That, we can both agree on. I personally liked my first incarnation better because y’know, it started it all. During the second phase of this mock, I’ve learned a few lessons, so I guess the next move would be to go back to square one (pun intended) and blend some of the changes from the rectangle design to see if that fits, in a Rai-style move.

We now interrupt this mock to join Biggie's Mock Laboratory...

i think it's time for a refresh for the bbc
Another logo change? Good point. Well, If I were to do that, I might either use the square again, but rounder, with the channel names as the same size as the logo text (a bit like Rai in Italy or something), or just use circles in place of blocks. If not, I might just keep fighting to get the right concept to save this mock from spiralling downward.
Yes, Rai is a good example of how a square can work. Glad you're looking back at that, though maybe with a new BBC logo you need to do what was done in 1997 and keep all the channel logos uniformed too in the same font.
This has turned from really interesting and promising to really boring. The logo change has killed the concept I'm afraid.

Good point. That's exactly what I'm trying to pull off, you can see in that hidden BTS shot.
I'm also looking into the idea of doing what I can with current mock (I could also make the square rounder to fit with the times), while I might do another, much better one in the autumn/fall, which might see me trying out the "blocks" concept - I could do a summer mock and an autumn mock in the same year, or do a new mock annually. An actual fact to boost my morale: I've got an established history of trying to incorporate Reith into the main logo.

For those wondering how Rai looked both in the past and nowadays:

That first Rai4 logo looks awful. So garish.
I actually prefer the middle column of logos (logos before the most recent refresh) in that image. Looks neat with the number inside the box.

Wow, point made.
Yes, the middle column works well, both with the numerals in the box and the text. Not so sure about the right - the numerals certainly look worse and having two fonts looks like they're competing against each other, which is why I think sticking to the one is probably best.
Wow, point made.

It could do with some color, but on balance, that looks pretty good.

Yeah, balance was the main focus here, I didn't even bother coloring it
