, performing at least one of generating for display, recording, adding to a favorite list, and ordering a television program associated with the program listing.

11. A system for presenting a media guidance application comprising control circuitry configured to:

request, from a server located remote to the media guidance application, via a two-way communication link, data associated with a plurality of television programs;

in response to the requesting, receive, from the server via the two-way communication link, the data associated with the plurality of television programs;

process, using the control circuitry, the data associated with the plurality of television programs to generate program listings for the plurality of television programs, wherein a title or name of at least one of the plurality of television programs is graphically branded to emulate the title or name of the television program as it appears in a broadcast of the television program; and

generate for display, using the control circuitry, the plurality of program listings.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the data associated with the plurality of television programs is received independently from receiving the plurality of television programs via the two-way communication link.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured, when generating for display the plurality of program listings, to:

arrange the plurality of program listings in a grid, based on content associated with the plurality of television programs.

14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the plurality of program listings is arranged in a grid based on categories associated with the plurality of program listings.

15. The system of claim 11 , wherein each of the plurality of program listings further comprises a logo of a content provider of a respective television program associated with each respective program listing of the plurality of program listings.

16. The system of claim 11 , further comprising generating for display a promotion that includes a logo for a television program being promoted wherein the promotion is generated for display proximate to the plurality of program listings.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the television program being promoted matches the at least one of the plurality of television programs.

18. The system of claim 16 , wherein the promotion includes at least one of a logo of a sponsor of the television program being promoted, a celebrity name associated with the television program being promoted, and a celebrity image associated with the television program being promoted.

19. The system of claim 16 , wherein the television program being promoted does not match a television program of the plurality of television programs.

20. The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:

receive user input selecting a program listing of the plurality of program listings; and

in response to receiving the user input selecting the program listing, perform at least one of generating for display, recording, adding to a favorite list, and ordering a television program associated with the program listing.
