Growing up as a toddler in the early 2000s in Australia and discovering Wallace & Gromit, I became fond of the 1989-1997 BBC, and Children’s BBC logos, as well as its accompanying idents as the VHS tapes I was given had not yet been updated, and that was the first time I fell in love with branding and corporate identity, as well as News somewhat, as I drew the logo with coloured markers onto a piece of a paper, and sticky taped it to a toy drumstick pretending it was a microphone, hah.
I eventually looked a lot more into the history of BBC’s idents as well as BBC News in general in the late 2000s. I discovered TVForum between 2014 and 2015, and it was nice to find a community full of people who have the same passion and interest with idents and general branding.
It has been fun to read the discussions that have happened over the years, such as the BBC News technical issues, the Reith Corporate rollout, and the launch of the new BBC Two idents in 2018 to name a few. I signed up to TV Forum Live earlier this month and look forward to the new experiences being shared there, and being a part of the conversation!
Well done to all who contributed to TVForum over the last 20 years, and thank you Asa and Mods for your hard effort keeping the Community a fun haven for all admirers of TV Presentation/News & Current Affairs.
…and finally
Hello everyone, a long time lurker over the past few years, but large appreciator of the content posted here over the years. I had made an account earlier this month, but hadn’t been able to get around to making this post, but it is better late than never after all!
