The logo isn't very good but it gets a thumbs up from me for replacing the ghastly one they were using previously.


Yes, they've finally said goodbye to Mozilla Thunderbird.

Think the BBC NEWS logo looks good in Reith on this...

I still think the logo should be left untouched, the Gill version just looks so much classier to me.

Hard to get a good look at it, seeing as it's only on the windows and not actually on any on screen graphics yet.

Has it been mentioned that Reith is started to be used in videos?

Also, while doing a google search on Reith I found a BBC website where a dozen or more so versions of Reith were posted.

Anyone got any caps of the titles? Are they the same but just in Reith? What lower thirds are they using?

Same lower thirds and the titles look the same aside from the font change.
