BS
I love both concepts to be fair, I feel like concept 1 is more of a realistic evolution but I also love the metro concept 2 which feels like the complete revamp that some of us crave.
Personally, the first concept seems stronger and more thought out. Ironically while the second designs have individual icons, it doesn’t feel as impactful. Two we know because of the current branding but I think from a face value, some may not recognise it as two. I also think because we know 2 and 3 are existing brands, 1 and 4 feel very flat. The radio brands also feel lacking in personality. I love the idea of having these app logos but for some it doesn’t work, Sport in this case feels a little basic.
The first batch however still retain the personality of the brands, I’m still not massively into Scotland being in lowercase but I do like the icon in the ‘o’. I also think the radio logos look nicer now they’ve been taken away from the block. CBeebies is still a bit too thick for my liking with all the outlines but I think that’s the only other weak one.
I do admire that concept two tried to rebrand iPlayer but BBC Video seems a bit...underwhelming. How about something like BBC+ ?
Thanks for your verdict! All options are certainly on the table in terms of any flaws that need fixing, though.
BTW, BBC+, hm? I was actually contemplating doing that, albeit as a combination of BBC iPlayer and BBC Sounds. I might look into that as a future project.
I'm quick to mock up ideas
Three choices - featuring a pink to orange gradient, signaling the idea of iPlayer and Sounds merging.
Plus sign - Gill Sans rebrand style - or custom wordmark job.
Also includes BBC logo in Reith
Wow, sweet!
