Reading this thread, I figured, let's see how the 1991 logo would've looked with the name Children's changed. I've adapted one of the 1994 idents to read Kids BBC and CBBC.
I Prefer Design 1, the other one seems a bit 'lonely' being just one line and only having the C in a different font. On Design 2 I can also see where you cropped around the C in "Children" so you might want to fix that. In general though, I do quite like it.
I actually agree. The second one didn't really work because it removed pretty much everything unique from the old logo. Which proves the point in the thread I linked to and that inspired this, about why they didn't modify the existing idents with the new name in 1997. The reason I chose this one was for it's flat colours. I wouldn't be able to do the ones with 3D on them, or with busy backgrounds.
As for the C cropping, well, that's what happens when working with a JPG source I guess (the background is supposed to be one colour). And it's probably a VHS rip.

There's nothing special about the font used for the C. You could probably substitute it for a more suitable font and not have to worry about cropping an image.

Why can nobody use the proper BBC logo? It's widely available. The version used here has square boxes and Gill Sans Regular lettering - the proper version has slightly rectangular boxes and custom lettering. I know it's a small thing, but it looks cheap and it isn't like the proper version is unavailable.
