Although Channel 4 has changed, I think there is at least some varied and interesting programmes.
If you like Big Brother.
Yeh. That's the change although there can't be long to go on that one ( hopefully! ) But at least it's balanced out with documentary strands / current affairs of different sorts. There's nothing wrong with
a
soap in the schedule such as Hollyoaks, it's when there's endless soaps.
Fair enough. I'm glad to see the back of BB and BBLB.
On the soap thing, one soap is fair enough, but two (three if you include The Bill, which I don't) soaps, pretty much every day is just plain annoying.
Hardly a rush job the time it's taken to restore these pages! However I do agree that it's disappointing there's been no actual updates, with dancer / circle idents.
And it's bizarre how the site says they don't have any pictures of BBC Scotland, and yet there's a picture of Pacific Quay on the BBC Scotland index page...

Aesthetically, neither are remarkable. But for consistency, a standard numeral '4' seems the logical choice - BBC Four as the only channel with a roman numeral logo would sort of stick out like a sore thumb!
BBC2 is obviously fine because you've not changed anything (!), but I'd say the biggest success here is that the '1' and the '2' compliment each other very well - they both have lots of body, are solid colour and sans-serif style. The '1' looks modern, and you were exactly right not to go backwards to 1991 for that, as that old numeral now looks somewhat dated.
I'd say '3' and '4' both need looking at - possibly adapt them to closer match the style of 1 and 2 - that would mean a much wider, evened-out '3', and removing both the split-fill and the serif from the '4' (I can understand where you were going with the 'serif = highbrow' idea, but alongside the fill style, it disjoints it from the other logos).
News 24 is probably the poorest. The mustardy fill colour is not very inspired - it isn't nice to look at! If you really feel like doing something new with the N24 logo, I'd leave the identifying colour as red (or no colour at all) with 'NEWS' in Gill Sans, and just concentrate on ideas for the '24'.
The N24 without colour idea is good, so I'll expand on that. I've got a wider version of the "3", so I shall try that. Do you reckon the "IV" looks better than the "4"?
